Aerospace Engineer for Concept Development
13 hours ago
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Aerospace Engineer to join our team as a Weapon System Concept Development Engineer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). As a key member of our Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) team, you will play a critical role in developing innovative solutions to revolutionize the design, analysis, and optimization of US weapon systems.
Key Responsibilities- Identify, investigate, and solve multi-disciplinary problems with respect to aerospace vehicle design and kill chain engineering.
- Conduct trade, optimization, and sensitivity studies to inform and lead concept development for the next generation of missile and/or weapon systems, including system-of-systems considerations.
- Apply yourself across a diverse work portfolio, including missile design and performance, mission planning, fire control/weapon scheduling, ballistic missile defense, anti-air warfare, hypersonic defense, defensive space control applications, and early-stage hardware design.
- Develop and apply state-of-the-art physics-based and empirical models and simulations for the conceptual design and performance estimation of U.S. and adversary weapon systems.
- Help guide technical programs to successful outcomes with clear communication to APL partners and sponsors, and identify potential future projects through sponsor engagement and internal research and development.
- PhD in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, or similar discipline.
- Familiarity with aerospace problems and focused experience in at least one system or subsystem-level discipline (e.g. vehicle design, solid/liquid propulsion, aerodynamics, guidance, seekers, trajectory optimization, etc.).
- Experience with at least one of the following advanced design methods: numerical optimization, multidisciplinary design optimization, and statistical modeling techniques such as the formal sensitivity analysis, uncertainty quantification, and surrogate/metamodeling (e.g. response surface equations, neural nets, etc.).
- Ability to codify real-world constraints into representative mathematical models which are usable within optimization algorithms, and subsequently draw meaningful conclusions from numerical results.
- Proficiency with a programming language (MATLAB, Python, C++, etc.), as well as an appetite for MATLAB programming.
- Ability to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret/SCI level clearance.
The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) brings world-class expertise to our nation's most critical defense, security, space, and science challenges. We offer a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere where you can bring your authentic self to work, continue to grow, and build strong connections with inspiring teammates. Our employees enjoy generous benefits, including a robust education assistance program, unparalleled retirement contributions, and a healthy work/life balance. APL's campus is located in the Baltimore-Washington metro area.
