Job Summary
To independently execute aeromechanical engineering activities for aircraftweapon integration, including assessment of structural loads, vibration, aeroelastic and dynamic response, mechanical interfaces, and release environments, ensuring safe, compliant, and compatible integration of weapon systems onto airborne platforms in accordance with applicable military standards, airworthiness requirements, and program objectives, while supporting integration reviews and test activities.
Key Accountabilities:
- AircraftWeapon Aeromechanical Integration: Perform aeromechanical activities related to the integration of weapon systems onto aircraft platforms, including mechanical interfaces, carriage, and release environments.
- Mechanical Interface Definition: Define, assess, and verify mechanical interfaces between weapon systems, suspension equipment, and aircraft structures in accordance with integration requirements.
- Structural, Loads & Dynamic Analysis: Conduct or support aeromechanical analyses such as structural loads, vibration, aeroelastic and dynamic response to assess aircraftweapon compatibility and integration impacts.
- Design & Integration Reviews: Contribute to and support aeromechanical aspects of design, integration, and readiness reviews by providing technical inputs, analysis results, and engineering justifications.
- Test & Verification Support: Support and execute aeromechanical test and verification activities, including ground and flight test preparation, instrumentation coordination, and data review related to weapon integration.
- Compliance & Airworthiness: Ensure aeromechanical integration activities comply with applicable military standards, airworthiness requirements, contractual obligations, and internal engineering procedures.
- Engineering Documentation & Traceability: Prepare, review, and maintain aeromechanical engineering documentation, calculations, reports, and compliance evidence with full traceability to requirements.
- Technical Issue Resolution: Identify, analyze, and support resolution of aeromechanical issues arising during design, integration, test, or operational phases. Execute Cross-Functional Engineering Collaboration: Collaborate with systems, safety, test, manufacturing, and platform integration teams to ensure coherent and safe aircraftweapon integration.
- Continuous Improvement & Technical Development: Contribute to continuous improvement of aeromechanical methods, tools, processes, and technical knowledge within the organization.
- Engineering Software & Analysis Tools: Apply approved engineering software tools (e.g. CAD tools such as Creo or SolidWorks, numerical tools such as MATLAB, and CFD tools) to support aeromechanical analyses, model fitment, data processing, and evaluation of aerodynamic and integration impacts.
Experience & Education Qualifications:
- Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with sufficient aeronautical subjects, or BSc/B Eng. in Aeronautical or Aerospace Engineering.
- 4+ years of similar experience within the defence or aerospace industry, preferably involving aircraftweapon or airborne system integration
- Knowledge of aircraftweapon integration principles and aeromechanical interfaces
- Knowledge of structural loads, vibration, aeroelasticity, and dynamic response
- Knowledge of engineering analysis, data interpretation, and technical reporting
