Job Description
SPACEWORKS
At SpaceWorks Enterprises we specialize in next-generation high-speed flight systems human and robotic spacecraft as well as entry descent & landing technologies. Our core competencies include conducting preliminary design of aerospace concepts performing detailed multidisciplinary engineering analysis developing commercial aerospace software prototyping spacecraft hardware components and conducting market and economic research within the aerospace industry. We serve clients from the Department of Defense NASA and the commercial space sector.
THE ROLE
SpaceWorks is seeking aerospace engineers with a focus on designing and developing next-generation hypersonic flight vehicles Earth-to-orbit launch systems human and robotic spacecraft and space re-entry vehicles. Seeking domain expertise in one or more of the following areas -
- Flight Performance andTrajectory Optimization
- Aerodynamic Design & Analysis
- Aerothermal Modeling
A successful candidate will:
- Be well versed in hypersonic aircraft and/or spacecraft performance
- Support a small multidisciplinary team of technical staff to design complex systems
- Exhibit a can do and want to attitude - bringing an open-minded approach and a bias toward finding solutions
- Have experience supporting activities in modeling simulation and design of high-speed flight systems including endo-atmospheric re-entry and launch systems
A DAY IN THE LIFE(one of more of the following areas)
Flight Performance and Trajectory Optimization:
- Perform trajectory design and optimization using state-of-the-art 3-DOF trajectory software.
- Conduct flight performance assessments (V budgets mass margins staging trade-offs) to ensure mission objectives are met.
- Use trajectory optimization tools and methods to balance mission performance safety and system constraints.
- Perform multidisciplinary design optimization of aerospace systems.
- Develop and analyze mission trajectories including ascent orbital operations re-entry and landing phases.
Aerodynamic Design & Analysis:
- Develop and optimize aerodynamic designs from concept development and requirements definition through preliminary and detailed design.
- Conduct detailed analysis to predict and enhance aerodynamic performance.
- Utilize Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools along with lower-order methods for performance evaluation.
- Evaluate impacts of configuration changes on performance of the vehicle.
Aerothermal Modeling:
- Predict convective and radiative heating environments during ascent atmospheric flight and re-entry using CFD and engineering models.
- Assess coupled aero-thermal-structural interactions and recommend design solutions for survivability and reliability.
- Contribute to thermal environment definition for subsystem qualification and testing requirements.
