Senior Manager, Loads & Dynamics

Deep Loads & Dynamics Expertise: Significant experience defining loads for complex aerospace, maritime, or hybrid vehicles, including ownership of load cases used for structural design and certification. - Experience Building or Owning a Vehicle Loads Basis: You’ve led or directly contributed to a Vehicle Loads Document (or equivalent), with clear traceability to requirements and use in substantiation and/or certification. - Leadership and Team-Building Experience: Proven ability to lead technical teams - setting direction, mentoring engineers, and building a high-performing group. You’re comfortable operating as both a hands-on contributor and a manager, especially in early-stage or scaling environments. - Strong Foundation in Aeroelasticity and Structural Dynamics: Experience with flutter risk identification, modal analysis, dynamic response, and test planning (e.g., GVT), and how these influence loads definition. - Experience in Regulated, Certification-Driven Environments: Familiarity working with certification or classification bodies (FAA, EASA, Lloyd’s Register, or similar), including developing compliance approaches and supporting technical discussions. - Fluency in Loads Workflows and Toolchains: Strong understanding of CFD-to-loads mapping, integration with FEM/FEA tools (e.g., Nastran), and how loads outputs are consumed by Structures. - Validation and Correlation Mindset: Experience tying together simulation, analysis, and test data into a coherent validation strategy, including model calibration and documentation for defensibility. - Clear and Effective Communication: Able to translate complex loads and dynamics concepts into clear, actionable insights for cross-functional teams, leadership, and external stakeholders. ## Who We’re Looking For:

Collaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You partner effectively across engineering, certification, and leadership to align on requirements, risk, and execution. You bring clarity to complex discussions and ensure teams are working from a shared understanding of system behavior and certification goals. - Creative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex, system-level challenges and bringing structure to ambiguity. You don’t just react to gaps - you identify where assumptions, models, or processes are breaking down and build scalable solutions that improve how the organization defines and uses loads. - Adaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, evolving environment, you balance rigor with speed. You know when to introduce structure and when to simplify, helping the team move forward without losing sight of safety and certification requirements. You remain calm and decisive in the face of uncertainty. - Innovative Mindset: You’re driven by curiosity and a passion for building safe, high-performance systems. You continuously look for ways to improve loads methodologies, toolchains, and cross-team workflows - raising the bar for how the organization understands and manages physical risk. ## What We Offer:

Competitive compensation including a robust equity incentive plan to reward your contributions to our success. - Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance - we cover 100% of your premiums (including dependents!). - 401(k) with company matching, so you can plan for the future. - Generous flexible time off, paid parental leave, and company-wide holiday breaks. - Relocation packages available for those moving to join our team. - Daily, free catered lunches
