What are your contributions to the team?

• Act as an Aircraft Loads Applications Lead : elaborate mid to long term plans and coordinate their execution by supporting and providing technical leadership, mentoring, and training to a team of Aircraft Loads Professionals
• Analyze complex Aircraft Loads problems and organize technical reviews to resolve complex investigations
• Contribute to growing the Loads engineering Knowledge Domain by proposing the approaches and techniques to improve the efficiency and fidelity of aircraft loads simulations
• Use engineering judgment on selecting the appropriate methods, techniques, and tools in resolving complex issues
• Lead interface with other engineering disciplines such as Flight Characteristics, Structures, Mass Properties, Systems, Fly-By-Wire, Landing Gear and Flight Test
• Perform analyses and simulations to compute aircraft design loads, in support of new aircraft design studies and continued airworthiness of in-service aircraft,
• Review FEM models to compute airframe design loads, component design loads (high lift and control surface)
• Perform dynamic aeroelastic response analyses for tuned discrete gust and continuous turbulence with and without the effects from fly-by-wire
• Define restrictions and special instructions for flight test procedures based on loads and dynamics analyses
• Provide Loads support for both flight test and in-service AOGs
• Document analyses and findings in engineering certification reports
• Support Aircraft Landing Gear development, analysis and test.

How to thrive in this role?

• You have a Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. A higher education would be an asset
• You have at least 15 years of experience in external loads analyses in the aerospace industry
• You have a good understanding of the FAR 25 certification requirements
• You have a strong background in static and dynamic aeroelastic loads analyses
• You can develop FEM models, compute airframe design loads and component design loads (high lift and control surface) or perform flutter and Aeroservoelastic analysis
• You have previous experience using Nastran for Dynamic / Aeroelastic analysis; DMAP is an asset
• You have a good understanding of FEM, unsteady aerodynamics, and frequency-based data analysis
• You are familiar with concepts of linearizing controls laws to be used for TDG and PSD gust and Aeroservoelastic analyses
• You have a good knowledge of engine fan blade out and windmilling dynamic loads analyses
• You have experience in working in flight test environment, collecting flight test data and comparing flight test data with analyses data
• You have a good understanding of the instrumentation (strain gauge, accelerometers, pressure sensors) needed for flight test measurements
• You have advanced programming knowledge in Matlab, Python, Fortran, C / C++, and Linux / Windows scripting
• You have good organizational skills in planning work activities and complete tasks within budget and on schedule
• You have good analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills (both written and verbal) and ability to work under pressure

Please note : You don’t need all the skills, knowledge, and experience listed for this position! We’re not looking for the perfect candidate, we’re looking for great talent and resourcefulness.
