Structural Dynamics Engineer, Advanced Concepts

About the role

The Structural Dynamics Engineer will develop and apply structural dynamic models and analyses for an advanced narrowbody electric aircraft, supporting airframe and propulsion‑integration design.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and maintain mass‑ and stiffness‑representative finite element models for structural dynamics and aeroelastic applications.
• Perform modal, harmonic, random‑vibration, transient, and base‑input analyses for aircraft structures and installed equipment.
• Evaluate dynamic response of wings, pylons, propulsion, control surfaces, and aircraft systems, and translate results into structural, mass‑property, damping, isolation, instrumentation, and interface requirements.
• Support ground vibration, component vibration, and structural coupling test planning and model correlation.
• Collaborate with Loads, Aeroelasticity, Flight Controls, Propulsion, Stress, Design, Test, and Manufacturing teams.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• Three or more years of experience in structural dynamics, vibration, aeroelasticity, finite element analysis, or related testing.
• Strong fundamentals in modal analysis, structural dynamics, and finite element methods.
• Must be a US Person.
