Role Overview
As an MPL Engineer you will work with design groups (systems aerodynamics flight mechanics) the airworthiness office and ground and flight-test centers. You will establish the aircrafts mass properties and coordinate across technical groups to identify estimate and validate loads across flight regimesincluding hover transition and wing-borne flightas well as ground operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Mass Properties Management: Establish track and manage mass properties for the e200X aircraft down to the part level. Implement weight control processes and predict the weight and distribution of variable payloads (passengers cargo).
- Loads Analysis & Coordination: Identify and estimate structural loads due to ground handling component interactions and aerodynamic forces. Develop load cases for the airframe rotors and propellers in accordance with DGCA FAA and EASA regulations.
- Digital Twin Integration: Supply mass and structural data to simulation teams (utilizing platforms like NVIDIA Omniverse) for virtual flight physics validation.
- Trade Studies & Optimization: Propose weight-reduction schemes and collaborate with design teams to execute weight-saving strategies.
- Certification & Flight Test Support: Track eVTOL regulatory frameworks. Define and analyze loads for type certification determine ballast configurations for prototype flight testing and calculate weight and CG envelopes for mission profiles.
- Process Improvement: Evolve internal practices for mass properties and loads forecasting integrating industry standards and data from flight tests.
Requirements
Qualifications
- Education: Bachelors or masters degree in aerospace engineering Mechanical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
- Experience: Experience in aircraft mass properties engineering loads prediction or structural dynamics.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with aviation airworthiness regulations (such as AEAC No. 1 of 2024 EASA SC-VTOL FAA Part 23/27 or DGCA equivalents).
- Technical Tools: Proficiency with CAD/PLM software alongside engineering tools such as MATLAB Python or mass properties tracking software.
Must-Have Qualifications
- Bachelors or Masters degree in aerospace Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering.
- 2-4 years of experience in mass properties loads analysis or structural engineering.
- Proficiency in finite element analysis (FEA) and loads generation software (e.g. MSC Nastran Patran ANSYS).
- Strong understanding of flight performance aircraft static/dynamic loads aeroelasticity and composite material structures.
- Experience extracting and managing mass data using modern CAD/PLM systems (e.g. Siemens NX Teamcenter CATIA).
- Familiarity with aviation regulatory frameworks and certification standards (DGCA EASA or FAA).
- Hands-on knowledge of aircraft mass property determination for design and flight tests.
Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Specific experience working on eVTOL/VCA rotor craft or airplane.
- Programming skills (Python MATLAB or C) to automate data processing and loads script generation.
- Experience with digital twin environments or advanced simulation validation.
