Building the aircraft and technologies to define the next era of aerospace and defense. Backed by AlleyCorp.
About the role
As Structures Architect, you will develop the conceptual-level airframe architecture for a next-generation eVTOL: laying out and sizing the major structural components, evaluating alternative layouts and materials, assessing packaging and volume, and predicting weight for candidate configurations in close coordination with the vehicle, powertrain, and aero architects. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Aircraft structural design background at the conceptual or preliminary design level, rotorcraft, tiltrotor, or eVTOL experience strongly preferred
- Strong experience with aeroelastic analysis — including flutter and whirl-flutter prediction — and structural modal analysis
- Structural sizing methods (classical beam/panel analysis, weight-estimation relationships / CERs), experience with the sectionproperties Python library or similar cross-sectional analysis tools a plus
- Experience with conceptual/preliminary structural and aeroelastic sizing tools such as ASWING, NeoCASS, OpenAeroStruct, pyNastran, SUAVE, or similar
- Working knowledge of composite and metallic airframe construction and their trade-offs
- Strong Python programming experience for structural sizing and analysis automation
