aerodynamics engineer

Aerodynamics engineers perform aerodynamics analysis to make sure the designs of transport equipment meet aerodynamics and performance requirements. They contribute to designing engine and engine components, and issue technical reports for the engineering staff and customers. They coordinate with other engineering departments to check that designs perform as specified. Aerodynamics engineers conduct research to assess adaptability of equipment and materials.

The most in-demand skills for this role include computer simulation, operation of different engines, engineering principles, mathematics, technical drawings, physics. These are the skills O*NET identifies as most important for competent performance.

Our AI-durability model gives aerodynamics engineer a score of 0.50 on a 0-1 scale (higher = more exposure). That places it at moderate AI exposure — some tasks are being automated but the role adapts. Learning to work with AI tools rather than against them is the path forward.
