London based technology innovator and several partners are working in stealth mode to advance the design of a disruptive, highly energy efficient aircraft for long-distance air travel.
By joining this project, you will become part of a world-class team of engineers committed to achieve the biggest leap in aviation since the introduction of the jet engine.
Task description
• Perform conceptual design activities on a novel aircraft concept (evaluation of performance requirements, aircraft synthesis and optimization, weight assessment, aerodynamic analysis, engine and landing gear integration, flight dynamics assessment)
• Manage the design repository and digital twin of a new aircraft concept
• Guide engineering activities of team members, partners, and consultants to de-risk a new airframe technology
Qualifications
• Strong foundation in aircraft design (aerodynamics, structures, flight dynamics and control, propulsion, performance, requirements and regulation)
• 3+ years of professional experience in aircraft technology and design
• Proven track record in designing aircraft
• Hands on experience (windtunnel testing, scaled flight testing)
• Software experience: 3DX, CATIA, Solid Works, NX, Matlab, Python, CFD tools (Ansys, VLM methods), FE tools (Nastran, Patran)
