Our client, based in the UAE, is the first of its kind in the Gulf region. The company aims to develop the technology and capability to meet both the military and commercial aerospace vehicle requirements of the future. Their work will strengthen ties between the civilian and military sectors as well as the industrial and technical communities, acting as the incubator for new unmanned systems programs.
The company will have as its principal activities in the design, development, manufacturing and integration of unmanned aerial vehicle system (UAV/UAS). The business vision is to achieve the capabilities to provide services for any type of UAV/UAS, Fixed Wing, Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL), but with a view to moving to Advance Ground Vehicles (AGV) as well as Sea Vehicles (SV) also and thus become a globally recognised brand. Our client has chosen us, a strategic partner of choice, to build a national pool of research talent, engineers and scientists to give them the means to fulfil their potential. Strategically the long term goals include: Addressing changes in the market environment, and to develop plans that will meet their aspirations and objectives. Focusing on application of technologies to meet potentially large markets needs. In particular, it will develop new ideas and concepts that have the potential to provide good business opportunities beyond current programs. Fostering productive relationships with major international companies through partnerships for the development of joint technology strategies, new concepts, programs and technologies that will set apart the business from others in this domain. The company will also interface with external organisations on technology/research matters including universities. Developing complex technology programs, integrating the efforts of a multidisciplinary team covering all aspects of technology and design associated with UAV/UAS. This includes the ability to rapidly demonstrate new ideas, utilising rapid prototyping facilities and processes. Developing the capability to design and test-fly demonstrator systems in order to demonstrate UAV/UAS capability and technology. This activity is centred on a secure assembly and test facility. Establishing a modern, reliable and efficient manufacturing capability in the UAE and also meet the industry highest standards Providing global logistical and operational support to its customers to meet the challenge of providing better products and services, often in innovative ways.
As an engineer in the field of UAV/UAS, this is a real opportunity to place your “stamp” onto a product, platform or system, that you WILL see fly. Due to the restricted nature of the project, further information will be provided upon application, plus direct conversations with existing placements within the company. We offer excellent compensation and a full range of benefits that start your first day on the job. Job Summary Perform structural analysis of aerospace vehicles and components, including loads, stress, and dynamic simulations. Solve problems using classical techniques as well as finite element analysis and in-house dynamics codes. Develop and/or modify structural models for manned and unmanned flight vehicles. Determine vehicle response to multiple dynamic inputs, including aerodynamics, engines, thrusters, pyrotechnics, gravity, and other inputs. Support senior level engineers in more advanced projects. Work as part of a small team on multiple projects. Specific duties will include: •Modal (flex body) analysis of aerospace vehicles Generate dynamic forcing functions for structural modeling Pre-launch and in-flight vehicle loads development Assembly and integration of structural models across a system Interface to visualization tools
Key Candidate Requirements Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or relevant years of experience is required Experience with finite element analysis tools, specifically PATRAN / NASTRAN, is preferred. Good communication skills are essential.
