Senior Loads and Aeroelastics Engineer

We are looking for an experienced loads engineer to lead the loads and aeroelastic analysis for the S-1. What You'll Do: 1) Lead the development of aircraft design loads across the full flight and ground envelope, including manoeuvre, gust, landing, proprotor, control system and emergency load cases. 2) Own the aircraft loads methodology, defining the loads policy, analysis approach and certification strategy for the S-1 programme. 3) Lead aeroelastic analyses, including static and dynamic aeroelasticity, flutter, structural dynamics and development of validated loads models. 4) Define critical load cases and load envelopes, providing validated inputs to structural design and stress teams for sizing, testing and certification. Who You Are: 1) Degree in Aerospace Engineering or other relevant field. 2) Significant experience in aircraft loads and aeroelasticity, with a strong understanding of flight mechanics, structural dynamics, aeroelasticity and aircraft structural analysis. 3) Proven experience developing aircraft loads throughout the design lifecycle, ideally including experience supporting or leading certification programmes under EASA, FAA or equivalent regulations. 4) Experience with rotorcraft, tiltrotor or VTOL aircraft is highly desirable, particularly an understanding of rotor-induced loads, coupled flight dynamics and associated certification considerations. 5) Proficient with industry-standard analysis tools (e.g. Nastran, aeroelastic solvers) and engineering scripting languages such as Python or MATLAB. https://www.soraaviation.com/careers-loads-engineer
