Responsibilities
- Contribute to the development of mass properties (weight, center of gravity (CG), & inertia) data for new air vehicle development.
- Develop, track, and manage mass properties data throughout air vehicle design phases
- Participate in defining mass properties related design requirements
- Provide vehicle and subsystem configuration trade study guidance
- Support vehicle and subsystem level weight and balance control efforts
- Estimate, calculate, measure, and verify weight, balance, and inertia of components, assemblies, and completed vehicles or systems
- Participate in developing and maintaining mass properties accounting systems
- Generate mass properties reports
- Participate in developing and implementing new processes and tools
Requirements
- High-ownership and a bias toward action – if you see a problem, you want to fix it.
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineer, Robotics, Physics, or related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in aircraft mass properties or related aerospace design roles.
- Strong understanding of aerospace principles, vehicle dynamics, and system integration.
Nice to Have
- Proven track record leading aircraft mass properties efforts from early development through flight test and production
- Experience with aircraft mass properties tools
- Experience with Formula SAE, Baja SAE, Design Build Fly, or similar competitive engineering programs demonstrating hands-on vehicle integration experience
