Rotordynamics Engineer

Job description

Overview As a Rotordynamics Engineer, you will play an integral role in the development of Joby's rotordynamics load criteria. This position requires a solid mathematical and engineering background in aeronautical/aerospace disciplines, with a specific focus on rotordynamics and aircraft dynamics. You will operate in a fast-paced environment, collaborating with flight physics, testing, airframe, and certification teams to solve complex issues and certify our cutting-edge VTOL aircraft. Responsibilities: Modeling & Development: Develop external loads, rotordynamic models, and aerodynamic databases for propeller/aeroelastic simulations. Analysis: Create multi-body analysis simulations and implement rotordynamic loads databases for structural and propeller design teams. Validation: Interpret experimental data to correlate and validate aircraft aeroelastic models. Testing Support: Support flight, ground, and laboratory testing for model development and empirical certification loads. Certification: Determine certification basis, establish compliance strategies, and develop/review certification-related documentation. Mentorship: Work with and mentor engineering teams across diverse aeros...
