• Use engineering judgment on selecting the appropriate methods, techniques, and tools in resolving complex issues
• Lead interface with other engineering disciplines such as Flight Characteristics, Structures, Mass Properties, Systems, Fly-By-Wire, Landing Gear and Flight Test
• Perform analyses and simulations to compute aircraft design loads, in support of new aircraft design studies and continued airworthiness of in-service aircraft
• Review FEM models to compute airframe design loads, component design loads (high lift and control surface)
• Perform dynamic aeroelastic response analyses for tuned discrete gust and continuous turbulence with and without the effects from fly-by-wire
• Define restrictions and special instructions for flight test procedures based on loads and dynamics analyses
• Provide Loads support for both flight test and in-service AOGs
• Document analyses and findings in engineering certification reports
• Support Aircraft Landing Gear development, analysis and test

Qualifications

• A Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (advanced education is considered an asset)
