6 days ago


Laurel, Maryland, United States Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory Full time

We are seeking an experienced engineer to join our team at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in rarefied gas dynamics and aerodynamic modeling, with a focus on air-breathing inlet design for vLEO applications.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing software capable of modeling and simulating aerodynamic performance of air-breathing inlets for vLEO applications. This will involve working with a team of forward-thinking engineers to improve our capability of predicting impacts of air-breathing inlet design at vLEO.

The primary responsibility of this role will be to use rarefied gas dynamics expertise to help develop tools capable of modeling and simulating various air-breathing inlet configurations at vLEO conditions.

Key qualifications for this position include a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or another related technical discipline, as well as prior coding experience with C/C++, FORTRAN, Python, and MATLAB.

Additionally, the successful candidate will be able to obtain Interim Secret level security clearance by their start date and can ultimately obtain Secret level clearance.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including retirement plans, paid time off, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, flexible spending accounts, education assistance, and training and development.
