Aircraft Performance Engineer

We are seeking an Aircraft Performance Engineer that will be responsible for conducting aircraft performance analyses and supporting aircraft configuration design improvements, in accordance with company and regulatory requirements, with other engineering disciplines. You will develop and/or update processes and tools as necessary for the aircraft. This position also includes to join and support test campaign of POC articles from aircraft performance aspect to conduct engineering analysis and to identify/resolve issues. This is an on-site position in San Luis Obispo County, California.

Duties:

• Analyze aircraft performance for nominal and failure scenarios, and produce engineering report documents.
• Develop and extend performance analysis tools and processes to continue to build efficiency and
• capability going forward.
• Make requirements for Flight Science related systems (e.g., for electrical power units like battery and/or
• generator, flight controls, etc.)
• Collaborating with all related engineering teams on technical matters (e.g., aerodynamics, safety, mass,
• stability&control, structure, and systems).
• Working with engineers to develop the new aircraft design concept and the safety strategy during normal and
• emergency operation.
• In test campaign, predict flight/ground test results and compare the prediction to test data to identify and
• resolve issues.
