You will use tools like FEMAP/Nastran to ensure compliance with MIL and FAR specifications such as JSSG-2006 and FAR 23/25. Additionally, you’ll collaborate with design engineers on structural optimization strategies and define instrumentation for flight loads data acquisition. This role requires a deep understanding of statics, dynamics, solid mechanics, materials science, finite element analysis, and dynamic testing, along with at least eight years of relevant experience in structures or dynamics roles.

What you'll do

  • Develop structural loads analysis for air vehicles to ensure integrity under various conditions.
  • Generate and maintain integrated dynamics FEMs for use in loads derivation and other analyses.
  • Conduct aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic studies to predict aircraft behavior accurately.
  • Perform flutter analysis to inform vehicle design and ensure flight safety compliance.
  • Generate flight loads data according to MIL, FAR specifications, and relevant standards.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in structures, loads, or dynamics roles with high ownership and accountability
  • Deep understanding of statics, dynamics, solid mechanics, materials science, finite element analysis (FEA)
  • Proficiency in FEMAP/Nastran or similar software for structural analysis
  • Expertise in generating flight loads data per MIL and FAR specifications like JSSG-2006, FAR 23, 25
  • Conduct aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic studies to predict aircraft behavior under various conditions
