Engineer Systems

About the role

The position supports the creation of probabilistic hostile weapon effects using sophisticated computer tools and determining how predicted effects impact system capabilities. The position involves modeling aircraft design configurations for input into the Vulnerability Toolkit and specifically using the Computation of Vulnerable Area Tool (COVART).

Responsibilities

• Perform combat vulnerability and stress analysis to quantify the effects and consequences of combat damage on military aircraft.
• Model and analyze damaged vehicle FEMs based on Live Fire Testing results using FEMAP/NASTRAN.
• Eliminate or minimize the risk of an aircraft kill from hostile threats by coordinating with aircraft design engineers.
• Use scripting and automation coding languages (Python, MATLAB, etc.) to automate tasks and improve efficiency.
• Work with design engineers to generate creative design solutions and ensure aircraft safety.
• Create kill/fault trees to capture aircraft redundancy and perform failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline and 2 years of experience OR a Master of Science degree in a STEM discipline.
• A current active U.S. Government secret clearance (must be in-scope or enrolled in Continuous Evaluation).
• Experience with finite element modeling (FEM) using linear solvers (FEMAP/NASTRAN preferred).
• Experience using computer aided design tools (NX preferred).
• Experience in scripting and automation coding languages (Python, MATLAB, etc.).
• Experience with Airframe Structures or Subsystems in the Air Vehicle discipline.
• Experience with MS Office Suite products: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Project.

Qualifications

• Proficient understanding of critical aircraft structure with an emphasis on analyzing catastrophic structural failures.
• Experience with vulnerability analysis tools such as COVART and FASTGEN.
• Experience with creating kill/fault trees to capture aircraft redundancy.
• Experience with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA).

Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Benefits

• Flexible work arrangements, including a 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off.
• Exposure to a wide variety of projects and customers.
• A very friendly team environment.
