Our project has been operating discretely since 2017, working towards our goal of changing the world of logistics and mobility via future technology aerospace vehicle solutions.
We are currently searching for a Senior Aircraft Loads Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will spearhead deriving and analyzing loads for our aircraft for aerodynamics, maneuver, and ground loads. This role will be critical for our vehicle development program in what is a highly innovative and intricate project. You will have the rare opportunity to engage in the full life cycle of vehicle development—from conceptualization and prototyping right through to certification—you will be at the forefront of shaping the future of aerospace technology. Our project is incredibly unique and cutting-edge, and we need the best of the best to make it happen.
If you are motivated by impact and making a difference while working with some of the best minds in the industry, this may be the role for you.
Key Responsibilities:
* Responsible for all aspects of aircraft loads (deriving aircraft flight maneuver, gust/turbulence, ground and VTOL loads from first principles, compilation of load cases as per certification requirements, building tools using Python/Matlab, validation of the tools).
* Focal point for all aircraft loads related queries.
* Ability to apply theory to modify conventional aircraft loads to non-conventional configurations and validate the output.
* Practical demonstrable experience using Python. Knowledge of CS requirements.
* Strong competence with hand calculations and free body diagrams.
* Familiar with the whole life cycle of loads starting from the derivation of aircraft loads to generating load outputs that can be applied to FE models for structural sizing.
* Understanding and experience of performing Aeroelasticity analysis (flutter, divergence, etc.).
* Working closely with different teams including Flight Physics, Systems, Flight Test, and Structures to ensure the structure is optimized for loads, weight, stiffness, and regulatory requirements.
* Perform hand calculations using classical methods as well as FEA to assess primary and secondary structures (metallic and composites).
Qualifications:
* Master's degree in a relevant area (Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other relevant field) with a minimum of 5 years of experience in the relevant field. Alternatively, a relevant PhD with at least a couple of years of relevant industry experience.
* Programming, automation, scripting (Python, Matlab, or similar).
* FEA software experience (Any: Altair Optistruct / Radioss, Nastran, Abaqus, Ansys).
* Strong knowledge of Aerospace regulations, standards, and methodologies for loads derivations and structural analysis.
* Tools development and validation.
* Excellent interpersonal skills. Excellent written and oral communication skills (technical report writing, giving presentations in design reviews, engaging with suppliers and other stakeholders).
* Able to work on own initiative as well as part of a small team.
What will set you apart:
* Fatigue and Damage Tolerance experience (generating fatigue spectrums and performing detailed fatigue analyses).
* Experience with Gitlab.
* Machine learning / Artificial Intelligence.
At SkyBridge, we want all of our employees to feel comfortable bringing their passion, creativity, and individuality to work. We value all cultures, backgrounds, and experiences, as we truly believe that diversity drives innovation.
