Smartlink Ukraine

Aero is an international team of engineers based in Ukraine. The company was founded in August 2026 and raised its first round of capital.

We're looking for an Aircraft Designer / Aerodynamics Engineer to join the core build team and own the aerodynamic and aero-structural design of an airframe — from CFD and stability analysis through to a flying prototype and first deployments.

What you'll do

• Design and iterate the BWB airframe geometry, balancing aerodynamic efficiency, stability/control, and shaping constraints.
• Run aerodynamic modeling and simulation (CFD, stability & control, performance envelope) to support design decisions.
• Work closely with the Head of Design on composite structure, control-surface actuation, and integration with propulsion and avionics.
• Iterate quickly across a batch-build, test-and-fly development cycle rather than a single "golden" prototype.

What we offer

• A decent stock option plan, but a modest salary for the first 6-9 months (the salary will be increased as soon as we accomplish the plan);
• Opportunity to create an aircraft with unique properties, drive the product development, and grow with us;
• Work in an international team that worked on world-famous products;
• Commitment to global security;
• A lot of work and fun in your new journey with us;
• Reservation from mobilization.

What we expect

• Proven experience and excellent knowledge of the domain;
• Team members learn Ukrainian, but English is still the main team language;
• A great and open-minded human being.
