Quantum-Systems is a strong supporter of Ukraine and has it’s local Ukrainian office since 2022.

This role is for you if you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges; you are passionate about aerodynamics, structural mechanics, and simulation-driven design; you appreciate precision and systematic thinking; and you want to help shape innovative solutions in aerospace and UAV technologies.

This is a full-time office job. Candidates must be located in Kyiv.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

1. Simulation & Engineering Analysis

• Prepare 3D models and perform preprocessing in ANSYS SpaceClaim.

• Conduct aerodynamic simulations using ANSYS Fluent or CFX, including turbulence modeling and calculation of flight parameters.

• Perform structural strength calculations in ANSYS Static Structural for components made of plastics for 3D printing, aluminum alloys, and other materials.

• Carry out composite structure analysis using ANSYS ACP and apply best practices in composite manufacturing.

• Optimize structures for weight, strength, and manufacturability.

2. Design Improvement & Engineering Support

• Analyze existing structures and propose design improvements.

• Participate in design discussions and collaborate closely with the engineering and production teams.

• Ensure that simulation outcomes are integrated into the final design.

3. Documentation & Collaboration

• Maintain and update technical documentation: models, reports, specifications, and requirements.

• Support cross-functional teams with technical insights to ensure design feasibility and compliance.

What you bring to the team:

• Higher technical education (aerospace, mechanical, or aeronautical engineering).

• Practical experience with: ANSYS SpaceClaim, ANSYS Fluent / CFX, ANSYS Static Structural, ANSYS ACP

• Strong understanding of turbulence models, aerodynamics, and engineering mechanics.
