Mach Industries is building faster, smarter defense infrastructure for the modern era. Backed by Khosla and Sequoia.
About the role
Responsible Engineer for aeroelastic analysis and for the design, execution, and analysis of static and dynamic tests that verify structural strength, load paths, stiffness, and dynamic characteristics of unmanned aircraft platforms. The engineer owns structural-dynamic and aeroelastic models, plans and runs the tests that validate those models, and closes the loop between prediction and measurement. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline
- Minimum 3–8 years of experience in aircraft structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, flutter, modal testing, or related aerospace analysis and test
- Demonstrated ability to perform and interpret structural-dynamic and aeroelastic analyses, including normal modes, flutter, and aeroelastic loads
- Experience planning, executing, and documenting structural or modal test programs
- Experience correlating test results with finite-element models and using that correlation to refine analysis predictions
- Proficiency with finite-element analysis tools (MSC Nastran or equivalent) and with engineering scripting in MATLAB or Python
