Principal Systems Engineer - Aerodynamics, Abu Dhabi, UAE

This job is OPEN to APPLY for ALL Nationalities, unless otherwise specified.


Job Purpose

The Systems Engineer – Aerodynamics is responsible for the design, analysis, validation, and integration of aerodynamic solutions for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This role ensures that aerodynamic performance aligns with mission objectives, structural constraints, propulsion integration, and regulatory requirements. The engineer contributes to concept design, flight performance optimization, and multidisciplinary system-level trade studies that directly influence platform capabilities and survivability.

Key Responsibilities

Aerodynamic Analysis & Design

Perform aerodynamic modeling and analysis of airframes, control surfaces, intakes, exhausts, and payload fairings using both analytical and computational methods (including CFD).
Lead the generation and validation of aerodynamic databases for use in flight simulation, stability & control, and autopilot design.
Develop and refine airframe geometry to optimize lift, drag, stability, control authority, and aerodynamic efficiency across different flight regimes.
 

Systems Engineering & Integration

Translate aerodynamic performance requirements into system-level specifications and subsystem interfaces (e.g., propulsion, control, structures).
Support trade studies related to aerodynamic shaping, flight envelope definition, stability margins, and control system architecture.
Collaborate with structural, propulsion, flight controls, and systems engineering teams to ensure balanced design integration.
 

Simulation, Testing & Validation

Execute CFD simulations, wind tunnel correlation, and performance predictions to validate aerodynamic models.
Support the definition and execution of wind tunnel tests, flight tests, and aerodynamic load validation.
Analyze test results and refine models to improve fidelity and platform performance predictions.
 

Documentation & Compliance

Generate documentation including aerodynamic analysis reports, system-level performance documentation, and airworthiness compliance reports.
Ensure compliance with applicable aerospace standards such as CS-UAS, MIL-STD-1797, and internal EDGE/ADASI design standards.
Contribute to certification documentation, including flight test reports on e.g. stability & control, performance and flying qualities.
 

Collaboration & Technical Support

Provide aerodynamic input during program reviews such as SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and Formal Qualification Reviews.
Interface with internal design teams, external stakeholders, and regulatory bodies as needed.
Support design activities for manufacturability and maintainability from an aerodynamic perspective.
 

Qualifications & Experience

 

Educational Background

Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field with emphasis in Aerodynamics (REQUIRED)
Master’s Degree in Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics, or Computational Fluid Dynamics (PREFERRED)
 

Professional Experience

Minimum 10+ years of experience in aerodynamics within aerospace, UAV, or defense programs.
Experience in aerodynamic design, CFD analysis, and airframe development in UAVs, aircraft, or guided missile systems.
Exposure to aero-elasticity, static & dynamic stability, and aerodynamic loads is prerequisite.
 

Technical Skills

Proficient in:
CFD tools (ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or similar)
CAD and geometry preparation tools (e.g., CATIA, NX, SolidWorks)
Flight performance and stability analysis tools (MATLAB/Simulink, AVL, XFOIL, Athena Vortex Lattice, or in-house codes)
Demonstrated understanding of:
Subsonic and transonic flow behavior
Control surface sizing, effectiveness, and dynamic behavior
Wind tunnel testing techniques and instrumentation
Familiar with airworthiness and flight performance standards relevant to UAVs and defense systems
 

Soft Skills & Competencies

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Excellent written and verbal technical communication abilities
Capable of working across multidisciplinary engineering teams
Detail-oriented, with focus on safety, reliability, and performance optimization
Strategic thinker with awareness of mission-level design trade-offs
 

Preferred Certifications

INCOSE ASEP or CSEP – Advantageous
Certification in CFD or aerodynamic analysis from OEM or accredited provider – Preferred
AS9100D Quality Awareness – Preferred
 

Additional Requirements

Eligible for UAE defense/security clearance
Willingness to travel for wind tunnel tests, flight test campaigns, and supplier engagements
Fluent in English (Arabic is an advantage)
Willingness to relocate to the UAE

What is an ATS CV?

Applicant Tracking System or "ATS", is the software that 'READS' your CV and stores this information in a database. Like this:

Applicant Tracking System Correct Parsing

If the CV is not made as per the RULES of the ATS, the information will get messed up in the database. Like this:

Applicant Tracking System Incorrect Parsing

And, you may never be found by the recruiter, in spite of your 'CV information' existing in the database...

... And, you'll wonder why you get rejected in spite of being a PERFECT MATCH for the Job.

We've all heard we need to ”tweak the CV” to match the 'job vacancy’.

BUT, no one showed us how to actually do it.

Till Now!

Applying with a generic resumΓ©/CV, does not work, as the Applicant Tracking Software removes non-matching resumΓ©/CV's from the queue of candidates to call for an interview.

If you are willing 'TO DO WHAT IT TAKES' (Lionify!), then follow 'The Process' given below.

Else, close this website, continue doom-scrolling on your phone, and curse everything/everyone for your failure to find a good job.

You know you're talented and skilled, BUT, it takes effort to search and apply for jobs that will take you to the NEXT LEVEL.

Make up your MIND to FOLLOW The 4-step Process, where our deep expertise in crafting ATS-compliant resumes, and the POWER of AI will create the BEST ATS-friendly resumΓ©/CV.
