Aerodynamics Engineer

What you’ll do

• Collaborate with the design team to define and iterate aerodynamic surfaces and OML using CAD software.
• Run low-fidelity Vortex Lattice Method based tools for quick assessments and lifting surfaces sizing.
• Own the end-to-end CFD pipeline including geometry clean up, meshing, solving and post processing
• Generate and maintain aerodynamic databases for: Aircraft loads, performance and stability
• Post-process aerodynamic data from multiple computational and experimental sources to build surrogate models and interpolate data for use in flight dynamics simulations.
• Contribute to toolchain development, improving internal scripts and workflows.
• Write clear technical documentation and maintain clean, versioned aero data libraries.

What we're looking for

• Solid understanding of aerodynamics, aircraft performance, and stability/control theory.
• Hands-on experience with 3D CAD modeling of aerodynamic surfaces (e.g. wings, nacelles, ducts, empennage).
• Proficiency in CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, SU2) and associated meshing & post-processing workflows.
• Experience with low-fidelity aero tools (AVL, VSPAero, XFOIL) and CFD automation using Python/MATLAB and shell scripting.
• Strong data handling skills – able to work with large datasets and convert them into useful engineering models.
• Exposure to blown wing / high-lift aerodynamics and wind tunnel testing.

Why LAT?

• Core team opportunity at a high-conviction deep-tech startup
• Real aircraft, real flying hardware, real impact
• Build the future of sustainable aviation in India
