Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer (m/f/x) – Stability and Control

The Role

We are looking for a Senior Flight Dynamics Engineer to perform stability and control analysis, develop and validate aircraft models, perform handling-qualities analysis, and support flight control development across simulation and test. You will work at the intersection of aerodynamics, performance, loads, flight controls, systems, flight test and certification.

This role suits engineers with a strong flight mechanics foundation, whether your background is in civil certification, military flight test, simulation development, or flight control support. What matters is that you understand how an aircraft behaves and can model, analyze and improve it.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct stability and control analyses and assessments (MIL-STD/ADS-33/CS-25/CS-23 considerations as applicable).

• Prepare and deliver technical artefacts for certification and verification: analysis reports and support for flight tests.

• Develop, implement and maintain high-fidelity 6-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) simulation models for flight dynamics evaluations of fixed-wing aircraft.

• Produce recommendations and design solutions.

• Validate aerodynamic models (database generation/processing) from CFD, wind tunnel and flight test data.

Experience & Qualifications

• MSc (or equivalent) in Aerospace, Aeronautical, or Mechanical Engineering.

• 5 to 10+ years of professional experience in flight mechanics, including certification work (CS-23/CS-25; military standards is a plus).

• Proven experience in aircraft stability and control and handling-qualities assessment throughout handbook methods, simulation and flight testing.

• Experience building and validating aircraft simulation models and processing aerodynamic data.

• Experience supporting Fly-By-Wire (FBW) or flight-control system development.

• Strong programming skills in MATLAB/Simulink and Python.

• Excellent English communication and presentation skills for engaging with technical teams and certification authorities.

• Experience with military aircraft (design, flight testing, or handling qualities).
