Original job description

Description

Are you an experienced aerospace engineer passionate about solving challenging problems in missile system design, performance analysis, and hypersonic flight?

Do you enjoy applying your technical expertise to complex engineering challenges, leading multidisciplinary analysis efforts, and developing innovative solutions that influence the design and performance of advanced flight systems?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

We are seeking a Senior Missile Performance & Flight Systems Engineer to provide technical leadership in the modeling, simulation, and performance assessment of missile systems and hypersonic vehicles. In this role, you will lead complex engineering analyses, guide system-level trade studies, and contribute to conceptual design and development efforts supporting critical national security missions.

You will work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams, government sponsors, and industry partners to evaluate system performance, investigate technical challenges, and develop independent engineering assessments that inform important design and program decisions. You will also have opportunities to shape the development of advanced modeling and simulation capabilities, mentor other engineers, and participate in missile system integration, testing, and evaluation activities.

As a Senior Missile Performance & Flight Systems Engineer, you will...

Lead complex modeling, simulation, and performance analysis efforts supporting the design, development, and evaluation of missile systems and hypersonic vehicles.
Direct system-level trade studies and conceptual design analyses, evaluating alternative configurations, technologies, and operational approaches to inform engineering decisions.
Develop, enhance, and apply advanced missile and flight system simulation tools to assess vehicle performance, characterize system behavior, and investigate technical challenges.
Provide technical leadership in the evaluation of missile system performance, including flight dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance and control, and related engineering disciplines.
Lead and contribute to missile test and evaluation activities, including test planning, preflight predictions, test operations, and post-flight performance assessments.
Serve as a trusted technical advisor to government sponsors and industry partners, providing independent engineering assessments, identifying technical risks, and recommending approaches to resolve complex system performance challenges.
Lead multidisciplinary technical investigations, coordinating analysis efforts across engineering disciplines to address challenging system-level problems.
Prepare and present technical findings, engineering assessments, and recommendations to government sponsors, program leadership, and other technical stakeholders.
Guide the development and application of new analytical methods, modeling capabilities, and computational tools to advance the team’s technical capabilities.
Mentor and provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers, fostering technical excellence and the development of specialized expertise.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

Have a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, with at least 10 years of relevant professional engineering experience.
Have substantial technical experience in one or more missile or aerospace flight system engineering disciplines, including modeling and simulation, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, guidance, navigation and control, propulsion, or system performance analysis.
Have demonstrated experience leading complex technical analyses, system-level trade studies, or engineering investigations involving multidisciplinary teams.
Have a strong background in the development and application of computational models and simulations to evaluate aerospace vehicle performance.
Have strong programming and computational skills, including proficiency with MATLAB, Python, or similar engineering analysis environments.
Have demonstrated the ability to exercise independent technical judgment, evaluate competing design considerations, and develop defensible engineering recommendations.
Have experience communicating complex technical findings and recommendations to technical leadership, customers, or other stakeholders.
Have demonstrated success collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams and external technical partners.
Have strong written and verbal communication skills and an interest in mentoring and developing other engineers.
Are willing and able to travel occasionally to attend meetings or field tests at government and contractor sites (approximately 10–20 days per year).
Are comfortable working in closed-area facilities.
Hold an active Secret security clearance and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret security clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

Have an M.S. or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical discipline, with 12+ years of relevant engineering experience.
Have extensive experience in missile system or hypersonic vehicle performance analysis, conceptual design, or advanced modeling and simulation.
Have demonstrated technical leadership of major engineering analysis efforts, including responsibility for technical approaches, analytical methods, and delivery of independent assessments to government sponsors.
Have experience developing and applying high-fidelity three-degree-of-freedom (3DoF) or six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) flight simulations.
Have experience using trajectory optimization or optimal control software packages such as OTIS, POST, or GPOPS.
Have experience developing engineering simulation tools using Simulink, C/C++, or other advanced computational environments.
Have experience evaluating missile system design trades involving vehicle configuration, aerodynamics, propulsion, guidance and control, or subsystem integration.
Have experience supporting missile or hypersonic flight test programs, including preflight performance predictions and post-flight data analysis.
Have experience with missile system or subsystem design, development, and integration
