Aeroservoelastics Engineer

Role Overview

This role is about creating credible, test-correlated dynamic models that reduce aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic risk for SkyDrive’s aircraft. You will sit between the Modelling & Simulation function and the Aeroelastics team: supporting the aeroelastics team’s Ground Vibration Test (GVT) initiative, and pushing the integration of structural dynamics and propeller dynamics into modelling workflows that enable aeroservoelastic assessments. Your outputs will directly support design decisions, risk closure, and readiness for envelope expansion by improving traceability, repeatability, and cross-team alignment.

Job Highlights

eVTOL development depends on disciplined coupling between structure, propulsion, and control. GVT is a high-leverage activity: it is where structural dynamics become measurable and where model credibility is won or lost. This role is an opportunity to turn GVT outcomes into actionable engineering artefacts—correlated modes, clear assumptions, and models that can be used by both aeroelastics and M&S. You will work in a small team environment with strong ownership, where the expectation is not only to “run analyses”, but to build a dependable, repeatable capability for the programme.

Essential Skills

• 5+ years’ experience in structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, aeroservoelasticity, or closely related modelling
