Aircraft Loads

Key Skills for: Aircraft Loads Engineer

• aerospace industry experience, particularly in external loads analysis
• finite element models and analysis (e.g., Nastran)
• strong programming skills: C++, Fortran, MATLAB, and Python
• aircraft flight dynamics, aeroelastic phenomena (flutter, LCO), and unsteady aerodynamics
• dynamic system stability and frequency response calculations
• fly-by-wire systems and control law integration

Degree: Bachelor’s or Master’s (preferred) degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace specialization

What are your contributions to the team?

• Conduct simulations and analyses to determine aircraft design loads for both new development programs and continued airworthiness of in‑service aircraft

• Develop and maintain both low‑ and high‑fidelity models to support loads analysis

• Contribute to the creation of automated frameworks and tools that enhance efficiency and accuracy in loads analysis

• Build capabilities for store separation loads analysis to support missionized aircraft programs

• Develop nonlinear actuator modeling tools to meet Transport Canada’s certification requirements

• Utilize a wide range of commercial and proprietary tools, including a six‑degree‑of‑freedom aircraft simulator
