SkyDrive is seeking a Loads and Dynamic Engineer to join the Loads Team, supporting the development and certification of eVTOL aircraft. The role involves interfacing with multiple disciplines including Structures, Aerodynamics, and Flight Controls, and providing technical support for loads and dynamic analysis. The successful candidate will work in a small technical team, applying best practices from aerospace and novel eVTOL approaches.

Responsibilities

Provide technical support for Loads and Dynamic analysis.
Support aircraft level integration by providing Loads and Dynamic expertise and tools to support the programme and the activities of other technical teams.
Positively participate in development and management of Loads and Dynamic analysis and design requirements, from capture, through V&V and compliance for certification.
Apply best practice by combining knowledge from conventional aerospace and new approaches for eVTOL. Emphasis on the needs of a lean start-up culture with novel designs and unique operational characteristics.

Requirements

Minimum of 5 years experience in Loads and Dynamics analysis for aerospace vehicles.
Knowledge of technical requirements for Loads discipline and participated in managing them throughout the life-cycle (capture, mature, validation and verification).
Knowledge in at least one-of Part/CS 23/25/27/29 requirements relating to Loads and Dynamic.
Proficiency in NASTRAN, FEMAP, Python or MATLAB workflows for static, dynamic and aeroelastic analyses.
Fundamental understanding of structural dynamics, unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelastic.

Nice to have

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering/Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering or related discipline.
Loads knowledge and experience for multicopters. If no practical experience then at least an understanding of theory and the challenges associated with certification (and major differences to conventional f/wing or r/wing).
Experience of executing Loads related ground and flight test programmes for aerospace vehicles.
Experience with Interactions of Systems of Structures regulations and/or computing loads for aircraft with fly-by-wire control system.
Understanding of multi-copters and rotor blades aerodynamics and rotor dynamics and impact on Loads requirements and analysis.
demonstrated ability to work as part of a team that has developed and applied Loads analysis and simulation tools and environments.
Knowledge of proposed eVTOL regulations and means of compliance.
Experience in developing analysis from a blank sheet and from first principles to aid aircraft design, integration and testing.
Knowledge on Aeroelastic Finite Element Modeling in NASTRAN and conduct aeroelastic stability analysis (flutter and whirl flutter).
