Structures Engineer, Hypersonic Air VehiclesActive$171K
The opportunity
The Air Dominance and Strike Aerostructures Engineering Team is responsible for designing and analyzing advanced structural parts for Group 5 high speed air vehicles and missile platforms. Air Dominance and Strike Structures Engineers own the full development lifecycle, from…
What you'll do
Utilize first principle methods and design tools to develop new aircraft products
Own development of primary and secondary aircraft structural parts and: assemblies (metallic and composite) from preliminary design through prototype manufacturing
Perform complex modeling and finite element analysis at the detailed: component level, major assembly level, and aircraft level (analysis simulations to include strength, buckling, damage tolerance, and delamination)
Apply design for manufacturing concepts to create solutions that are cost: effective and easy to manufacture at rate
Conduct trade studies and perform design and analysis research of complex: engineering concepts to determine an optimal solution for weight, performance, manufacturability, cost, and/or schedule
Collaborate in a multidisciplinary environment to solve complex, open-ended: problems with an emphasis on schedule and cost objectives
What they're looking for
- Experience with clean sheet aircraft configuration
- Siemens NX proficiency
- Experience with fast paced prototype design and manufacture of uncrewed aircraft
- Experience with high temperature materials selection
- Prior experience working in high speed programs
- Hands-on experience with manufacturing
- Practical aircraft knowledge (pilots license, A&P, etc.)
- Experience with thermal gradient structural analysis
