Loads & Dynamics Engineer

* Integrate data from multiple flight science disciplines to evaluate forces experienced by the aircraft using reduced-order models

* Analyze aircraft behavior considering rigid body dynamics, structural dynamics, and aeroelastic effects when required

* Define external load envelopes representing summed aircraft forces along reference axis systems

* Develop external load cross-plots showing resultant loads in multiple directions

* Define control surface loads and support flight control evaluations

* Develop aerodynamic load distributions and pressure distributions using:

* CFD data

* Wind tunnel testing

* Flight pressure measurements

* Define acceleration envelopes required for inertial load sizing and structural assessments

* Support aircraft structural sizing and certification activities

* Ensure airworthiness requirement traceability and regulatory compliance

* Maintain and support Loads Database Management activities

* Collaborate with structures, stress, aerodynamics, and certification teams throughout the program lifecycle
