Experience and user-level ability and skills in CAD, USAGE Blast modeling software (BlastX), Graphing/plotting, and office productivity software.
Compensation & Benefits:
Estimated Starting Salary Range for Engineer – Junior to Mid-level: $95k - $150K
Pay commensurate with experience.
Full time benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401K, and other possible benefits as provided. Benefits are subject to change with or without notice.
Engineer – Junior to Mid-level Responsibilities Include:
- Assist in research, development, testing, and evaluation of forced entry, ballistic, vehicle anti-ram, and blast-resistant technologies, materials, designs, and construction systems.
- Provide input on design standards, protective materials, and construction methods for existing structures, buildings under construction, and new building designs.
- Support the design and construction of blast-resistant buildings and the implementation of blast mitigation measures for existing facilities.
- Contribute to the development and improvement of anti-ram vehicle barriers and structural elements that enhance forced entry and ballistic resistance.
- Offer guidance on blast effect vulnerabilities and protective designs for existing and new structures.
- Participate in technical support for blast mitigation testing and related field activities.
- Utilize structural engineering research methods to support the design and construction of blast-resistant infrastructure.
- Perform computer modeling of structural responses to dynamic loading events.
- Apply software tools such as CAD, BlastX (USACE), graphing/plotting programs, and standard office productivity software.
- Lead research and development efforts in physical protection systems for overseas facilities against terrorist attacks.
- Design and oversee implementation of blast-resistant structures for both new construction and upgrades to existing buildings.
- Develop and evaluate anti-ram vehicle barrier systems to improve standoff distances from potential explosive threats.
- Design advanced structural elements to enhance protection against forced entry and ballistic threats.
- Provide technical guidance on blast vulnerabilities and protective solutions for both existing and in-design facilities.
- Deliver support during blast testing activities and interpret results for application to real-world structures.
- Conduct advanced structural modeling and simulations related to dynamic and blast loading using specialized software.
- Maintain working knowledge and practical use of CAD, BlastX (USACE), graphing/plotting tools, and general office software.
- Collaborate with industry committees and standards bodies; active membership in ASCE’s Blast, Shock, and Vibratory Committee and ASTM is preferred.
- Performs other job-related duties as assigned
