About the Role
This role involves designing and analyzing mechanical components and systems for experimental Hypersonic, aero-thermal test rigs. You will collaborate with engineers, develop mechanical designs using CAD, and apply engineering principles for analysis. Strong communication and documentation skills are essential for presenting designs and project progress.
Responsibilities
- Execute the design, analysis and evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and adhering to business standards, practices, procedures and program / product requirements.
- Cross functional knowledge of high-speed fluid dynamic, mechanical systems and thermal response and application to rapid development of prototype hypersonic propulsion systems
- Develop mechanical systems from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable component using 3D CAD
- Perform analyses ranging from classical textbook methods and 1D spreadsheet calculations to Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to predict structural, thermal, and/or fluidic behavior of systems/components.
- Prepare drawings to manufacture prototypes or components of an experimental setup
- Document and communicate assumptions, inputs and proposed solutions to multidisciplinary teams for review
- Support validation of new designs and technologies through benchtop or larger-scale testing
- Prepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or progress on projects
- Ability to work well in with Integrated Product Teams to create and verify novel design solutions that meet established program objectives and requirements (technical, cost, schedule)
Requirements
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited college or university
- Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
