Aerospace Engineer/Aeronautical Engineer(AE) performs design and aerodynamics/performance analysis for military aircraft modification programs.

Responsibilities include:

Candidates will have strong knowledge and practical experience in aircraft operations, dynamics, and controls; familiarity with MATLAB, Solidworks; experience with 3D CAD/CAM tools is a must.

Modeling of flexible dynamics (NASTRAN) exposure preferred.

Candidate must have complete familiarity with typical aerospace program design, system integration, produciability, maintainability, stress analysis requirements and procedures.

Candidate must be able to conduct stress analysis on metallic and composite structures.

Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical, Aeronautical, Aerospace, desired.

A background in aircraft structural analysis (metallic and composite), static and fatigue testing requirements and analysis, and finite element modeling (FEM) is desired.

Must be capable of applying knowledge toward solving problems of a research nature, and be capable of working alone or with a technical team in a fast-paced, rapidly changing environment where quick reaction capability (QRC) and rapid prototyping is the norm.

Must have at least five years experience.

Must be able to obtain and maintain a DoD/US Government Security Clearance.

Analyzing aerodynamics impacts due to external modifications, impacts to systems/subsystems from internal modifications, developing mission profiles based on customer requirements.

Modeling/calculating mission performance data including takeoff and landing data, and enroute performance.

Analyzing configurations using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

Will use background in dynamics, control, and aircraft operations to contribute to a number of projects in the areas of structural modification, subsystem integration, sensor systems and similar configuration changes to existing airframes.

Expected to participate in the engineering development and support of new/modified/reengineered subsytems/products within our proven phased development process, including modeling, proof of concept, and implementation, and fielded system support.

Performs stress analysis on aircraft (metallic and composite) structures.

Duties may include stress analysis using both classical and finite element modeling (FEM) analysis tools, static and fatigue test predictions and regressions, and certification/qualification report preparation.

Additional tasks may include support for wind tunnel, and aerodynamics coordination with multi-discipline teams including modification teams, logistics support, and other engineering disciplines.

Punctuality to work each day and prepared to work scheduled work hours.
