VEL - Addetto/a analisi aeromeccaniche e progettazione leggi di controllo

Job Description:

Leonardo is an international industrial group, among the world's leading companies in Aerospace, Defense and Security, creating multi-domain technological capabilities in Helicopters, Aircraft, Aerostructures, Electronics, Cyber Security and Space. With over 60,000 employees worldwide, the company has a strong industrial presence in Italy, the United Kingdom, Poland, the United States, and operates in 150 countries also through subsidiaries, joint ventures and participations. A protagonist in major global strategic programs, it is a technological and industrial partner of Governments, Defense Administrations, Institutions and companies.

Leonardo is one of the strategic industrial partners of the GCAP (Global Combat Air Programme), together with the British BAE Systems and the Japanese Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, aimed at the development and realization of a new-generation air system, defined as a “system of systems.” Used for multi-domain defense operations, the system will feature a “core platform” connected with other peripheral “adjunct” systems, both piloted and unpiloted.

This program, among the most challenging and futuristic for the aerospace and defense industry, will drive the technological revolution that will characterize the sector in the next fifty years. A challenge aimed at strengthening the technological and industrial sovereignty of the countries involved, because it aims to identify and make available innovative, enabling technologies that will ensure a generational leap, generating positive returns and economic and social progress for the entire country system, benefiting new generations.

The resources working on this program will have the opportunity to access a professional growth path in an international and technologically advanced context.

Within the Aircraft Technologies & Systems Unit, we are looking for an Aeromechanical analysis and control law design specialist for our office in Turin / Venegono Superiore (VA).

Framed within the “Flight Mechanics, Control Laws & Performance” unit, in the context of Fighters / Trainers / GCAP programs, the resource we are looking for will be responsible for the following activities, reporting to the Team Leader:

• definition, management, updating and integration of aeromechanical calculation/simulation models

• analysis of aircraft flight qualities and demonstration of compliance with applicable regulations
