## 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.

## About LAT Aerospace Private

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: LAT Aerospace is building short take-off and landing (STOL) hybrid-electric aircraft, gas turbine engines, and defence autonomy systems to enable regional air mobility and indigenous aerospace sovereignty for India.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Angel stage)
- **Headquarters**: Delhi, India
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Deepinder Goyal and Surobhi Das

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Aerospace & Defence (Aviation, Propulsion, Autonomy)
- **Target customers**: Government (defence), regional airlines, logistics operators, and potentially commercial passengers for short-haul routes (B2B, B2G)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Redefining the future of aerospace" by building three integrated programs – aircraft, propulsion, and defence – to create capabilities India should own itself. [lat.com](https://www.lat.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Aircraft – 8-Seater Hybrid-Electric STOL**: A fixed-wing, blown-wing aircraft designed for ultra-short take-off and landing from compact "air-stops" (parking-lot-sized strips). Hybrid-electric propulsion for efficiency and reduced infrastructure needs. [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)
- **Gas Turbine Engine (GTE)**: In-house development of world-class gas turbine engines for both aircraft and defence applications. Focus on compressors, turbines, combustion, rotor dynamics, and digital engine control (FADEC). [lat.com/careers](https://www.lat.com/careers)
- **Defence & Autonomy Systems**: Building indigenous perception, navigation, and decision systems for unmanned and autonomous platforms. Includes the acquisition of Sharang Shakti (defence robotics startup). [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available.
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $20M raised in a single Angel round (April 2025, led by Deepinder Goyal). [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/lat-aerospace/__FWwQ7zsT1zhy7hqcoBHbS5jW1uB0494RFZXe_6FNBho)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Deepinder Goyal (seed investor, also co-founder). Acquired Sharang Shakti (Gurgaon-based defence robotics startup) in February 2026. [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 1416.7% YoY to 39 employees; active job postings up 66.7% YoY. Successful flight test of tech demonstrator "Lat One v0.2" (July 2025). Engineering team sourced from top Indian universities and startups (e.g., Zomato, AgniKul Cosmos, Tata Advanced Systems).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Integrated Approach**: Combining aircraft design, in-house gas turbine propulsion, and autonomy/defence systems – a rare vertical integration in the Indian aerospace landscape.
- **STOL & Infrastructure-Light Model**: Aircraft that take off and land in parking-lot-sized strips, bypassing the need for expensive airport infrastructure, making regional air mobility economically viable.
- **Indigenous Focus**: Developing critical defence and propulsion technologies domestically, aligning with India's strategic sovereignty goals.
- **Founder & Team Pedigree**: Co-founded by Deepinder Goyal (Zomato) and Surobhi Das; engineering team includes talent from IITs, top aerospace companies, and competitive robotics teams.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale Aircraft Production**: Move from tech demonstrator (Lat One) to certification and production of the 8-seater STOL aircraft.
- **Gas Turbine Engine Maturation**: Complete development of a fully indigenous gas turbine engine for both aircraft and defence use.
- **Defence Integration**: Expand autonomy capabilities via acquisition of Sharang Shakti and ongoing systems development for Indian defence needs.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Active hiring in aerospace engineering (aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, controls) and defence systems (perception, autonomy, embedded). [jobs.ashbyhq.com/lat](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/lat)

## Why Work Here
- **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](https://www.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.
