Aircraft Loads

Job description

Key Skills for: Aircraft Loads Engineer

- aerospace industry experience, particularly in external loads analysis

- finite element models and analysis (e.g., Nastran)

- strong programming skills: C++, Fortran, MATLAB, and Python

- aircraft flight dynamics, aeroelastic phenomena (flutter, LCO), and unsteady aerodynamics

- dynamic system stability and frequency response calculations

- fly-by-wire systems and control law integration

Degree: Bachelor’s or Master’s (preferred) degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace specialization What are your contributions to the team? • Conduct simulations and analyses to determine aircraft design loads for both new development programs and continued airworthiness of in‑service aircraft • Develop and maintain both low‑ and high‑fidelity models to support loads analysis • Contribute to the creation of automated frameworks and tools that enhance efficiency and accuracy in loads analysis • Build capabilities for store separation loads analysis to support missionized aircraft programs • Develop nonlinear actuator modeling tools to meet Transport Canada’s certification requirements • Utilize a wide range of commercial and proprietary tools, including a six‑degree‑of‑freedom aircraft simulator

How to thrive in this role? • You hold a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (Aerospace specialization preferred) • You have relevant aerospace industry experience, particularly in external loads analysis • You have experience in nonlinear modeling and certification process • You have strong programming skills: C++, Fortran, MATLAB, and Python • You have knowledge in numerical and scientific computing • You have experience with high‑performance computing environments • You have experience with software development using version control systems (e.g., Git) • You have a solid understanding of aircraft flight dynamics, aeroelastic phenomena (flutter, LCO), and unsteady aerodynamics • You are familiarity with finite elements analysis tools (e.g., Nastran) • You have a solid understanding of aircraft flight dynamics, aeroelastic phenomena (flutter, LCO), and unsteady aerodynamics • You have knowledge of time/frequency domain unsteady aerodynamics • You have experience with fly‑by‑wire systems and control law integration • You have an understanding of airworthiness regulations and certification documentation • You are eligible for Canadian Control Good Clearance
