About the role

Virgin Galactic is seeking a Senior Aerodynamics and Flight Simulation Engineer to own 6DOF flight dynamics modeling, trajectory simulation, and stability & control analysis. You will lead MATLAB-based tooling and collaborate across aero/thermal, loads, and flight test teams to predict vehicle behavior and support safety assessments. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining trajectory tools, Monte Carlo simulations, aerodynamic models, and simulation architecture.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
