Rotorcraft Flight Dynamics Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Job description

Job Description: AMA provides technical support to the U.S. Army’s Technology Development Directorate (TDD) at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. This work supports the development, application, and advancement of high-fidelity modeling and simulation tools used in Army rotorcraft acquisition programs, including Future Vertical Lift (FVL) . Advanced flight-dynamics modeling and analysis tools such as Gen Hel, FORECAST, and HeliUM are used to predict the responses of Army rotorcraft under various configurations and flight conditions, including real-time simulation with a pilot in the loop. They are also used to generate high-order linear models that are needed to design and optimize both flight controls and autonomy algorithms for Army rotorcraft. Such models play a critical role in reducing technical risk and informing Army rotorcraft design and acquisition decisions for both future vertical lift and for legacy fleet upgrades. About the Project: The Flight Dynamics Modeling and Simulation Engineer will support Army rotorcraft engineering efforts through the development, improvement, and application of flight-dynamics models for both legacy fleet and future vertical lift, incl...
