Aerodynamics Engineer

Hands-on experience running CFD across subsonic through transonic regimes and turning it into aero databases that flight dynamics and FCS teams actually use.

Working command of compressible aerodynamics — shock formation, wave drag, control surface authority — solid enough to explain why the vehicle behaves differently at Mach 0.85 than at Mach 0.6.

Experience reducing flight test telemetry and using it to calibrate or correct CFD, empirical, and wind tunnel models.

Willingness to deploy to ground test facilities and flight test sites — this isn't a desk-only aero role.

Proficiency with industry-standard CFD solvers and grid generation tools.

Advanced proficiency in programming or working with AI to produce data reduction, automation, and database generation.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical, or Mechanical Engineering.

3+ years of direct experience in aerodynamic design, CFD, and flight testing within defense, UAV, or tactical aircraft programs.

Wind tunnel test experience, including correlating physical test data against CFD predictions.

Enough GNC or flight control systems background to work aero-controls trades directly with that team.

Air data system or flight test instrumentation experience.

Comfort iterating OML and control surface geometry directly with a rapid-prototyping or fast-build team.

No defence background required.

We've hired people who didn't tick every box. If this is the work you want to do, please apply anyway.

Building something meaningful starts with the right people.

At Dominion Dynamics, you’ll:

Shape Canada’s future by building real defence capability for the CAF and our allies.

Make decisions that ship in a high-trust environment with short feedback loops and rapid iteration.

Move fast, field faster, and work directly with the operator — our systems are in the field with the CAF now.

Have an impact from day one with equity, responsibility, and direct access to leadership.

If you’re curious, hands-on, and driven by the opportunity to make a difference, this is where you belong!
