  • We’re hiring a Mechanical & Aerodynamics Engineer to lead the design of ultra-high-performance UAV structures — engineered for interception agility, >400 km/h velocity, and real-world deployment. You’ll work across fuselage shaping, CFD, rotor/propeller optimization, and structural load modeling to push both efficiency and maneuverability to the limit.

    From stealthy control surfaces to high-thrust propulsion layouts, this is a rare opportunity to own every curve, spar, and fin that makes a UAV mission-ready at speed.

    Tasks

    • Design aerodynamic fuselages, struts, and flight surfaces for high-speed UAVs
    • Use CFD tools (XFOIL, OpenFOAM, FluidX3D) to optimize drag, lift, and flow stability
    • Model and simulate rotor and propeller configurations for maximum thrust and efficiency
    • Conduct FEA on composite structures under mission-specific flight loads
    • Integrate payloads (ISR, kinetic) with minimal aero disruption
    • Collaborate with flight software and controls teams to co-design for maneuverability
    • Prototype, test, and iterate with fast DfM cycles in the lab and airfield

    Requirements

    • 6+ years in aerospace, automotive aero, or high-performance UAV mechanical design
    • Expert in aerodynamic modeling and CFD tools (OpenFOAM, XFOIL, ANSYS Fluent, etc.)
    • Experience with composite design, fabrication methods, and load analysis
    • Familiarity with rotor/propeller modeling, including airfoil selection and blade design
    • Proficient in CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA) and FEA packages (Ansys, Fusion, Abaqus)
    • Strong understanding of high-speed flight dynamics and aero-structural coupling

    Bonus Points For:

    • Experience with missile-class UAVs or supersonic design constraints
    • Prior work integrating weapons or ISR payloads into aerodynamic platforms
    • Background in airframe stealth, radar cross-section shaping, or thermal signature control
    • RC/hobbyist background in racing drones or DIY aerospace projects

    Benefits

    • Design cutting-edge UAV platforms that actually fly — and win
    • Collaborate with autonomy, controls, and propulsion teams for holistic impact
    • Work in a dedicated aerospace R&D facility at Berlin TXL
    • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
    • Full-time, on-site role with rapid design–test–iterate cycles

    Who You Are

    You know airflow like others know software. You’re obsessed with performance, drag curves, and structural limits — but grounded in reality. Whether you're modeling the perfect strut shape or tuning a prop blade by hand, you’re building machines that cut through air with purpose.
