Job Details

Required Skills:

• 3–5+ years of relevant aerodynamics or aerospace engineering experience
• BS or higher degree in Aerospace Engineering (Master's preferred for supersonic/hypersonic work)
• Experience with aerodynamic analysis techniques including:
• Hand calculations
• Low-order methods
• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Strong experience with Star-CCM+ (Siemens)
• US3D (government CFD code) is acceptable/interchangeable
• Experience working in supersonic and/or hypersonic flow regimes
• Understanding of aerothermodynamics, thermal, and heat transfer concepts in high-speed environments
• Experience with stability and control analysis, aerodynamic loads generation, and/or aircraft performance modeling
• Experience supporting wind tunnel testing (planning, execution, analysis)
• Proficiency in higher-level programming languages such as MATLAB and/or Python for analysis and internal tool development

Nice to Have:

• Master's degree strongly preferred for supersonic-focused roles
• Hypersonics experience (PhD common but not required
• Experience with:
• Aerothermal / thermal analysis at high Mach numbers
• Trajectory optimization for vehicle trade studies and sensitivities
• Laminar, transitional, and turbulent high-speed flow modeling
• Chemical kinetics or combustion CFD (bonus)
• Experience on real flight systems (modern fighter jets, missile programs, or government laboratory work)
• Aerospace & Defense industry background
• Broad systems-level understanding (less siloed, cross-discipline mindset)
