Loads and Dynamic Engineer

Role Overview

SkyDrive are looking for a passionate and talented engineer to join the Loads Team. The role is multi-disciplinary and applicants must have a passion for new technology whilst working in a len manor to achieve program objectives and help to SkyDrive deliver a range of certified eVTOLs into the Advanced Air Mobility Eco-System.

The role will require interfacing with many disciplines, including Structures, Aerodynamics, Simulation, Flight Characteristics, Flight Controls, Test (rigs, ground and flight), requirements management and all activities associated with achieving certification.

The successful candidate will form a part of a small technical team and requires good interpersonal skills (in a multilingual environment), strong work ethic, efficient self-management, passion to learn new skills and help develop others.

Key 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.

Essential Skills and Qualifications

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.

Desirable Skills

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering/Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering or related discipline.
