• Proficiency with commercial simulation tools such as Abaqus and Comsol Multiphysics.
• Familiarity with multi-scale or coupled field analysis (e.g., structural-electromagnetic, fluid-structure).
• Understanding of drone flight dynamics and mission-based performance analysis.
• Programming skills in Python, C++, or equivalent for simulation preprocessing/postprocessing.
• (Desirable) Exposure to reduced-order modelling, multi-disciplinary optimization or AI-based surrogate modelling techniques.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication and technical writing skills.
• Proactive mindset and ability to work in a multidisciplinary and collaborative environment.
• Adaptability and openness to learn new tools and methods.
• Fluency in English (and French), both oral and and written.
