About the role

Stress and Dynamics Engineer responsible for structural integrity of drone systems, performing advanced simulation, model validation, and structural testing to inform design decisions and ensure airworthiness of autonomous systems.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end structural simulation of complex drone products, major subassemblies, and critical components, delivering assessments that directly gate design decisions
  • Define and derive loads, boundary conditions, and material properties, ensuring simulation inputs are physically grounded and fully traceable to system requirements
  • Perform static and dynamic structural assessments, including modal analyses and model correlation tasks, to validate structural integrity across the full flight envelope
  • Plan and execute structural tests for model validation and technology derisking, translating test data into actionable design guidance
  • Produce comprehensive design reports and sensitivity studies that identify optimal structural solutions, in line with company quality standards and engineering guidelines

Qualifications

  • Have built, validated, and correlated finite element models of complex aerospace or equivalently demanding structures using tools such as Simcenter or SolidWorks Simulation
  • Can analytically assess standard structural components (bolts, bearings, fittings) and apply relevant engineering standards with confidence and rigour
  • Have planned and executed structural test campaigns and can close the loop between test data and simulation through systematic model correlation
  • Are proficient in calculation environments such as MATLAB/Simulink and can apply model order reduction methods to simplify high-fidelity structural systems
  • Communicate technical findings clearly in written reports and cross-functional discussions, in English, to both engineering and non-engineering audiences
  • Act decisively with minimal guidance, own outcomes end-to-end and initiate solutions without waiting for direction
