Your mission
Key Tasks
* Perform structural and aerodynamic load analysis.
* Develop, validate and maintain dynamic and aeroelastic models using CAMRAD II, FLIGHTLAB, Simulink, and NASTRAN.
* Support structural test campaigns including static and dynamic testing, modal analysis, and Ground Vibration Testing (GVT).
* Analyze vibration phenomena and contribute to the design and tuning of dampers and passive/active mitigation solutions.
* Evaluate system stability in both low- and high-frequency domains.
* Ensure compliance with relevant aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, MIL-STD-810, MIL-A-8866).
* Support flight and ground test activities, including instrumentation definition and data analysis.
* Interface with control systems engineers to integrate loads and dynamics considerations into flight control strategy.
* Prepare technical documentation, presentations, and reports for internal use and qualification purposes.
