About the role
- This role sits at the foundation of vehicle integrity.
- Today, these responsibilities are distributed across teams
- your role is to bring them into a coherent, defensible system.
Responsibilities
- Build and Lead the Loads & Dynamics Function: Establish the team from the ground up - defining standards, operating cadence, and technical expectations - while hiring, mentoring, and developing engineers.
- Define the Vehicle Loads Basis: Develop a coherent, traceable set of load cases across all operating modes and environmental conditions.
- Own Dynamics and Aero/Hydroelastic Approach: Define how the program addresses flutter risk, modal behavior, and dynamic response, including analysis methods, GVT strategy, and how coupling effects are incorporated into loads and verification.
- Establish Loads Validation and Integration: Define how simulation, structural models, and test data come together. Build the processes for CFD-to-loads mapping, FEM integration, and correlation between predicted and measured loads.
- Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner with Structures and Flight Physics to define clear interfaces, resolve gaps, and maintain a single source of truth for loads across the organization.
- Experience Building or Owning a Vehicle Loads Basis: You've led or directly contributed to a Vehicle Loads Document (or equivalent), with clear traceability to requirements and use in substantiation and/or certification.
- Leadership and Team-Building Experience: Proven ability to lead technical teams - setting direction, mentoring engineers, and building a high-performing group.
- Experience in Regulated, Certification-Driven Environments: Familiarity working with certification or classification bodies (FAA, EASA, Lloyd's Register, or similar), including developing compliance approaches and supporting technical discussions.
Requirements
- Develop the compliance approach for loads and dynamics, including assumptions, traceability, and required evidence.
- Experience with flutter risk identification, modal analysis, dynamic response, and test planning (e.g., GVT), and how these influence loads definition.
- Enable Certification Through Defensible Methods: Develop the compliance approach for loads and dynamics, including assumptions, traceability, and required evidence.
- Strong Foundation in Aeroelasticity and Structural Dynamics: Experience with flutter risk identification, modal analysis, dynamic response, and test planning (e.g., GVT), and how these influence loads definition.
- Fluency in Loads Workflows and Toolchains: Strong understanding of CFD-to-loads mapping, integration with FEM/FEA tools (e.g., Nastran), and how loads outputs are consumed by Structures.
