Junior Flight Dynamics Modelling Engineer

In this role you will develop and validate end-to-end flight dynamics models to support rapid evaluation of AI-based and control capabilities. You’ll work in a compact team, integrating numerical methods, simulations, and test data to produce faithful representations of real-world behavior. You will collaborate across Control Systems, Aerodynamics, and Flight Testing to ensure model coherence and drive improvements through flight campaigns. The position offers exposure to real-time testing environments and a mission-driven focus on advancing flight dynamics modelling.
