Responsibilities:
- Aircraft Modeling: Develop and validate UAV (fixed wing and multicopter) 6-DOF simulation models, including aerodynamics, propulsion, systems, and environment.
- Flying Qualities Analysis: Evaluate aircraft behavior in static and dynamic simulations, verifying requirements and aircraft robustness.
- Process Automation: Improve simulation and model validation automation.
- Aircraft Sizing: Support conceptual and preliminary design from a flying qualities perspective, including stability and controllability requirements.
- Flight Test Support and Data Analysis: Propose UAV flight test points to evaluate flying qualities and control laws. Analyze flight test data to identify aircraft problems and opportunities for improvement.
- Model Adjustment: Correct modeling database based on flight test results.
- Project Management: Take ownership of tasks while adhering to deadlines and budgets.
Qualifications:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field is required. A master's degree is a plus.
- Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in flying qualities or aircraft modeling and simulation (preference for 10+ years).
- Programming Skills: Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink; Python programming is a plus.
- System Modeling: Strong understanding of dynamic system modeling and simulation tools, especially aircraft-related systems (propulsion, sensors, and actuators). Experience in rotary wing modeling is a bonus.
- Aerodynamics: Ability to critically evaluate aerodynamic coefficients from wind tunnel and CFD analysis, and implement and validate them in the flying qualities model.
- Aircraft Design Phases: Familiarity with aircraft design phases (conceptual, preliminary, and detail).
- Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose and resolve complex aerodynamic issues.
- Team Player: Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
- Adaptability: Ability to adapt to changing project requirements and priorities in a fast-paced aerospace environment.
