Job Title: Loads and Dynamics Engineer

Aurora Flight Sciences, a Boeing Company, is seeking a talented and self-motivated Loads and Dynamics Engineer to join our team.

Job Summary:

We are looking for a skilled engineer to develop and interpret aeroelastic loads and stability, perform sensitivity studies and trades studies, and develop loads plans and required testing to meet certification requirements.

Responsibilities:
  • Develop and/or interpret aeroelastic loads and stability based on aerodynamic and dynamic analysis.
  • Perform sensitivity studies and trades studies to guide aeroelastic design constraints.
  • Develop loads plans, loads cases, and required testing to meet certification requirements.
  • Develop and implement models and tools to generate aeroelastic analysis.
  • Synthesize results to obtain critical load cases and stability boundaries.
  • Validate loads/flutter via experimental data correlation.
Requirements:
  • B.S. in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or other relevant discipline.
  • 12 years of working experience or graduate degree including loads or flutter analysis.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Solid understanding of aircraft loads and aeroelasticity (fundamentals in aerodynamics, rigid body dynamics, statics, & dynamics).
  • Experience with aerodynamic modeling (such as vortex/doublet lattice methods, CFD, etc.) and/or finite element analysis (FEA).
  • Experience with analysis tools such as MATLAB, Python, and Excel.
  • Experience with experimental testing and model validation work.
  • Must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident.
Preferred Requirements:
  • Masters or PhD in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related degree.
  • 25 years' experience in loads and dynamics engineering.
  • Experience with FEA and/or multibody dynamics tools (e.g., NASTRAN, Matlab/Simulink, ADAMS, LS-DYNA, ANSYS).
  • Track record of developing aeroelastic analysis for different aircraft configurations in multiple phases of development.
  • Proficiency with programming (Python preferred).
  • Experience with aircraft certification guidelines (FAA, Mil-Spec, EASA) and deriving load cases and aeroelastic requirements from them, including experimental and prototype program work.
  • Experience with CAD (e.g., CATIA, NX).
  • Experience with loads and flutter testing to validate models and results.
  • Experience in validation of analysis results against other sources, such as testing.
Physical Requirements:
  • Must be able to support some travel.
Salary Range:

$68,000.00 to $120,000.00 (Minimum Range) and $84,000.00 to $150,000.00 (Maximum Range).
