Structural Dynamics Technical Expert, Engineering

In your role, you will

• Work within the Loads and Dynamics group of Technical Engineering
• Perform aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic simulations in support of new aircraft design studies and continued airworthiness of in-service aircraft
• Perform dynamic aeroelastic response analyses for tuned discrete gust and continuous turbulence with and without the effects from fly-by-wire
• Contribute to growing the Dynamics engineering Knowledge Domain by proposing the approaches and techniques to improve the efficiency and fidelity of aircraft aeroelastic simulations.
• Use engineering judgment on selecting the appropriate methods, techniques, and tools in resolving complex issues
• Develop and maintain finite element models to perform aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic analysis
• Participate in the research and development of computational aeroelasticity and support to ground and flight testing
• Integrate activities with other groups, such as Advanced Design, Aerodynamics, Structures, Mass Properties, Flight Controls and Control Laws
• Participate in aeroelastic analysis, ground vibration testing, flight flutter testing, wind tunnel testing and report writing to support compliance with certification requirements specified in 14 CFR 25.629 / AWM 525.629 / CS 25.629  

As our ideal candidate

• You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. A high education would be an asset
• You have at least 15 years of experience in Loads and Dynamics in the aerospace industry
• You have a good understanding of FAR 25 certification requirements
• You have previous experience in flight flutter testing and ground vibration testing
• You have a strong background in static and dynamic aeroelastic analysis
• You have previous experience using MSC Nastran for Dynamic/Aeroelastic analysis; DMAP is an asset
