Hypersonic Design Engineer

Job Description Summary

Collaboration with multidisciplinary set of engineers to design and analyze mechanical components and systems for experimental aero-thermal test rigs. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be proficient developing mechanical designs using CAD and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components and subsystems. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Design of prototype components and subsystems for rapid development of hypersonic propulsion systems
• Design using 3D CAD and develop thermal-structural systems from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable component.
• Perform analyses ranging from 1D calculations to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to predict structural, thermal, and/or fluidic behavior of systems/components
• Prepare drawings to manufacture prototypes or components of an experimental setup
• Support validation of new designs and technologies through benchtop or larger-scale testing
• Interact with design and development teams (teams include specialists in Design, Analysis, Quality, Materials, Manufacturing) to create and verify creative design solutions that meet all requirements (technical, cost, schedule)
• Prepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or progress on projects
• Ability to work well in a team environment and coordinate between various teams and disciplines
• Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
• Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint

Required Qualifications

• Master's Degree from an accredited college or university
• 5 years design and analysis experience in high-speed aerospace propulsion industry
• Skilled in mechanical design using 3D CAD Siemens NX (Unigraphics) and Teamcenter
• Skilled with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and performing simulations in ANSYS for thermal structural analysis
• Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint
• Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
• Must be a US citizen
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Security Clearance

Desired Characteristics

• Understanding of compressible flow
• Knowledge of prototype manufacturing development processes including Additive Manufacturing (AM), and DFM, DFA and DFAM techniques
• Knowledge of GD&T and application to engineering drawings
• Experience with experimental setups and equipment in a hands-on environment
• Humble: respectful, receptive, agile, eager to learn
• Transparent: shares critical information, speaks with candor, contributes constructively
• Focused: quick learner, strategically prioritizes work, committed
• Leadership ability: strong communicator, decision-maker, collaborative
• Problem solver: analytical-minded, challenges existing processes, critical thinker

This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
