Job Description

Senior Loads and Aeroelastics Engineer

Location : Lindsay, Ontario, Canada (Hybrid)

Employment Type : Full-time

Salary Range : CAD 165,000 – 210,000 gross / year

About the Role

A senior-level Loads and Aeroelastics Engineer is sought to lead the analysis and validation of structural loads and aeroelastic behaviour for advanced hybrid eVTOL aircraft.

This role is critical to ensuring structural integrity, flight safety, and certification compliance across the full operational envelope. You will analyze aerodynamic and inertial forces under a wide range of flight and ground conditions, directly supporting aircraft design, control integration, and regulatory approval. Working in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment, you will influence both technical decisions and engineering processes.

Key Responsibilities

Perform static and dynamic loads analysis across all flight phases, including takeoff, landing, transition, hover, and ground operations

Develop, validate, and maintain aeroelastic models to assess flutter, divergence, and control surface effectiveness

Generate loads spectra and load envelopes to support structural sizing, fatigue, and durability analysis

Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, flight controls, and structural engineering teams to ensure accurate loads definition and feedback integration

Support control law design and tuning with aeroelastic stability considerations

Conduct sensitivity studies, load alleviation analyses, and correlation with flight test and simulation data

Act as a technical integrator between engineering disciplines and project management

Apply and enforce applicable standards, specifications, and regulatory requirements

Drive rigor, resilience, and continuous improvement in engineering design and analysis methods

Stay current with advances in loads, aeroelasticity, and aerospace engineering practices

Contribute to continuous process improvements that enhance safety, efficiency, and delivery performance

Requirements

7+ years of experience in loads, aeroelasticity, or related engineering roles within aerospace or automotive environments

Proven experience across multiple phases of the product lifecycle (concept, development, testing, certification)

Strong background in structural loads analysis and aeroelastic modelling techniques

Hands-on experience with systems engineering principles is an advantage

Familiarity with eVTOL certification frameworks (TCCA, FAA, EASA) is highly desirable

Excellent analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills

Ability to work effectively in complex, fast-moving, multidisciplinary engineering teams

Whats Offered

Competitive senior-level compensation package

No fixed holiday cap

Competitive group benefits plan

Company stock purchase program

Hybrid work options

Opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge aerospace and eVTOL programs
