Responsibilities

- Act as an Aircraft Loads Applications Lead, elaborating mid- to long-term plans and coordinating execution with technical leadership, mentoring, and training to a team of Aircraft Loads Professionals.
- Analyze complex Aircraft Loads problems and organize technical reviews to resolve investigations.
- Contribute to growing the Loads engineering Knowledge Domain by proposing approaches and techniques to improve the efficiency and fidelity of aircraft loads simulations.
- Use engineering judgment to select 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 and component design loads (high lift and control surface).
- Perform energetic 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

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (advanced education is considered an asset).
- Minimum 10 years of experience in external loads analyses in the aerospace industry.




- Strong understanding of the FAR 25 certification requirements and regulatory standards.
- Deep expertise in static and dynamic aeroelastic loads analysis.
- Proven ability to develop finite element models (FEM), compute airframe and component design loads, and perform flutter and aeroservoelastic analyses.
- Hands‑on experience with Nastran for dynamic and aeroelastic analysis; familiarity with DMAP is a plus.
- Solid knowledge of FEM principles, unsteady aerodynamics, and frequency‑based data analysis.
- Familiarity with linearization of control laws for use in TDG, PSD gust, and aeroservoelastic simulations.
- Strong understanding of engine fan blade‑out and windmilling dynamic loads analysis.
- Experience working in flight test environments, including data collection and correlation between test results and analytical predictions.
- Good knowledge of flight test instrumentation (e.g., strain gauges, accelerometers, pressure sensors).
- Advanced programming skills in MATLAB, Python, Fortran, C/C++, and scripting in Linux/Windows environments.
- Excellent organizational skills with the ability to plan and execute tasks within budget and schedule.
- Strong analytical thinking, problem‑solving abilities, and effective communication skills (written and verbal).
- Ability to perform under pressure and manage multiple priorities.

Benefits

- Flexible and hybrid work policies.
- Competitive base salary.
- Insurance plans (Dental, medical, life insurance, disability, and more).
- Retirement savings plan.
- Employee Assistance Program.
- Tele Health Program.
