AI generated summary

  • You need a degree in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering, 10 years or 5 years with a Master's, CAD skills (NX preferred), FEA experience, and knowledge of aerospace systems. Secret clearance needed.
  • You will design wind tunnel models, create CAD drawings, collaborate with suppliers, document engineering processes, and support aerodynamic testing and certification.

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with 10 years of relevant experience (or a Master's degree plus 5 years).
  • Ability to obtain a Secret security clearance within 6-9 months.
  • Experience with established CAD modeling software (NX preferred).
  • Experience with technical drawing preparation and checking (ASME Y14.5 preferred).
  • General engineering experience including familiarity with modeling & simulation.
  • Experience in aerodynamic analysis and design, preferably in aerospace industry.
  • Experience with established industry finite element analysis (FEA) software (e.g., PATRAN/NASTRAN) is a plus.
  • Experience performing structural analysis hand calculations.
  • Knowledge of aircraft, air-launched weapons, and aircraft suspension equipment.
  • Experience operating in LINUX/UNIX environments using scripting languages (Python, PERL, etc.).

Responsibilities

  • Support wind tunnel model design in conjunction with aerodynamic analyses.
  • Perform CAD modeling and design using NX, focusing on creating and reviewing technical drawings in accordance with ASME Y14.5 standards.
  • Build, review, and modify wind tunnel model components based on structural analysis results and communication with model fabricators.
  • Prepare and review technical drawings for use in test hardware and wind tunnel model fabrication and installation (experience with ASME Y14.5 preferred).
  • Work closely with vendors and suppliers to maintain accelerated schedules and meet critical program timelines.
  • Professionally document certification artifacts, engineering documentation (e.g., test plans, analysis results), and formal presentations.
  • Work as a member of a discipline team in a dynamic multi-tasking environment.
  • Support the aircraft/store certification process.
  • Design/direct ground tests, wind tunnel tests, and flight tests.
  • Apply modeling and simulation tools to complex, challenging, and unprecedented aerodynamic configurations.
