Hello Noemi,

From sea to sky, from Norway to the world. At Elfly Group, we’re building the future of coastal mobility through the Noemi, the world’s first fully electric seaplane. Our versatile, 9 passenger electric seaplanes can also move up to one tonne of cargo - quietly and with no emissions. City harbor to city harbor? Easy. We’re amphibious too - requiring only short distances for takeoff and landing at traditional airports.

Elfly is a growing startup company with a multinational team of twentyfive employees. With us you will experience startup life where your voice will matter and days fly by. At least that’s how we feel about it :-)

Main responsibilities:

• Conducting design trades, optimizations for final product configuration definitions considering safety, strength, weight, & producibility
• Extraction and utilization of finite element analysis internal loads data
• Detailed sizing, static, dynamic, damage tolerance, and modal analysis of major structural aircraft components utilizing both classical hand calculations and finite element analysis
• Composite ply stack optimization for weight reduction while maintaining manufacturing constraints
• Supporting design reviews and signing off on structural parts
• Overseeing and supporting structural tests, including definition, planning, requirements, and report writing
• Directly communicating with IPTs, design team, CVEs, and integration teams

What we believe you bring:

• B.S. in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or another relevant discipline
• 5+ years of working experience in relevant industry
• In-depth understanding of loading scenarios, free body diagrams, and structural behavior of aircraft components
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Highly proactive attitude with the ability to manage multiple assignments
  Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Advanced proficiency in finite element analysis, including nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of composite structures or metallic structures
• Ability to generate and review detailed analysis reports and aircraft type certification documents

• Ability to work as part of a team in a fast-paced dynamic environment
  
• A collaborative, flexible, and all-around awesome person 😊

Why join Elfly?

• Be at the forefront of electric aviation – shaping the future of sustainable, regional air travel.
• Work in a dynamic, ambitious startup with a mission-driven, passionate team.
• Lead a clean-sheet aircraft design – from early development to certification and production.
