Loads & Dynamics Engineer

Responsibilities

• Perform analyses and simulations to compute aircraft design loads, in support of new aircraft design studies and continued airworthiness of in-service aircraft
• Use a large range of commercial and in-house tools, including a six-degree of freedom aircraft simulator
• Use engineering judgment to perform Verification and Validation of analysis results
• Prepare and maintain finite element model for loads analysis
• Support and interact with other engineering disciplines such as Flight Characteristics, Structures, Mass Properties, Systems, Fly-By-Wire, Landing Gear and Flight Test
• Support aircraft landing gear development, analysis and test
• Support flight testing and post-process results
• Support in-service engineering to return aircraft to service
• Document analyses and findings in engineering certification reports and presentations (English)

• You have a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. A higher education would be an asset
• You have at least 8 years of experience in external loads analyses in the aerospace industry
• You have a good understanding of the FAR 25 certification requirements
• You have a strong background in static and dynamic aeroelastic loads analyses
• You can develop FEM models, compute airframe design loads and component design loads (high lift and control surface) or perform flutter and Aeroservoelastic analysis
• You have previous experience using Nastran for Dynamic/Aeroelastic analysis; DMAP is an asset
• You have a good understanding of FEM, unsteady aerodynamics, and frequency-based data analysis
• You have advanced programming knowledge in Matlab, Python, Fortran, C/C++, and Linux/Windows scripting
• You have good organizational skills in planning work activities and complete tasks within budget and on schedule
• You have good analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills (both written and verbal) and ability to work under pressure
