Résumé par Postule AI

Harmattan AI seeks an Aerodynamic Engineer to design and validate flight physics for UAV and eVTOL platforms. This role spans conceptual aerodynamic design, simulation (low and high-fidelity), physical testing, and Python automation. You'll collaborate with Mechanical and GNC teams in a fast-paced defense technology environment. Requires B.S./M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, strong aerodynamics fundamentals, Python proficiency, and hands-on validation experience.

Vos missions

  • Conduct aerodynamic design and analysis for fixed-wing, multicopter, and eVTOL configurations using XFoil, OpenVSP, AVL, and CFD tools
  • Support flight test and wind tunnel campaigns to validate simulation predictions against real-world data
  • Develop Python automation tools to process test data, streamline analysis workflows, and integrate design and simulation tools
  • Generate and maintain aerodynamic databases and stability derivatives for GNC team control law development
  • Collaborate with Mechanical and GNC teams to ensure aerodynamic choices are feasible, stable, and testable

Profil recherché

  • You have aerospace engineering background with aerodynamics and flight mechanics experience
  • You are comfortable moving fluidly between simulation, testing, and Python development
  • You thrive in small, fast-moving teams and enjoy hands-on technical work across multiple domains
  • You have practical experience with either aerodynamic simulation tools or physical testing campaigns

About the Role

Harmattan AI, a next-generation defense prime valued at $1.4 billion, is seeking an Aerodynamic Engineer to design, validate, and continuously improve the flight physics of UAV and eVTOL platforms. You will work across the complete design-to-validation loop—from conceptual aerodynamic design and simulation through physical testing to Python tooling—collaborating closely with Mechanical and GNC teams.

Main Responsibilities

  • Conduct aerodynamic design and analysis for fixed-wing, multicopter, and eVTOL configurations using low-fidelity methods (XFoil, OpenVSP, AVL) and higher-fidelity CFD
  • Support flight test and wind tunnel campaigns by defining test cards, instrumenting prototypes, and validating simulation predictions against real-world data
  • Develop Python automation tools to process test and flight data, streamline analysis workflows, and integrate design and simulation tools
  • Generate and maintain aerodynamic databases and stability derivatives for GNC team control law development and autopilot tuning
  • Collaborate with Mechanical and GNC teams throughout the design cycle to ensure aerodynamic choices remain feasible, stable, and testable

Required Qualifications

  • B.S. or M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, or related field with aerodynamics or flight mechanics coursework/project experience
  • Solid understanding of aerodynamic fundamentals (lift, drag, stability) and flight dynamics with design intuition
  • Proficiency in Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) for data processing, automation, and tool integration
  • Hands-on experience with aerodynamic simulation (CFD, XFoil, OpenVSP, AVL) or physical testing (wind tunnel, flight test, prototyping)
  • Familiarity with CAD tools (SolidWorks or CATIA) for geometry understanding and mechanical team communication
  • Pragmatic, hands-on mindset comfortable working across the full design-to-validation loop in a fast-moving team

Nice-to-Have

  • French language skills
  • RC aircraft or drone building and flying experience
  • Propeller design and airframe integration knowledge
  • Aeroacoustics expertise

Join Harmattan AI in shaping the future of autonomous defense systems.
