You will work with the modeling team to create simulations and analysis frameworks for collecting and presenting critical design data. You will collaborate with the Aircraft, Safety, Avionics, Loads, Performance, and Rotor Dynamics teams to identify deficiencies and refine the aircraft design. You will work with test pilots to define desirable handling and flying characteristics, participate in mission planning, scenario simulations, and provide in-person support during envelope expansion flight testing.
