  • Aerodynamic Design and Analysis: Lead aerodynamic analysis and design efforts for air-breathing and solid rockets missile platforms across relevant flight regimes, selecting and applying first-principles reasoning, computational tools, and empirical methods as appropriate
  • Optimization of Aerodynamic Performance: Own aerodynamic trade studies to optimize vehicle performance (drag, stability, control, efficiency), assess design sensitivities, and recommend geometry changes aligned with mission-level requirements
  • Support Vehicle-Level Design: Contribute to vehicle-level configuration development, ensuring aerodynamic concepts are integrated effectively with propulsion, structures, and systems from early design through refinement
  • Testing and Validation: Plan and support wind tunnel and flight test campaigns, lead aerodynamic data reduction and interpretation, and drive design updates based on validated results

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field and 5+ years of experience
  • Proficiency in aerodynamic simulation tools and techniques at multiple fidelity levels, such as Missile Datcom, Xfoil, OpenVSP, Cart3D, and/or STAR-CCM+
  • 2+ years working with missiles or closely related vehicles
  • Strong foundation in fluid dynamics and aerodynamic principles, with experience optimizing vehicle performance
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment

Nice to have:

  • 8+ years experience
  • Hands-on experience with missile systems, UAS, or high-speed aircraft
  • Familiarity with startup or defense sector environments
  • Background in advanced manufacturing techniques and their impact on aerodynamic design
  • Experience developing aerodynamic solutions for scalable, production-ready systems
  • Experience conducting wind tunnel or flight testing and analyzing experimental data
