Job Description

Onsite in Trenton, NJ, Everforth seeks an experienced Aeromechanics Engineer to lead rotor dynamics and aerodynamics analyses for rotary-wing aircraft, integrating CFD/FEA, flight dynamics, and design optimization.

Responsibilities

Develop, validate, and apply rotor dynamics models to forecast rotor response, loads, stability margins, and vibration for rotary-wing platforms.
Conduct aerodynamic analyses with CFD to characterize rotor and airframe flows, rotor wake interactions, and unsteady aerodynamics.
Perform finite element analysis (FEA) to assess structural response, stress distribution, and modal behavior of rotor components and related subsystems.
Incorporate flight dynamics and control considerations into aeromechanics studies to evaluate handling qualities, stability, and overall performance.
Lead design trade studies and optimization efforts to improve rotor efficiency, reduce noise, and enhance durability.
Assist in ground and flight test planning, instrumentation setup, data analysis, and correlation between test results and simulation predictions.
Prepare bid and proposal content, detailing scope, technical approach, and effort estimates; support business development during bidding cycles.
Author and present technical reports, white papers, and peer‑reviewed publications; represent Everforth at conferences and technical forums.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams across structures, controls, propulsion, and systems engineering, and mentor junior engineers to deliver integrated solutions.
Stay current with emerging rotorcraft aeromechanics methods and tools, recommending process improvements and best practices.

Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field; PhD preferred for senior roles.
Proven expertise in rotor dynamics with hands-on experience modeling rotor systems and predicting aeroelastic behavior.
Strong background in aerodynamics and CFD for rotorcraft applications; experience with ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or equivalent.
Proficient in finite element analysis (FEA) using Nastran, Abaqus, or equivalent software for structural and modal analyses.
Experience with flight dynamics of rotary-wing aircraft, including handling qualities analysis and coupled rotor-airframe dynamics simulations.
Practical rotary-wing experience (military or commercial helicopter programs) with familiarity of rotorcraft subsystems and flight test operations.
Proven track record preparing bids and proposals, including developing technical approaches, estimating effort, and responding to RFPs.
Published research in peer‑reviewed journals or conference proceedings related to aeromechanics or rotorcraft aerodynamics.
Strong programming and scripting skills (MATLAB, Python, C/C++ or equivalent) for model development, data processing, and automation.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to present technical material to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
5+ years of relevant industry or research experience preferred; demonstrated ability to lead technical tasks and contribute to multidisciplinary projects.
