• 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
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.
