What are the common responsibilities of an aeroelasticity professional?

Professionals in Aeroelasticity are often tasked with analyzing and predicting structural responses of aircraft components to aerodynamic forces, such as flutter, divergence, and control surface effectiveness. Daily responsibilities may include performing simulations, interpreting wind tunnel or flight test data, collaborating with design and test teams, and proposing engineering solutions to enhance structural performance. Teams are usually multidisciplinary, providing opportunities to work closely with aerodynamics, structures, and avionics experts. The role offers exposure to cutting-edge aerospace technology, and successful professionals can advance to senior technical or leadership roles over time.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed for an aeroelasticity position?

To thrive in Aeroelasticity, you need a strong background in aerospace engineering, applied mechanics, and proficiency in advanced mathematics, typically with a relevant engineering degree or higher. Expertise with computational tools such as ANSYS, NASTRAN, MATLAB, and familiarity with finite element analysis, as well as relevant certifications, are highly valued. Effective collaboration, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving skills are important soft skills for this role. These competencies ensure that aeroelastic phenomena affecting aircraft structures are correctly analyzed and mitigated, supporting safe and efficient aerospace designs.

What is aeroelasticity?

An Aeroelasticity job involves analyzing and mitigating the interaction between aerodynamic, elastic, and inertial forces on aircraft structures. Professionals in this field study phenomena like flutter, divergence, and control reversal to ensure safe and efficient aircraft performance. They use computational simulations, wind tunnel testing, and flight data analysis to predict and solve aeroelastic challenges. Aeroelasticity engineers work in aerospace companies, research institutions, and government agencies to enhance aircraft safety and efficiency.

Job description

Title: Loads & Dynamics Engineer
Location: Greensboro, NC
Visa: USC/GC
Position type: FTE
 
 
Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities:
  • Develop, analyze, and own aircraft external loads across all phases of design, from early conceptual sizing through detailed certification-level substantiation.
  • Perform static and dynamic structural analyses, including maneuver, gust, ground, and environmental loading conditions.
  • Lead and execute flutter, aeroelastic stability, and structural dynamics analyses at the component and full-vehicle level.
  • Plan, execute, and post-process Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) and Structural Mode Interaction (SMI) testing and related modal testing, including model correlation and updating.
  • Support flight flutter testing, including pre-test analysis, real-time monitoring, and post-flight data interpretation.
  • Create and maintain finite element models for loads and dynamics applications, ensuring alignment with structural design assumptions and test results.
  • Develop and validate analysis methods, scripts, and tools to enable efficient, repeatable loads and aeroelastic assessments.
  • Collaborate closely with stress, structural design, flight test, and systems teams to ensure loads and dynamics assumptions are well understood and correctly applied.
Qualifications/skills required:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 15+ yrs of experience in Loads & Dynamics domain
  • Strong foundation in structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and aircraft loads theory.
  • Demonstrated experience with flutter analysis, modal analysis, and external loads development for aircraft or other complex aerospace vehicles.
  • Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as NASTRAN-based solvers, FEM pre/post-processors, and aeroelastic analysis software.
  • Experience with Ground Vibration Testing (GVT), Structural Mode Interaction (SMI), or correlated test/analysis workflows.
  • Solid understanding of aircraft structural behavior, including composites, sandwich structures, bonded joints, and primary airframe components.
  • Ability to perform both hand calculations and advanced FEA, with sound engineering judgment bridging the two.
  • Strong scripting or automation skills (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or similar) to support loads processing, data reduction, or analysis workflows.
  • Comfort operating in fast-paced, multidisciplinary development environments, including flight test or prototype programs.
  • Excellent technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain analysis assumptions, risks, and results to diverse audiences.
