Mass Team Member
Role Overview
SkyDrive are looking for a passionate and talented engineer to join the Mass Properties Team. The role is multi-disciplinary and applicants must have a passion for new technology whilst working in a lean manor to help achieve program objectives and help to SkyDrive deliver a range of certified eVTOLs into the Advanced Air Mobility Eco-System.
The role will involve work across multiple aspects of Mass Property management for manned Air Mobility products, including:
- Mass property requirements capture
- Work with aircraft dynamics, aircraft performance and other teams to define the mass & CG envelope.
- Provide Mass Property information to
- Tracking
- to simulation, aircraft dynamics team and other team.
- Plan and execute Mass property validation and verification activity and show compliance.
The role will require interfacing with many disciplines, including System design, Structure design, EWIS (Electrical wiring interconnection system), Flight Characteristics, Loads, Simulation, as well as requirements management and a variety of activities to support achieving certification.
The successful candidate will form a part of a small technical team and requires good interpersonal skills (in a multilingual environment), strong work ethic, efficient self-management, passion to learn new skills and help develop others
Responsibilities
- Provide technical support to all Mass Properties Management.
- Active participation in terms of Mass Properties in order to improve design and aircraft performance.
- Work with Structure design and system design to manage Mass Properties.
- Support aircraft level integration by providing knowledge and expertise to support the activities of other technical teams.
- Positively participate in management of mass property requirement, from capture, through V&V and compliance for certification.
- Apply best practice by combining knowledge from conventional aerospace and new approaches for eVTOL. Emphasis on the needs of a lean start-up culture with novel designs and unique operational characteristics.
- To build an environment including tool in which the center of gravity can be managed in any aircraft configuration during flight test campaign.
