## About the role

As a Staff Loads Engineer, you will lead the generation and analysis of structural and aerodynamic load cases that define the mechanical environment for the next-gen air vehicle. You’ll play a key role in shaping how loads flow through the aircraft structure—supporting structural sizing, airworthiness, aeroelastic stability, and flight performance. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
- 8+ years experience performing loads and aeroelastic analysis for aircraft (manned or unmanned)
- Proficiency with loads modeling tools such as FEMAP, NASTRAN, MATLAB, or other relevant simulation environments
- Strong understanding of aircraft flight envelopes, control surface effects, and structural load paths
- Demonstrated experience supporting both design and test phases with accurate load predictions
- Excellent documentation, cross-functional collaboration, and communication skills
