• Own and define the full-vehicle loads and aeroelastic analysis strategy from clean-sheet development through production and flight test • Establish and govern aerodynamic and structural load envelopes, including maneuver, gust, landing, ground, and mission-driven load cases • Lead both quasi-static and dynamic loads analyses, including transient and coupled aeroelastic assessments • Serve as the technical authority for V-n diagrams, load factors, and structural load path definition across the aircraft • Define and review loads modeling approaches using NASTRAN, FEMAP, MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or equivalent environments • Drive aeroelastic stability evaluations including divergence, flutter, control reversal, and load alleviation strategies • Partner closely with Aero and GNC teams to ensure loads assumptions align with flight control laws, mission profiles, and aircraft performance objectives • Establish traceability standards across loads models, ICDs, FEA inputs, and certification artifacts • Define and oversee loads correlation strategy, including strain gauge placement, instrumentation planning, and in-flight data reconciliation • Review and approve loads deliverables for design reviews, compliance documentation, and executive technical decision forums • Mentor and technically guide loads and aeroelastic engineers across the organization • Develop and standardize loads methodologies, automation frameworks, and internal tools to scale capability across programs
