Job Description
Job Description Summary
Collaboration with multidisciplinary set of engineers to design and analyze mechanical components and systems for experimental aero-thermal test rigs. To accomplish the given tasks you must be proficient developing mechanical designs using CAD and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components and subsystems. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering process leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities:
- Ability to understand engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
- Design of prototype components and subsystems for rapid development of hypersonic propulsion systems
- Design using 3D CAD and develop thermal-structural systems from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable component.
- 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.
- Document and communicate assumptions inputs and proposed solutions to multidisciplinary teams for review
- Prepare drawings to manufacture prototypes or components of an experimental setup
- 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)
