We are seeking an exceptional Aerodynamics Engineer to contribute to the design and analysis of our high super sonic vehicles. As an Aerodynamics Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the development of advanced aerodynamic solutions, ensuring optimal performance, stability, and efficiency during high-speed flight. Join our dynamic team and be part of the journey to create groundbreaking aerospace solutions at an iterative pace not seen since the 60's.
Responsibilities:
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop and refine aerodynamic designs for supersonic to hypersonic vehicles.
- Conduct computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and analyses to assess aerodynamic performance and behavior.
- Design, optimize, and evaluate vehicle configurations for high-speed flight and hypersonic travel.
- Contribute to wind tunnel testing and experimental data analysis to validate CFD predictions.
- Participate in the development and implementation of innovative aerodynamic solutions.
- Work closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure integrated vehicle design and performance.
Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
- 2+ years of relevant experience in aerodynamics and aerospace engineering.
- Proficiency in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and tools.
- Strong understanding of aerodynamics principles and concepts.
- Familiarity with aerodynamic design and analysis techniques for high-speed flight.
- Solid programming skills (Python, MATLAB, etc.) for data analysis and modeling.
- Effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Knowledge of wind tunnel testing and experimental data analysis.
- Previous experience in experimental programs.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
