Job description

Senior Loads and Aeroelastics Engineer

Location: Lindsay, Ontario, Canada (Hybrid)
Employment Type: Full-time
Salary Range: CAD 165,000 – 210,000 gross/year

About the Role

A senior-level Loads and Aeroelastics Engineer is sought to lead the analysis and validation of structural loads and aeroelastic behaviour for advanced hybrid eVTOL aircraft.

This role is critical to ensuring structural integrity, flight safety, and certification compliance across the full operational envelope. You will analyze aerodynamic and inertial forces under a wide range of flight and ground conditions, directly supporting aircraft design, control integration, and regulatory approval. Working in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, you will influence both technical decisions and engineering processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform static and dynamic loads analysis across all flight phases, including takeoff, landing, transition, hover, and ground operations
• Develop, validate, and maintain aeroelastic models to assess flutter, divergence, and control surface effectiveness
• Generate loads spectra and load envelopes to support structural sizing, fatigue, and durability analysis
• Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, flight controls, and structural engineering teams to ensure accurate loads definition and feedback integration
• Support control law design and tuning with aeroelastic stability considerations
• Conduct sensitivity studies, load alleviation analyses, and correlation with flight test and simulation data
• Act as a technical integrator between engineering disciplines and project management
• Apply and enforce applicable standards, specifications, and regulatory requirements
• Drive rigor, resilience, and continuous improvement in engineering design and analysis methods
• Stay current with advances in loads, aeroelasticity, and aerospace engineering practices
• Contribute to continuous process improvements that enhance safety, efficiency, and delivery performance

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in loads, aeroelasticity, or related engineering roles within aerospace or automotive environments
• Proven experience across multiple phases of the product lifecycle (concept, development, testing, certification)
• Strong background in structural loads analysis and aeroelastic modelling techniques
• Hands-on experience with systems engineering principles is an advantage
• Familiarity with eVTOL certification frameworks (TCCA, FAA, EASA) is highly desirable
• Excellent analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills
• Ability to work effectively in complex, fast-moving, multidisciplinary engineering teams

Whats Offered

• Competitive senior-level compensation package
• No fixed holiday cap
• Competitive group benefits plan
• Company stock purchase program
• Hybrid work options
• Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge aerospace and eVTOL programs
