Aircraft Structural Dynamics

Job description

Key Skills for: Structural Dynamics Engineer

- aeroelasticity and aeroservoelasticity analyses

- ground vibration testing (GVT) and flight flutter testing (FFT)

- dynamic system stability and frequency response calculations

- finite element models and analysis

- Matlab, Python, Fortran, or C/C++

Degree: Bachelor’s or Master’s (preferred) degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace specialization

What are your contributions to the team? • Perform aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic simulations in support of new aircraft design studies and continued airworthiness of in‑service aircraft • Use engineering judgment on selecting the appropriate methods, techniques, and tools in resolving complex issues • Prepare and maintain finite element models to perform aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic analysis • Maintain, develop and document methods and in‑house software • Support and interact with other engineering disciplines, such as Advanced Design, Aerodynamics, Structures, Mass Properties, Flight Controls and Control Laws • Support ground vibration testing (GVT) and flight flutter testing (FFT) and post‑process results • Document analyses and findings in engineering certification reports and presentations (English)

How to thrive in this role? • You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s (preferred) degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace specialization. A high education would be an asset • You have relevant experience in the aerospace industry • You have some experience in aeroelasticity and aeroservoelasticity analyses • You have a good understanding of aircraft structures, aerodynamics, control surface actuations and control laws • You have experience with finite element models and analysis. Experience with Nastran is an asset • You have experience with dynamic system stability and frequency response calculations • You have experience programming in Matlab, Python, Fortran, or C/C++ • You are eligible to acquire Canadian Controlled Goods (CGD) clearance • You have some knowledge of Airworthiness regulations • You have good organizational skills in planning work activities and completing tasks within budget and on schedule, and can work under pressure • You have good analytical thinking, problem solving, communication skills both written and spoken, in French and English
