We're Hiring: Aerodynamics Engineer
Gurgaon | Full-Time | Core Team
LAT Aerospace | STOL Aircraft
At LAT Aerospace, we're building a clean-sheet Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) aircraft to transform regional air mobility in India. We're looking for an Aerodynamics Engineer to design and analyze aerodynamic surfaces across low-fidelity and high-fidelity tools, contribute to aircraft loads, performance, and stability databases, and help build the aero modeling pipeline that powers design decisions and flight simulation.
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
