Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer (All Genders)

About the role

As Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer you will own the evolution of our simulation model architecture and flight dynamics models to maximize simulation fidelity. You will analyze flight test data for system identification, build programs to replicate product–environment interactions, and mentor team members in model development best practices.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and refine flight dynamics models to improve simulation accuracy and performance.
• Analyze flight test data to perform system identification and validate model behavior.
• Define and evolve the overall model architecture within the simulation environment.
• Coach and mentor team members working alongside you on model development.
• Investigate and resolve engineering challenges related to simulation performance and model fidelity.
• Build and maintain simulation programs to replicate product–environment interactions without real-world testing.
• Develop models primarily in MATLAB/Simulink, with integration of C++ where required.
• Collaborate closely with the Flight control team and program engineering teams to support simulation-related needs across projects.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
• 6+ years of experience in dynamic systems modeling and aircraft simulation.
• Proven experience in dynamic systems modeling and aircraft simulation.
• Strong proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink.
• Expertise in data analysis and system identification.
• Demonstrated contribution to projects that reached a tested or operational stage.
• Excellent communication skills in English (German is a plus).
