Job description

The Senior Engineer - Aeromechanical will lead aeromechanical activities for the integration of weapon systems onto aircraft platforms, covering mechanical interfaces, structural loads, vibration, aeroelasticity, and dynamic response. The role will take ownership of complex analyses, support design and integration reviews, and contribute to ground and flight test activities. It will also ensure compliance with applicable military standards, airworthiness requirements, and safety-critical engineering processes.

The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of aerospace or defense experience, with strong expertise in aircraft-weapon integration and relevant engineering analysis tools.

Responsibilities

• Aircraft-Weapon Aeromechanical Integration: Perform aeromechanical activities related to the integration of weapon systems onto aircraft platforms, including mechanical interfaces, carriage, and release environments.
• Mechanical Interface Definition: Define, assess, and verify mechanical interfaces between weapon systems, suspension equipment, and aircraft structures in accordance with integration requirements.
• Structural, Loads & Dynamic Analysis: Conduct or support aeromechanical analyses such as structural loads, vibration, aeroelastic and dynamic response to assess aircraft-weapon compatibility and integration impacts.
• Design & Integration Reviews: Contribute to and support aeromechanical aspects of design, integration, and readiness reviews by providing technical inputs, analysis results, and engineering justifications.
• Test & Verification Support: Support and execute aeromechanical test and verification activities, including ground and flight test preparation, instrumentation coordination, and data review related to weapon integration.
• Compliance & Airworthiness: Ensure aeromechanical integration activities comply with applicable military standards, airworthiness requirements, contractual obligations, and internal engineering procedures.
• Engineering Documentation & Traceability: Prepare, review, and maintain aeromechanical engineering documentation, calculations, reports, and compliance evidence with full traceability to requirements.
• Technical Issue Resolution: Identify, analyze, and support resolution of aeromechanical issues arising during design, integration, test, or operational phases.
• Cross-Functional Engineering Collaboration: Collaborate with systems, safety, test, manufacturing, and platform integration teams to ensure coherent and safe aircraft-weapon integration.
• Engineering Software & Analysis Tools: Apply approved engineering software tools (e.g. CAD tools such as Creo or SolidWorks, numerical tools such as MATLAB, and CFD tools)

Requirements

• Minimum 8+ years of experience in aeromechanical integration, including ownership of complex analyses, test support, and technical reviews.
• Bachelor’s degree in Aeronautical, Aerospace, or Mechanical Engineering, with academic or practical exposure to aeromechanical, flight dynamics, loads, vibration, or aeroelasticity.
• Working knowledge of safety-critical development processes (airborne / weapon systems)
• Knowledge of aircraft-weapon integration principles and aeromechanical interfaces
• Knowledge of structural loads, vibration, aeroelasticity, and dynamic response
• Knowledge of engineering analysis, data interpretation, and technical reporting
• Knowledge of engineering software tools (CAD, numerical analysis, CFD)
