JetZero is an innovative company focusing on the development of ultra-efficient Blended Wing Body jets. These jets promise unprecedented performance and the potential to revolutionize aviation by significantly improving aerodynamic efficiency while reducing carbon emissions. Collaborating with the US Air Force, NASA, and the FAA, JetZero aims for entry-into-service of their aircraft by 2030. The company's ground-breaking design offers 100% SAF compatibility and the internal volume to accommodate zero-carbon hydrogen, aiming to achieve zero-emissions aviation. By adopting a naturally stable, tailless design, JetZero's planes boast reduced drag and weight, directly impacting the efficiency and environmental impact of commercial aviation.

📋 Description

• Develop, analyze, and own aircraft external loads across all phases of design, from early conceptual sizing through detailed certification-level substantiation. • Perform static and dynamic structural analyses, including maneuver, gust, ground, and environmental loading conditions. • Lead and execute flutter, aeroelastic stability, and structural dynamics analyses at the component and full-vehicle level. • Plan, execute, and post-process Ground Vibration Testing (GVT) and Structural Mode Interaction (SMI) testing and related modal testing, including model correlation and updating. • Support flight flutter testing, including pre-test analysis, real-time monitoring, and post-flight data interpretation. • Create and maintain finite element models for loads and dynamics applications, ensuring alignment with structural design assumptions and test results. • Develop and validate analysis methods, scripts, and tools to enable efficient, repeatable loads and aeroelastic assessments. • Collaborate closely with stress, structural design, flight test, and systems teams to ensure loads and dynamics assumptions are well understood and correctly applied.

🎯 Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. • Strong foundation in structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, and aircraft loads theory. • Demonstrated experience with flutter analysis, modal analysis, and external loads development for aircraft or other complex aerospace vehicles. • Proficiency with industry-standard tools such as NASTRAN-based solvers, FEM pre/post-processors, and aeroelastic analysis software. • Experience with Ground Vibration Testing (GVT), Structural Mode Interaction (SMI), or correlated test/analysis workflows. • Solid understanding of aircraft structural behavior, including composites, sandwich structures, bonded joints, and primary airframe components. • Ability to perform both hand calculations and advanced FEA, with sound engineering judgment bridging the two. • Strong scripting or automation skills (e.g., MATLAB, Python, or similar) to support loads processing, data reduction, or analysis workflows. • Comfort operating in fast-paced, multidisciplinary development environments, including flight test or prototype programs. • Excellent technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain analysis assumptions, risks, and results to diverse audiences.

🏖️ Benefits

• Unlimited PTO • 10 paid holidays • 401(k) • Medical, Dental, Life insurance • Disability Insurance • Life Insurance • Equity tax advisory services • Supportive work culture
