This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career engineer with a strong foundation in engineering fundamentals, analytical methods, and test support. You will contribute to advanced propulsion applications through computational analysis, hardware validation, and cross-functional problem solving in a highly collaborative technical environment.
Roles and Responsibilities
You will work in a team that performs research and development of fluid delivery systems in support of hypersonic air-breathing propulsion and vehicle systems. In this role you will:
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers to design, analyze, and test flowpaths for high-speed air-breathing engines, using results to inform the design of flight-ready systems.
Apply core engineering principles to technical assignments and flowpath development activities.
Lead and participate in computational analyses to guide design improvements, using both spreadsheet-based tools, propulsion deck generation tools, and leveraging results generated using CFD, FEA and multiphysics solvers.
Document and communicate assumptions, inputs, analysis methods, and proposed solutions to multidisciplinary teams for technical review.
Support the validation of new designs and technologies through test activities.
Prepare presentations and briefing materials to communicate technical ideas, project status, and recommendations.
Work effectively with Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to develop and verify design solutions that meet program objectives for technical performance, cost, and schedule.
Interact with industry partners and subcontractors to review analyses, concepts, and design approaches.
Demonstrate a working understanding of business drivers and how individual work integrates with team and program goals.
Exercise sound technical judgment within defined procedures and seek guidance from senior team members when needed.
Build effective working relationships across teams and clearly explain technical information to others.
