About this role
Role Overview
- Perform detailed structural analyses of dynamic system components, including the rotor system, control system, and blades
- Evaluate static strength and fatigue life of critical structures using classical hand calculations and finite element analysis for both flight loads and ground load conditions
- Evaluate component life and dynamic response of dynamically loaded metallic and composite components subject to high and low cycle fatigue
- Author structural substantiation reports and other required technical documentation to meet program needs
- Support full scale component ground testing and flight testing, including test requirements, layout, instrumentation, and data reduction
- Develop best practices for structural analysis of critical aerospace structures
- Collaborate with the aerodynamics and loads & dynamics teams to design high performance propeller and rotor blades
- Collaborate with internal and external customers to ensure on-time delivery of data
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or related field
- 5+ years of experience in design and analysis of critical aircraft structures
- Proficient in ANSYS, NASTRAN, or other FE software
- Knowledge of fatigue and damage tolerance of composites
- Knowledge of high cycle and low cycle fatigue in metallic components
- Ability to read engineering drawings and interpret CAD models
- CAD design experience (NX preferred)
- Strong technical, written, and verbal communication skills
- Experience in a fast-paced design environment.
