Aerospace Engineer

Responsibilities

Arcfield is seeking a mechanical and aerospace engineer to support our strategic programs work in Colorado Springs. Arcfield has supported our U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) customer by performing research, development, analysis, modeling, simulation, and testing to assess weapon system performance and qualify weapon systems for normal and hostile environments for over 60 years. We provide support in the areas of programmatic and systems engineering, engineering and scientific analysis, and operational systems support for Navy SSP’s strategic reentry systems. We utilize both COTS and in-house developed software to deliver analysis results and software models of reentry systems and weapons effects to Navy SSP.

The mechanical and aerospace engineer level III will be responsible for supporting the maintenance and development of our legacy in-house developed software tools and providing technical analysis of reentry system performance in hostile and normal reentry environments. This analysis can include modeling the environments, and analyzing complex materials and structures and dynamic response of structures subjected to hypersonic aerodynamic loads and system responses to thermal and shock environments.

Key responsibilities include

• Work in a team environment to plan and accomplish project goals and objectives
• Development and maintenance of in-house developed software programs and tools (FORTRAN, C++, Python)
• Support vehicle performance evaluations in hostile and atmospheric reentry environments with advanced computer modeling techniques
• Analyze, interpret, and assess simulation results
• Publish summary reports documenting results
• Write plans, reports, and presentations
• Present results to DoD customer and external reviewers
• Travel to meetings at national laboratories and customer sites

Qualifications

Required

• BS 5-7 Years, MS 3-5, PhD 0-2
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Top-Secret clearance
• Degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials science, software engineering, or related field.
• Experience with developing and running advanced computer models and software tools
• Experience with engineering analysis codes and techniques
• Experience with FORTRAN, C++, Matlab, and/or Python
• Experience with data analysis and statistical modeling methods
• Experience with writing plans and reports and briefing technical results

Preferred

• Experience in the nuclear weapons complex (either DoD or DOE)
• Experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD)
• Experience with Finite Element Modeling (FEM)
• Experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
