Senior Loads Engineer, Omen
The Senior Loads Engineer joins the Omen team to manage structural loads, dynamics, and aeroelasticity analysis for a hover-to-cruise autonomous air vehicle. This role involves ensuring structural integrity and dynamic stability from concept through production, specifically addressing challenges of a tail-sitter platform across VTOL, transition, and forward flight modes. Key responsibilities include developing structural loads analysis, maintaining integrated dynamics FEMs, conducting aeroelastic and flutter studies, and generating flight loads data per MIL and FAR specifications. The candidate will perform dynamics testing, including vibration and modal testing, while collaborating on structural optimization. Required expertise includes statics, dynamics, solid mechanics, materials science, and finite element analysis. Proficiency in FEMAP/Nastran is required to support the development of this autonomous aircraft designed for operation across defense and civilian domains.
