BETA Technologies is creating an electric transportation ecosystem that’s safe, reliable and sustainable. Backed by Vermont Center for Emerging Technologies (VCET).
About the role
The Aircraft Loads Engineer will be responsible for developing external aircraft loads including gusts, maneuver, and ground loads for fixed wing and vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft. The engineer will support development of aircraft FEM and ensuing external loads for structural sizing.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering or related field
- At least 3-5 years of experience in aircraft loads analysis and testing, including steady state maneuvers, abrupt maneuvers, gust response, landing loads, and miscellaneous conditions such as canopy loads, etc
- Experience with aerodynamic analysis methods of varying fidelity (panel methods, CFD, etc.)
- Experience in the use of industry standard loads analysis software such as NASTRAN, FEMAP, etc
- Experience with MATLAB, Python, and CAD tools (CATIA, SolidWorks, etc.)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
