Aerodynamics Testing Engineer

Job description

About Us Harmattan AI is a next-generation defense prime building autonomous and scalable defense systems. Following the close of a $200M Series B, valuing the company at $1.4 billion, we are expanding our teams and capabilities to deliver mission-critical systems to allied forces. Our work is guided by clear values: building technologies with real-world impact, pursuing excellence in everything we do, setting ambitious goals, and taking on the hardest technical challenges. We operate in a demanding environment where rigor, ownership, and execution are expected. As an Aerodynamics Testing Engineer at Harmattan, you will bridge the gap between theoretical simulations and physical reality. You will be responsible for validating the flight physics of our next-generation UAV platforms—ranging from long-endurance fixed-wing aircraft to high-speed eVTOLs. Your mission is to design, execute, and analyze experimental campaigns that ensure our aircraft are efficient, stable, and safe. You will utilise rapid prototyping techniques to transform aerodynamic concepts into flight-ready prototypes and ground testing mock-ups, closing the loop between CFD predictions and real-world performance.
