Job description

About Quartus
Quartus Engineering Incorporated (www.quartus.com) is a leading provider of engineering services and integrated hardware solutions for a wide range of clients and industries. We employ advanced computer-aided engineering tools in the areas of optics, structural, thermal, and coupled analyses. We couple our engineering analysis capabilities with design, prototype, integration and test capabilities to create solutions for our clients that are of extraordinary value.
What will you do?
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Aircraft Loads and Dynamics Engineer to join our team. As a Lead Engineer, you will play a critical role in evaluating, analyzing, and optimizing the loads and dynamic behavior of aircraft structures and systems. This position requires an individual with an advanced understanding of structural loads, aeroelasticity, dynamic response, and certification processes for both fixed-wing and/or rotary-wing aircraft. The candidate should have at least 10 years of industry experience in the aerospace sector, with demonstrated expertise in loads and dynamics analysis and compliance with applicable regulations (e.g., FAR/CS Part 23, 25, 27, or 29). Additionally, experience in sustained engine imbalance analysis and requirements development is a plus.
Essential Job Functions:
Aircraft Loads Analysis:
  • Perform static and dynamic loads analysis for various flight and ground conditions, including gust, turbulence, landing, taxiing, takeoff, and emergency maneuvers.
  • Develop load cases in compliance with certification requirements and design criteria.
  • Support the development of aerodynamic databases and load envelopes in coordination with the aerodynamics group.

Aeroelasticity and Flutter:
  • Conduct aeroelastic analyses, including flutter, divergence, and control reversal studies, to ensure structural stability (FAR 25.629).
  • Mitigate risks related to structural resonance, fatigue, and dynamic instabilities.

Sustained Engine Imbalance Analysis:
  • Perform analysis to evaluate the effects of sustained engine imbalance (e.g., rotor unbalance or blade loss) on aircraft structural loads and dynamic response, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards (e.g., CFR 25.901(c), 25.903(c), AC 25-24).

Certification and Documentation:
  • Prepare technical reports, substantiation documents, and compliance data packages for regulatory authorities (e.g., FAA, EASA).
  • Ensure compliance with applicable airworthiness standards (e.g., CFR/CS Part 23, 25, 27, 29).
  • Collaborate with regulatory agencies and certification specialists as needed.

Collaboration:
  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers and team members.
  • Work directly with Quartus's business development/sales organization to expand and diversify our air vehicle customer base.

Location
Position will be based in Herndon, VA, with a hybrid schedule.*
*The hybrid work arrangement is subject to change based on business needs including but not limited to training, performance, or other operational requirements. Any physical location change may impact future employment.
What are we looking for?
• BS and/or MS in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural, or similar Engineering field
• 10+ years of experience in aircraft/rotorcraft static loads and criteria
• Experience with static and dynamic load derivation for aircraft
• Experience developing aeroelastic analysis models
• Experience or expertise in MSC NASTRAN, ZAERO, or similar tool is required
• Experience or expertise in coding with MATLAB and/or Python
• Familiarity with Patran, FEMAP, RCAS, Adams, or comparable tools
• Experience with ground vibration and/or static load tests
• Experience with Special Class Airworthiness (Part 21)
• Must be a US Person (US Citizen or US Permanent Resident)
Preferred Qualifications:
• Knowledge and experience with CFD analysis
• Experience working with Structures FAA DERs a plus
• Knowledge or experience with Aeroservoelastic analyses
Compensation and Benefits
Lead Engineer pay range:$142,245 - $235,409*
