• Analyze complex Aircraft Loads problems and organize technical reviews to resolve complex investigations
• Contribute to growing the Loads engineering Knowledge Domain by proposing the approaches and techniques to improve the efficiency and fidelity of aircraft loads simulations
• 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

How to thrive in this role?

• You hold a Bachelor\'s or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (advanced education is considered an asset)
• You have a minimum of 10 years of experience in external loads analyses in the aerospace industry
• You have a strong understanding of the FAR 25 certification requirements and regulatory standards
• You have a deep expertise in static and dynamic aeroelastic loads analysis
• You have a proven ability to develop finite element models (FEM), compute airframe and component design loads (e.g., high lift and control surfaces) and perform flutter and aeroservoelastic analyses
• You have hands-on experience with Nastran for dynamic and aeroelastic analysis; familiarity with DMAP is a plus
• You have solid knowledge of FEM principles, unsteady aerodynamics, and frequency-based data analysis
• You have familiarity with linearization of controls laws for use in TDG, PSD gust, and aeroservoelastic simulations
• You have a strong understanding of engine fan blade-out and windmilling dynamic loads analysis
• You have experience working in flight test environments, including data collection and correlation between test results and analytical predictions
• You have good knowledge of flight test instrumentation (e.g., strain gauges, accelerometers, pressure sensors)
• You have advanced programming skills in MATLAB, Python, Fortran, C/C++, and scripting in Linux/Windows environments
• You have excellent organizational skills with the ability to plan and execute tasks within budget and schedule
