Aerodynamics Engineer

KRUSH Tech Inc
Austin, TX Full Time
POSTED ON 7/24/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/23/2026

KRUSH Tech is a new technology company building advanced hardware solutions for defense, aerospace, communications, and autonomous systems. We're launching our U.S. operations from the ground up — and this is a rare opportunity to join at the very beginning and help shape the company from day one.

At KRUSH Tech, we combine the agility of a startup with the ambition to tackle some of the industry's most demanding engineering challenges. Our teams work across disciplines—including RF, embedded systems, electronics, mechanical engineering, software, manufacturing, and supply chain—to transform innovative ideas into reliable, production-ready solutions. We are building a next-generation, vertically integrated aerospace organization focused on advanced uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), autonomy, sensing technologies, and scalable manufacturing — for the U.S. market and strategic partners.

As a Senior Aerodynamics Engineer, you will lead the aerodynamic design, analysis, and optimization of advanced UAV platforms from concept development through flight validation. You will be responsible for predicting and improving aircraft performance using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), analytical methods, and experimental data while collaborating closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

This role combines deep technical expertise with hands-on engineering and requires a strong understanding of aerodynamics, aircraft performance, simulation methods, and multiphysics analysis. You will play a key role in shaping vehicle performance, stability, efficiency, and manufacturability across the product lifecycle.

Job Responsibilities
  • Perform aerodynamic analysis and CFD simulations to evaluate airflow, lift, drag, stability, control characteristics, pressure distributions, and aerodynamic loads across a range of flight conditions.
  • Develop, validate, and optimize aerodynamic models to improve aircraft performance, efficiency, and overall vehicle design using analytical methods, CFD, and multiphysics simulations.
  • Prepare and optimize CAD models for computational analysis, conduct multidisciplinary simulations, and develop automated analysis workflows to improve engineering efficiency.
  • Support aerodynamic validation through flight testing, wind tunnel testing, and experimental data correlation, performing verification and validation (V&V) of simulation results.
  • Prepare technical reports, engineering documentation, and design recommendations to support product development from concept through production.
  • Optimize airframe geometry to improve aerodynamic efficiency, endurance, maneuverability, and overall mission performance.
  • Identify discrepancies between predicted and measured performance and implement model improvements.
  • Support configuration studies for prototype and production aircraft.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to support aircraft design, propulsion integration, flight controls, manufacturing, and system-level engineering decisions.
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
  • Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering or Aerodynamics is preferred.
  • 4 years of professional experience in aerodynamic analysis, CFD, or aircraft performance engineering.
  • Demonstrated experience applying CFD and analytical methods to solve complex aerospace engineering problems.
  • Strong understanding of aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, aircraft performance, and flight physics.
  • Experience performing CFD analyses and interpreting simulation results.
  • Ability to prepare and optimize CAD geometry for computational analysis.
  • Experience with multidisciplinary simulation involving aerodynamic, structural, and thermal interactions.
  • Knowledge of moving-body aerodynamics, rotating components, and propulsion-airframe interactions.
  • Experience with PDM/PLM systems and engineering configuration management.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical communication skills.

Nice-To-Have
  • Experience developing UAV, eVTOL, or aerospace platforms.
  • Experience with rotorcraft, propeller aerodynamics, or multirotor vehicle design.
  • Familiarity with wind tunnel testing and aerodynamic instrumentation.
  • Experience developing automated simulation workflows using Python or MATLAB.
  • Experience with optimization methods, design space exploration, and parametric studies.
  • Familiarity with defense or aerospace certification and verification processes.
  • Health Care Plan
  • Retirement Plan
  • Paid Time Off
  • Family Leave
  • Free Food & Snacks
