You will be part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating closely with aerodynamics, flight dynamics, flutter, and structural engineering teams.

Duties :

  • Lead loads analysis and modeling for aircraft vehicles, including static and dynamic load

cases across all flight phases (hover, transition, forward flight, ground operations, etc.).

  • Define load requirements in collaboration with aerodynamics, propulsion, and
  • structural teams to ensure compliance with design and safety goals.

  • Conduct detailed structural and fatigue load calculations to predict operational
  • conditions, ensuring aircraft integrity.

  • Support aircraft configuration design by providing critical insights into load distribution
  • and structural requirements.

  • industry best practices.

  • Collaborate with control system and flight dynamics engineers to optimize control
  • surface and actuation system designs for load management.

  • Participate in ground and flight testing, ensuring that measured loads align with design

  • Proven experience in complete aircraft load analysis for unique vehicles, especially
  • eVTOL or rotorcraft.

  • In-depth knowledge of FAA certification processes related to structural loads.
  • Familiarity with aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic phenomena in rotorcraft or eVTOL
  • applications.

  • Excellent leadership skills, with a proven ability to collaborate in cross-functional
  • teams.

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex load analysis findings
  • to diverse technical stakeholders
