Job Description:
As a Staff Loads Engineer, you will lead the generation and analysis of structural and aerodynamic load cases that define the mechanical environment for the next-gen air vehicle. You’ll play a key role in shaping how loads flow through the aircraft structure—supporting structural sizing, airworthiness, aeroelastic stability, and flight performance.
 
This is a highly cross-functional role requiring deep technical knowledge of aeroelastic theory, loads derivation, and flight vehicle behavior. You’ll collaborate closely with structural design, aero, GNC, and test engineering teams to ensure load paths are accurate, traceable, and validated through test or simulation.
What you'll do:
  • Own the development of aerodynamic and structural load envelopes for the full vehicle, from clean-sheet through flight test
  • Lead maneuver, gust, landing, and ground loads analyses, including both quasi-static and dynamic cases
  • Coordinate closely with GNC, aero, and structural teams to define load cases tied to mission profiles and flight control behaviors
  • Develop and validate loads models using tools like NASTRAN, FEMAP, MATLAB, or custom Python/Simulink scripts
  • Support the sizing and analysis of critical structural components through detailed load maps and V-n diagrams
  • Conduct aeroelastic stability assessments, including divergence and control reversal checks
  • Lead traceability of loads inputs/outputs across ICDs, FEA models, and design justification documents
  • Interface with test engineering to support strain gauge placement, instrumentation plans, and correlation of in-flight data
  • Author and present loads documentation for reviews, compliance, and technical buy-in
  • Support the long-term refinement of loads methodologies and automation across the aerostructures team
Required qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
  • 8+ years experience performing loads and aeroelastic analysis for aircraft (manned or unmanned)
  • Proficiency with loads modeling tools such as FEMAP, NASTRAN, MATLAB, or other relevant simulation environments
  • Strong understanding of aircraft flight envelopes, control surface effects, and structural load paths
  • Demonstrated experience supporting both design and test phases with accurate load predictions
  • Excellent documentation, cross-functional collaboration, and communication skills
  • Ability to get a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience on UAV, eVTOL, or tactical military platforms
  • Familiarity with MIL-A-8860, FAR Part 23/25 loads regulations, or similar certification standards
  • Knowledge of aeroelastic stability, load alleviation, and adaptive control
  • Experience developing internal tools or automation for loads generation and reporting
  • Active or previous DoD clearance (not required)
