You will generate and maintain aerodynamic databases that feed directly into flight dynamics, control law and simulation workflows, and validate simulation outputs against physical test data. Working at the intersection of computational analysis and hands-on test, your work shapes airframe design from early concept through to flight-ready hardware.</span></span><span class="EOP Selected SCXW254178228 BCX0" data-ccp-props="{"134233117":false,"134233118":false,"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></div>
