Loads and Dynamics Engineer, Air Vehicles

The role

This person will develop structural loads analysis for air vehicles and systems. They will also generate integrated dynamics FEMs and conduct aeroelastic and flutter studies.

What you will do

• Develop structural loads analysis for multiple air vehicles and systems
• Generate and maintain integrated dynamics FEMs
• Conduct aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic studies
• Conduct flutter analysis
• Generate flight loads data in accordance with MIL and FAR specifications
• Collaborate with design engineers to develop structural optimization strategies
• Prepare detailed technical reports and present findings
• Develop and perform dynamics testing
• Define instrumentation and perform data processing for flight loads data acquisition

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus in structures
• 5+ years of experience in a structures, dynamics or loads related role
• Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, solid mechanics, materials science, finite element analysis and dynamic testing
• Proficiency in the use of FEMAP, Nastran or similar
• Proficiency in Matlab, Python, or similar
• Self-directed, results oriented, and capable of working in a dynamic environment
• Excellent time management, organizational, and communication skills
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Nice to have

• A prior focus on an aircraft flight loads, aeroelastic or flutter analysis (including transonic, supersonic or hypersonic flight), ground loads, or noise and vibration
• Ability to develop workflow automation tools
• Familiarity developing loads or structural compliance for JSSG-2006, FAR 23, 25, or similar
• Structural or dynamics testing experience (system identification, sine, random, shock, flight) – sensor selection, data acquisition, data post-processing

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees

Before you apply

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
