What we can offer you:
Dynamic (hybrid) working: This role requires on-site working in Bristol for the majority of the time due to security considerations and teamwork. However, we will try to accommodate a limited amount of remote working where there are opportunities to do so.
The opportunity:
The Aerodynamics department have an exciting and challenging opportunity for an Aerodynamics Engineer, where you will be involved in the aerodynamic design, characterisation and assessment of missile airframes, from early concept design through to in-service support and integration onto platforms. You will be part of a team of specialist engineers, working at the cutting-edge of missile aerodynamics.
The role is a unique opportunity to work with a broad range of hugely challenging flow regimes and covers free-flight aerodynamics, intake design, propulsion sub-system installation and the integration of our missiles onto air, land and sea platforms. The role presents the opportunity to use a range of CFD tools and methods, as well as in-house performance analysis tools. You may also be involved in wind tunnel testing and the assessment of flight trials.
The role includes the opportunity to work in a cross-functional team, collaborating with colleagues from System Design, Mechanical Design, Thermal Analysis, Simulation & Modelling and Guidance, Navigation & Control. There is also potential to work with external organisations such as the MOD, other aerospace companies & academia.
What we're looking for from you:
Good technical knowledge of Aerodynamics & Performance, ideally with experience of high speed flows or aircraft integration
A desire to get involved in innovative product development, with a proven record of delivering results to time, cost and quality
Experience using a range of CFD methods
