Acting as a liaison between internal engineering and research teams, this role progressively assumes greater responsibilities in model refinement, experimental design, and system integration while continuously expanding its expertise in flight dynamics. 🚀What You’ll DoFlight Dynamics Modeling & Simulation

• Develop and optimize advanced computational models to predict the performance and behavior of autonomous flight systems across a range of conditions—from subsonic to hypersonic regimes.
• Integrate complex physical phenomena (e.g., aerodynamic forces, structural dynamics, thermal effects) into simulation frameworks to ensure high-fidelity predictions.

Experimental Design & Validation

• Design rigorous experimental protocols for both laboratory and field tests aimed at validating theoretical models.
• Analyze experimental data using robust statistical and computational methods, identifying discrepancies and suggesting model refinements.

Cross-Functional Integration

• Collaborate closely with engineering, software, AI, and systems design teams to seamlessly integrate physical models into Destinus products (e.g., LORD, RUTA, E, and G).
• Provide actionable technical insights that drive design iterations and improve overall system performance.

Technical Reporting & Communication

• Prepare detailed technical reports, documentation, and presentations that clearly outline simulation methodologies, experimental findings, and recommended adjustments.
• Utilize data visualization tools to effectively communicate complex results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Innovation & Continuous Improvement

• Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and simulation technologies.
• Propose and implement innovative solutions to enhance model accuracy, computational efficiency, and overall system integration.

RequirementsMust-Have

• Expertise in advanced flight dynamics modeling and simulation methodologies across subsonic to hypersonic regimes.

• Experience in implementing simulation tools (e.g., CFD, MATLAB, Simulink) and validating complex flight models.
• Advanced degrees or certifications in aerospace engineering, flight dynamics, or related fields.
• Familiarity with aerospace system design, experimental methodologies, and model validation techniques.
• Ability to quickly learn and manage cutting-edge simulation technologies and customize models for various flight conditions.
• In-depth understanding of aerodynamics, aircraft performance metrics, and control systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with proven experience integrating simulation models into practical applications.
• Proficiency in technical reporting, data visualization, and documentation using standard industry methodologies.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working in multidisciplinary aerospace teams.
• Good level of English proficiency (written and spoken).
