Aircraft Conceptual Development Engineer
EXPLANATION
As a part of the Flight Mechanics and Conceptual Development team of our Flight Sciences Department, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of new aircraft systems, also you will be involved in the flight mechanics analysis processes of the aircraft systems.
The selected engineer will play a role in defining the performance and mission duty requirements of new aircraft during the conceptual development phase, as well as creating design alternatives that provide specified requirements, and selecting the most optimal design in terms of performance, aerodynamics, control and stability. Within the studies of flight mechanics, you will ensure to identify stability-control processes for aircraft, and determining trim and control strategies. To complete the tasks given, you will carry out the software development for the computational tools that are required and will be involved in CFD analysis processes.
Our teammate is expected to be highly motivated, adaptable to dynamic working conditions, self-sufficient, and possess understanding of especially the military aviation and defense sectors.
