Load Engineer for Urban Air Mobility Vehicle As an experienced Load Engineer you will join a core team in Southern California creating first Urban Air Mobility prototype (early stage).
Responsibilities: Compute internal and external loads acting on the airplane due to flight, including structural stiffness and system dynamic loads and vibration analysis/testing.
Develop vehicle flight & ground loads including static, dynamic and fatigue.
Perform aeroelastic analyses using state-of-the art methods as well as established commercial tools.
Develop and organize loads models, loads analysis and clearance, simulation tools and flight loads survey in a conformal and convergent way, for design exploration, product development and certification.
Develop, and maintain a central loads platform in a DOA conformal way, considering strong relations with aerodynamics, flight physics, FCL, mass properties, performance, propulsion system, structures, flight test, battery system, certification.
Support the structural analysis and flight tests campaigns for analyses and development/certification of target load levels.
Requirements: MS in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
4+ years of experience in a similar position.
Excellent skills in state-of-the-art loads derivation for all classes of physical loads and their fully automated mapping throughout different engineering departments.
Outstanding data management skills for a scalable and certifiable loads platform.
Proven track record in performing ground vibration testing, operational modal analysis and flight loads validation.
Proficiency in with ANY
– Nastran, Multibody Dynamics codes (MotionSolve, Adams, etc.) and scripting languages (Python, Matlab).
Strong motivation to help build working frameworks and processes.
Experience with 14 CFR Part 23 or 25 or 27 or 29 certifications Location: Southern California (relocation assistance available) Type: Fulltime Employee Submit resume to Jobs@OSIengineering.com Abel Lara | 408.550.2800 x119 Abel@OSIengineering.com
