Job Description

Airbus Commercial Aircraft is looking for an Aerodynamics Specialist (f/m) to join our Aircraft Aerodynamics team based in Toulouse, France.

You will join the Aircraft Aerodynamics team within the transnational Airbus Flight Physics centre in Toulouse. Our team is responsible for the aerodynamic characterization of all Airbus programmes. We generate complex aerodynamic models using empirical models, surrogate models, CFD, and wind tunnel tests from the early design stages, subsequently validating and refining them through flight tests.

Your working environment

Toulouse is the world capital of aeronautics and the European capital of space research. This dynamic city in southwestern France is served by an international airport and is ideally located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, close to the Pyrenees, offering numerous opportunities for outdoor activities.

Because we take care of you

• Financial benefits: Attractive salary, profit‑sharing and incentive schemes, an Airbus‑supplemented savings plan and a voluntary employee share ownership plan with free share allocation based on the number of shares subscribed.

• Individual development: Numerous opportunities for evolution and training (over 10,000 e‑training courses available in open access) to develop employability, certifications, accelerated development programmes and national and international mobility.

Your challenges

• Analyse the aerodynamic impact of proposed designs (future concepts and flight demonstrators) on Anemo/Clino measurements.
• Explore new calibration methods by leveraging Machine Learning.
• Calibrate Air Data sensors via flight tests for incremental developments (XLR, A350F, etc.).
• Support the Flight Test centre in telemetry during performance campaigns.
• Provide precise reference values to systems teams and aircraft performance analysts.
• Master the impact of production defects or in‑service events on calibration.

This position may require occasional business travel.

Your boarding pass

• Background in aerodynamics.
• Strong proficiency in aerodynamic modelling and programming (Python).
• Knowledge of Data Science (AI/ML) and CFD (meshing, turbulence models) is a significant advantage.
• Natural leadership, ability to decide and positively influence various stakeholders; innovative and critical mindset.
• Advanced level of English is mandatory (French is a plus).

We support your development plan and encourage you to give a new dimension to your career.
