Aerospace Systems Engineer: Reentry & Hypersonics

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC; Laurel (MD); In loco; USD 100.000 - 245.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) seeks an Aerospace Systems Engineer to support design assessments, performance evaluations, and data analysis for reentry systems within strategic deterrent programs.

You will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, review design and flight test data, and develop tools for modeling and visualization while preparing clear technical reports and recommendations.

Competenze

• Have a B.S. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, or another relevant engineering discipline and at least 2 years of relevant engineering experience.
• Have a solid foundation in aerodynamics, flight dynamics, mechanical systems, subsystem performance, systems engineering, or modeling and simulation.
• Have experience applying analytical methods and computational tools to engineering problems, including MATLAB, Simulink, Python, or comparable tools.
• Have demonstrated problem-solving skills and the ability to evaluate technical data and communicate conclusions.
• Are able to travel for meetings and field tests (approximately 30–35 days per year) and obtain security clearances.

Mansioni

• Conduct engineering analyses and assess the performance of reentry systems and their components.
• Review and analyze design information, production data, and ground and flight test results to understand system behavior and performance.
• Contribute to engineering trade studies and evaluations of design alternatives.
• Develop, apply, and improve modeling, simulation, data processing, and visualization tools.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to investigate technical challenges and support independent assessments for government and industry partners.
• Prepare reports and presentations that clearly communicate technical methods, findings, and recommendations.
• Support reentry system integration, test planning, and testing activities, with opportunities to participate in field tests.
• Develop technical depth through collaboration with experienced engineers across multiple aspects of the reentry system lifecycle.
