Principal Aeroacoustics & Aerodynamics Engineer

Mag. Lev Aero is developing a new generation of rim-driven electric and hybrid ducted fan propulsion systems for advanced aviation. We are looking for an exceptional Aeroacoustics & Aerodynamics Engineer to help push the boundaries of aerodynamic performance, acoustic signature, efficiency, and electric propulsion. This is a highly technical, hands-on role for someone who wants to solve difficult, multidisciplinary aerospace problems rather than incrementally improve established designs.

Lead aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analysis and optimization of Mag. Lev Aero’s rim-driven electric and hybrid ducted fan systems. Model and predict fan, rotor, duct, and integrated propulsion-system aerodynamic and acoustic performance. Develop designs that simultaneously optimize thrust, efficiency, noise, weight, and overall system performance.

Apply CFD, computational aeroacoustics, reduced-order modeling, optimization, and other advanced simulation methods. Work with MAGGIE, Mag. Lev Aero’s Multiphysics Aerospace Generative Graphical Inference Engine, and advanced AI tools to accelerate design exploration and optimization. Develop and improve physics-based and data-driven models used within Mag.

Lev’s multidisciplinary design environment. Correlate analytical and computational models with experimental and test data. Define test requirements and work with engineering teams to validate aerodynamic and acoustic performance. Collaborate closely with propulsion, electrical, mechanical, controls, motor, thermal, and systems engineers.

Identify unconventional technical approaches and translate them into designs that can be built, tested, and ultimately commercialized. Serve as a technical authority in aerodynamics and aeroacoustics as Mag. Lev advances its propulsion technology toward flight applications. Advanced degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Acoustics, or a closely related field.

PhD strongly preferred. Deep expertise in aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, ideally involving propellers, fans, rotors, turbomachinery, ducted fans, eVTOL, or advanced propulsion systems. Strong background in CFD and computational modeling of complex aerodynamic systems. Experience predicting, analyzing, and reducing tonal and broadband aerodynamic noise.

Understanding of rotor-stator interactions, blade aerodynamics, duct acoustics, flow-induced noise, and propulsion-system integration. Experience connecting simulation with physical testing and experimental data. Strong programming, numerical modeling, and engineering-analysis capabilities. Interest in applying AI, machine learning, optimization, and generative engineering methods to aerospace design.

Ability to operate independently and take technical ownership from initial concept through analysis, testing, and design iteration. All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
