Harris is seeking qualified individuals to join our Aeronautical Systems Engineering team as a Dynamics Engineer. In this role, you will perform aeroelastic and dynamic load analyses including frequency response and modal analysis of modifications to primary and secondary aircraft structure including systems and components. Tasks will include determination of dynamic mass and stiffness characteristics and participation in flight test programs to collect and reduce dynamic data used to develop vibration spectra, evaluate flutter characteristics, and determine acoustic profiles.

The lead position requires the candidate to support complex aircraft structural modification programs with minimal direction.

• Calculate natural frequencies and estimate mode shapes.
• Develop loads for structural analysis that account for transient response and dynamic stiffness to be used for impact analysis, aircraft ditching, shock, and vibration.
• Conduct flutter analysis.
• Support ground and flight testing.
• Prepare analytical reports, test plans, and test reports necessary to document the airworthiness of major aircraft modifications.
• Apply advanced principles, theories, concepts, and techniques in vibration, acoustics, and shock analysis and testing.
• Analyze dynamics environment, specify requirements, and conduct tests to support aircraft design and modification.
• Familiarity with FAA and military aircraft airworthiness certification processes and requirements.
• Experience with Finite Element Modeling in MSC Nastran.
• Proficient in MS Office and one programming language.
