Roles and Responsibilities

As a Flight Mechanics Engineer (verification and validation), the following work area and skill sets awaits you:

1. Aircraft Flight Mechanics & Dynamics
- Test the 6-DOF nonlinear aircraft flight-dynamics models to their
- Develop mathematical models for aircraft rigid-body dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion, actuators, landing gear, and environmental effects.
- Perform aircraft trim, stability, control, and performance analyses across the flight envelope.
- Determine and analyse aerodynamic derivatives, stability derivatives, control derivatives, and propulsion characteristics.
- Perform longitudinal, lateral, and directional stability and controllability assessments.
- Analyse control-system performance, stability margins, actuator utilisation, and control authority.
- Run Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) iron-bird, and flight-test simulations.
- Compare simulation results against flight test or analytical data and generate reports.
- Design test cases, write test scripts and verification procedures etc..

2.



Modelling & Simulation
- Develop and maintain testing environments using MATLAB/Simulink, Python, C/C++, or equivalent tools.
- Test and mature the aircraft, propulsion, actuator, sensor, workplace, and flight-control models.
- Perform model correlation against wind-tunnel, component-test, ground-test, and flight-test data.
- Establish model validation processes.
- Evolve aircraft response characteristics such as Time constants, Natural frequencies, Control response, Hover and transition response etc.
- Develop and simulate failure, fault, and degraded-mode scenarios.
- Support FHA, FMEA, FTA, SSA, and system safety activities from a flight-dynamics perspective.

3. Flight-Test & Data Analysis
- Analyse flight-test data and correlate simulation predictions with actual aircraft behaviour.
- Investigate discrepancies between simulation, ground-test, and flight-test results.
