We at Volocopter are the pioneers of electric air taxis, i.e. aircraft that take off and land vertically (eVTOLs). We bring urban air mobility to life, by getting air taxis and drones off the gorund in a way that complements current transportation options in megacities across the globe. Our aim is to offer affordable on-demand air taxi services that fly people to their destination quickly and safely. In 2011 we performed the first-ever piloted flight of a purely electric multicopter and have since showcased numerous public flights with our full-scale VoloCity aircrafts (www.volocopter.com).

Your mission during this flight:

 As an Aeroelasticity Engineer in Flight Science, you ensure that the aircraft design presents healthy dynamic characteristics such as aeroelastic stability and acceptable levels of dynamic loads and vibration

• You perform aeroelastic stability analysis (flutter, whirl-flutter, divergence)
• You perform aeroservoelastic stability analysis (open and closed-loop)
• You perform dynamic response analysis (dynamic loads and vibration, in frequency and time domain)
• You develop and validate dynamic models, tools and processes (airframe, rotors, unsteady aerodynamics, control system)
• You integrate system models into the dynamic analyses process (including identification and linearization)
• You specifically, assist and examine ground and flight tests (ground vibration test, loads calibration, loads survey, flutter test, vibration survey)
• You perform data analysis to generate aircraft vibration information
• You prepare and review certification documents (certification plans, analysis reports, test proposals/results)
• You participate actively with other teams to provide aircraft level aeroelasticity information

Check in your professional skills:

• Mechanical, Control or Aerospace Engineering degree (MSc, Ph.D.)
• Minimum 4 years of professional experience in aeroelasticity and structural dynamics
• Demonstrated experience with dynamic analysis FEM tools (Nastran, Femap, Patran, HyperWorks)
• Assured knowledge in simulation and data analysis tools (Matlab, Python)
• Previous involvement in the certification process and applicable requirements
• Demonstrated experience with dynamic analysis FEM tools (Nastran, Femap, Patran, HyperWorks)
