About the Role

We are seeking a mission-driven Aerodynamics Engineer to revolutionize the defence industry and build cutting-edge air defence missile systems that meet the acute demands of modern warfare. Your expertise will help us produce affordable defence solutions at scale, rapidly and reliably — all while helping to defend the free world.

At Frankenburg, you will join an exceptional team that unites leading figures from NATO’s eastern flank in both technology and national defence. As our Aerodynamics Engineer, you will be responsible for analyzing and improving the aerodynamic performance of missiles and structures. Your role involves conducting simulations and wind tunnel tests, as well as collaborating with cross-functional teams to optimize designs for enhanced performance, safety, and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct aerodynamic analyses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to predict airflow behavior around designs.
• Collaborate with design teams to develop efficient and innovative aerodynamic shapes for vehicles and structures. 
• Manage the inventory of wind tunnel testing equipment and ensure all tools are maintained and calibrated. 
• Coordinate wind tunnel testing schedules to optimize resource utilization and meet project deadlines. 
• Prepare detailed reports and presentations that communicate aerodynamic findings and recommendations to stakeholders. 
• Conduct feasibility studies to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of new design concepts and modifications. 
• Meet project milestones and performance targets to support the successful launch of aerodynamic products.
• Stay updated with the latest advancements in aerodynamics technologies and methodologies to enhance design processes. 

We Would Love You to Have 

• Experience: At least 5 years of experience in aerodynamics, or related field with a proven track record of successful project contribution.
• Knowledge: Strong understanding of fluid dynamics and aerodynamics principles. 
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in CFD software (e.g. ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, Missiledatcom).
• Performance: Proven track record in delivering outstanding results through collaborative teamwork in a challenging, fast-paced environment. 
• Mission Alignment: Deep commitment to our mission of building affordable and mass-manufacturable technologies to enhance defence capabilities. 
• Security Clearance: Willingness to undergo a background check as a condition of employment. 

What We Offer

• Mission-Driven Purpose: We exist to protect the free world by building affordable and scalable defence solutions that make a difference. 
• Dynamic International Team: We are talented, adaptable, and self-driven professionals with fresh perspectives and extensive expertise. 
• Inspirational Leadership: We provide opportunity to learn from experienced industry leaders who mentor and guide innovation in defence technology. 
• Results Over Status: We create real impact through rolling up our sleeves, delivering tangible progress, and moving our mission forward. 
• High Trust, High Standards: We take responsibility, make no excuses, and maintain the highest quality in everything from cost-saving measures to on-time project completion.
