A career at Horizon is for those who want to do something extraordinary, yet with meaningful purpose. We take pride in pushing the boundaries of technology and customer experience to deliver something that has never been done before. We are a fast-moving organization that promotes a hands-on approach, supporting each other through the tough spots, generating a close-knit team with a family feel.
What we do here is hard, but then very few things worth achieving are easy. By joining Horizon, you will have the opportunity to work with our world-class entrepreneurial team who are passionate about delivering something special.
What we need you to bring.
Horizon is seeking an open, enthusiastic, experienced Principle Engineer – Analysis (Stress) to support the development of our next-generation aircraft from concept through flight test, certification and entry into service.
The Principle Stress Analysis Engineer will be responsible for the structural analysis, verification, and certification of primary and secondary aircraft structures. This role will provide technical leadership in the assessment of airframe strength, stiffness, durability, damage tolerance, and structural integrity while working closely with Design Engineering, Loads & Dynamics, Flight Sciences, Materials & Processes, Manufacturing, Test, and Certification teams.
The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring that the aircraft structure meets all performance, safety, weight, and airworthiness requirements while supporting the overall structural development strategy of the program.
Your Day-to-Day
As part of the team, you will tackle challenges and deliver something that has never been done before. The team is currently full of multi-skilled individuals. Come join our growing team in Montreal! You will be one of the first specialist engineers to join us, which provides significant latitude in developing our working methods alongside needs of developing the platform.
Our Benefits.
People are the heart of our success, and we like to provide transparency in the way we operate. This is why our benefits are beyond the normal, and we are constantly trying to improve these further.
If you have a passion for aerospace and eVTOL, and want to work on challenging and rewarding projects, please apply today!
Location.
This role will be based in the Montreal area, with occasional travel to our main hangar in Lindsay, Ontario required. We offer relocation allowances in appropriate cases.
Not Quite Your Profile?
We would love for you to apply even if you have not met all the experience listed in this advert. We understand everyone’s career is unique and we welcome opportunities to broaden our knowledge in an open, diverse and inclusive way.
