Job description
We're Hiring: Aerodynamics Engineer Full-Time | Core Team LAT Aerospace | Aircraft
LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines. 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
- Design and iterate aerodynamic surfaces and OMLs using CAD.
- Own the CFD workflow including geometry generation, meshing, solving, automation, and post-processing.
- Develop and maintain aerodynamic databases for aircraft performance, loads, and stability.
- Process computational and experimental data to develop surrogate models for aircraft design and flight dynamics.
- Support aerodynamic analysis of high-lift, blown-wing, and propulsion–airframe interactions.
- Develop and improve internal aerodynamic tools, scripts, and workflows.
- Document analyses and maintain robust, version-controlled aerodynamic datasets.
What we're looking for
- 4+ years of professional experience in external steady and unsteady aerodynamics simulations
- Strong fundamentals in aerodynamics, aircraft performance, and stability & control.
- Software agnostic in low fidelity and high fidelity simulations
- Strong Python/MATLAB skills for CFD automation, data processing, and engineering analysis.
- Experience building and working with aerodynamic databases and large datasets.
- Experience with high-lift, blown-wing, UAV, or other unconventional aircraft aerodynamics is highly preferred.
Why LAT?
- No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
- Rapid hardware iteration culture.
- Own the complete journey from engineering design to flight-ready hardware.
Why work at LAT Aerospace Private
- Build from Scratch: Opportunity to work on ambitious, first-principles aerospace engineering across aircraft, engines, and autonomy – with rapid prototyping and flight testing.
- Culture & Mission: Focus on solving hard problems for India, with a flat structure and ownership. The founders emphasize "build, break, and repeat" and seek engineers who want to "rewrite history." lat.com/careers
- Work Location & Policy: Roles are based in Bangalore, India (on-site). The nature of hardware/aircraft development requires physical presence in workshops, labs, and test sites.
- Team & Growth: 39 employees with strong technical depth; high growth trajectory (1416% YoY). Access to cutting-edge aerospace R&D.
- Perks: Not explicitly detailed, but the environment is suited for engineers and scientists passionate about aerospace, propulsion, and defence independence.
