FLIGHT DYNAMICS ENGINEER WANTED

This role is a Re-Location to NJ (Confidential)

Are you a highly motivated Aerospace Engineer looking for a new challenge? Do you have a Ph.D. in Engineering with expertise in aeromechanics, flight dynamics, and control? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for you! We are seeking a Flight Dynamics Engineer to join our team and work on the analysis and design of algorithms, sensors, and actuators that enhance the stability and performance characteristics of flying vehicles.

Responsibilities:

--- Design and analyze flight algorithms, sensors, and actuators to enhance aircraft stability and performance.

--- Perform numerical analysis and software development for modeling and simulation of aircraft flight mechanics.

--- Contribute to the development of aircraft simulations and control systems.

--- Conduct research and development in the areas of aeromechanics, flight dynamics, and control.

--- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful completion of projects.

Requirements:

--- Ph.D. in Engineering from an accredited college or university in Aeronautical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering, or related discipline with an emphasis in aeromechanics, flight dynamics, modeling and simulation, and control. Will consider ME or MEng w/experience. (Not interested in people with experience only in Finite Element analysis.)

--- Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and the ability to use calculations, models, and simulations to predict and understand how objects behave under various physical conditions.

--- Broad and comprehensive knowledge of aircraft flight mechanics, simulation, and control. Background in rotorcraft (helicopter) and VTOL (vehicle take-off and landing) aircraft is preferred.

--- Proficiency in one or more scientific or engineering programming languages such as MATLAB, Simulink, Python, Fortran, C, or C++.

--- Excellent communication, documentation, presentation, and interpersonal skills.

--- Self-motivated and able to work both independently and as part of a team.

Required Skillsets:

--- Training and Flight Simulation (TS) - This skill set does not have a specific Aerospace Industry abbreviation, but the closest would be "FSTD" which stands for "Flight Simulation Training Device"

--- Air Vehicle External Noise (AEN) - ANP: Acoustics and Noise Control

--- Rotorcraft, VTOL Designing of Aircraft (RVD) - UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle / RPV: Remotely Piloted Vehicle / STOVL: Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing

--- Full Vehicle Aeromechanics (FVA) - FVD: Flight Vehicle Dynamics / CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics / FEM: Finite Element Method

--- Turbomachinery Aeromechanics (TMA) - TFE: Turbomachinery and Fluid Engineering / CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics

--- Modeling of Tactical Measures (MTM) - MST: Missile System Technology

Benefits:

Base salary is expected to be between $100,000 and $125,000 per year, though higher salaries may be considered for candidates with additional experience. We provide a comprehensive benefits package that includes paid vacation and sick time, company-paid health insurance for the employee and their immediate family, life, travel and long-term disability insurance, 401K and participation in Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP).
