About The Position

This role involves conducting simulations and analyses to determine aircraft design loads for both new development programs and the continued airworthiness of in-service aircraft. The engineer will develop and maintain low- and high-fidelity models, contribute to automated frameworks and tools, build capabilities for store separation loads analysis, and develop nonlinear actuator modeling tools to meet certification requirements. The position utilizes a wide range of commercial and proprietary tools, including a six-degree-of-freedom aircraft simulator.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with Aerospace specialization
• Relevant aerospace industry experience, particularly in external loads analysis
• Experience in nonlinear modeling and certification process
• Strong programming skills: C++, Fortran, MATLAB, and Python
• Knowledge in numerical and scientific computing
• Experience with high‑performance computing environments
• Experience with software development using version control systems (e.g., Git)
• Solid understanding of aircraft flight dynamics, aeroelastic phenomena (flutter, LCO), and unsteady aerodynamics
• Familiarity with finite elements analysis tools (e.g., Nastran)
• Knowledge of time/frequency domain unsteady aerodynamics
• Experience with fly‑by‑wire systems and control law integration
• Understanding of airworthiness regulations and certification documentation
• Eligible for Canadian Control Good Clearance

Responsibilities

• Conduct simulations and analyses to determine aircraft design loads for both new development programs and continued airworthiness of in‑service aircraft
• Develop and maintain both low‑ and high‑fidelity models to support loads analysis
• Contribute to the creation of automated frameworks and tools that enhance efficiency and accuracy in loads analysis
• Build capabilities for store separation loads analysis to support missionized aircraft programs
• Develop nonlinear actuator modeling tools to meet Transport Canada’s certification requirements
• Utilize a wide range of commercial and proprietary tools, including a six‑degree‑of‑freedom aircraft simulator
