Aircraft Loads
AI Summary
Aircraft Loads Engineer develops and analyzes aircraft loads models and simulations, applying external loads analysis, aeroelasticity, and flight dynamics to support design, certification, and airworthiness activities.
About this role
- 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
