ARENGY is an Engineering and Recruiting Services Company operating in the Middle East from Dubai and Abu Dhabi (UAE). Our customers are some of the most successful industry leaders around the globe.
Job Description
We are hiring a Flying Qualities and Aircraft Modeling/Simulation Engineer to work on new Aircraft Development project. It is a permanent position with our customer based in UAE.
Responsibilities:
• Aircraft Modeling: develop and validate UAV (fixed wing and multicopter) 6-DOF simulation models, including aerodynamics, propulsion, systems and environment
• Flying Qualities Analysis: evaluate aircraft behavior in static and dynamic simulations, verifying requirements and aircraft robustness
• Process Automation: improve simulation and model validation automation
• Aircraft Sizing: support conceptual and preliminary design for flying qualities perspective, such as stability and controllability requirements
• Flight Test Support and Data Analysis: propose UAV flight test points to evaluate flying qualities and control law. Analyze flight test data to find aircraft problems and improvements
• Model Adjustment: correct modeling database based on flight test results
• Project Management: Taking ownership of tasks while adhering to deadlines and budgets.
Required qualifications
Qualifications:
• Bachelor's Degree: A bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field is required. A master's degree is a plus.
• Experience: Minimum of 5 years of experience in flying qualities or aircraft modeling and simulation (preference for 10+ years).
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Matlab/Simulink. Python programming is a plus
• System Modeling: Strong understanding of dynamic system modeling and simulation tools, specially aircraft-related systems (propulsion, sensors and actuators). Experience in rotary wing modeling will be considered a bonus.
• Aerodynamics: able to understand and have a critical evaluation of aerodynamic coefficients from wind tunnel and CFD analysis, implement and validate them in the flying qualities model
• Aircraft Design Phases: Familiarity with Aircraft Design Phases (conceptual, preliminary, and detail)
• Problem-Solving Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills to diagnose and resolve complex aerodynamic issues.
• Team Player: Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively within cross-functional teams.
• Adaptability: Ability to adapt to changing project requirements and priorities in a fast-paced aerospace environment.
