Hypersonics Engineer

Description:

Depending on your areas of interest, some of the ways you can contribute are:

• Predict and model the aerodynamic characteristics of various air-vehicle configurations including hypersonic re-entry vehicles, supersonic and hypersonic air-breathing concepts, and subsonic fixed-wing or rotorcraft unmanned air vehicles (UAVs).
• Perform multi-fidelity analysis using commercial and in-house CFD and thermal software in support of vehicle aerothermal design and analysis across various flow regimes from subsonic to hypersonic.
• Plan and execute ground tests and design models for various wind tunnel and arcjet facilities. Conduct post-test analysis to validate numerical predictions then create and improve high fidelity models.
• Design future conceptual vehicles, performing detailed multidisciplinary system analysis including integration with launch platforms.
• Optimize hypersonic propulsion designs including inlet design, flowpath analysis, system integration, test, and evaluation.
