Job Summary

Role Overview As an MPL Engineer, you will work with design groups (systems, aerodynamics, flight mechanics), the airworthiness office, and ground and flight-test centers. You will establish the aircrafts mass properties and coordinate across technical groups to identify, estimate, and validate loads across flight regimesincluding hover, transition, and wing-borne flightas well as ground operations.
Key Responsibilities
- Mass Properties Management: Establish, track, and manage mass properties for the e200X aircraft down to the part level. Implement weight control processes and predict the weight and distribution of variable payloads (passengers, cargo).
- Loads Analysis Coordination: Identify and estimate structural loads due to ground handling, component interactions, and aerodynamic forces. Develop load cases for the airframe, rotors, and propellers in accordance with DGCA, FAA, and EASA regulations.
- Digital Twin Integration: Supply mass and structural data to simulation teams (utilizing platforms like NVIDIA Omniverse) for virtual flight physics validation.




- Trade Studies Optimization: Propose weight-reduction schemes and collaborate with design teams to execute weight-saving strategies.
- Certification Flight Test Support: Track eVTOL regulatory frameworks. Define and analyze loads for type certification, determine ballast configurations for prototype flight testing, and calculate weight and CG envelopes for mission profiles.
- Process Improvement: Evolve internal practices for mass properties and loads forecasting, integrating industry standards and data from flight tests.
Requirements
- Education: Bachelor or masters degree in aerospace engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Experience: Experience in aircraft mass properties engineering, loads prediction, or structural dynamics.
- Regulatory Knowledge: Familiarity with aviation airworthiness regulations (such as AEAC No. 1 of 2024, EASA SC-VTOL, FAA Part 23/2
