Sr. Rotor Dynamics Engineer

Supernal is at the forefront of creating emerging mobility solutions that will foster the development of human-centered cities. We are designing a completely new electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft tailored to the mobility needs of future cities. This allows passengers a seamless intermodal journey that safely transports them to their final destination. We fuse research in autonomy, robotics, aviation and services to define a new category of mobility for the world''s communities. We believe in creative thinking and collaboration to help build a better mobility experience for everyone, improving people''s ability to move - whether for work or play.What we do: The Senior Rotor Dynamics Engineer will support air vehicle design, ground tests, and flight tests with dynamics analysis and design. This role will handle the planning and execution of analysis, design, and testing at varying levels of development. The engineer will interface regularly with the Airframe, VMS, Powertrain, Intelligent Systems, and other groups within Flight Technology.What you can do:Run rotor dynamics analysis, design and testing of air vehicle designs throughout developmentDevelop aeroelastic models to predict the static and dynamic stability of individual components as well as the entire air vehicleWork with component designers to develop mass and stiffness properties that provide for stable configurationsPerform flutter and buffet analyses on the aircraft to identify dynamic interactions between componentsEvaluate component test and vehicle flight test data, using empirical data to improve analytical predictions and modelingSupport the team to ensure global realization of the design planWork with the broader engineering team to conduct multi-disciplinary trade studies to guide design decisionsContribute to model updates based on test dataPerform requirement verification activities in various engineering fieldsSupport test procedure development and test executionDevelop engineering tools, as needed, to complete engineering tasks associated with Supernal conceptsWhat you can contribute:B.S. degree in a relevant engineering fieldMinimum 10 years of relevant experience (an equivalent combination of education and experience may be considered)Experience performing rotor dynamics analysis to evaluate new concepts and improve on existing conceptsExperience with innovative, physics-based analysis and design methodsAn understanding of aeromechanical engineering fundamentals, especially with regards to eVTOLCapability to conduct dynamics and loads engineering evaluations of vertical lift aircraft performance through analysis, test, and a combination of the twoRegular and comprehensive communication with the engineering teamExperience with rotorcraft or fixed-wing performance analysis techniquesExcellent verbal and written communication skillsProactive delivery of communication and follow-upExcellent organizational skills and attention to detailMust have the ability to independently prioritize and accomplish work within time constraintsSelf-motivated and driven personalityProficiency with MS Office SuiteYou may also be able to contribute:Master''s or Ph.D. degree in an applicable engineering fieldAny offer of employment is conditioned upon the successful completion of a background check.
