Composite Structures Engineer

About us :

We are a deep tech startup focusing on the development of aero engines and turbines for defence and energy applications. We are a dynamic team of aerospace enthusiasts. We are a passionate group focusing on scientific first principles-based analysis and development followed by rapid hardware iterations. This is a fast paced work environment and demands quick execution and tangible results in a short period of time. As part of our work, our team also needs to interface with concepts of aircraft design and propulsion system integration. This role gives a great opportunity to learn about airframe design, testing and flight validation along with propulsion system integration for high speed military applications.

Responsibilities :

• Perform structural analysis of composite structures and rapid design iterations for high-speed airframes. Demonstrate clear understanding of aircraft design concepts and structural analysis especially for high speed military applications
• Calculate aerodynamic stresses as a function of aircraft manoeuvres
• Perform calculations of aero-structure interaction loads, static and dynamic loads, stresses and fatigue using analytical methods as well as detailed FEA models. Implement efficient optimization workflows for rapid design iterations.
• Collaborate with other team members and account for interdependencies of different components on airframe integration and resulting performance and impact on weight.
• Determine dynamic properties of composite structures to estimate damaging modes of operations. Carry out modal analysis and evaluate aerodynamic flutter at high speed conditions.
• Assist in designing vibration experiments, analysing data. Coordinate with manufacturing team with aspects related to composites manufacturing

Qualifications :

master's preferred.
