About The Position

SpaceWorks is seeking aerospace engineers with a focus on designing and developing next-generation hypersonic flight vehicles, Earth-to-orbit launch systems, human and robotic spacecraft, and space re-entry vehicles. Seeking domain expertise in Aerodynamics. A successful candidate will support a small multidisciplinary team of technical staff to design complex systems, exhibit a "can do" and "want to" attitude - bringing an open-minded approach and a bias toward finding solutions, and have experience supporting activities in modeling, simulation, and design of high-speed flight systems including endo-atmospheric, re-entry, and launch systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering
• 2+ years of relevant experience, includes time in internships and research
• Contributing technically as an engineer primarily within concept development, requirements definition, preliminary design, and detailed design
• Experience in the design/modeling of hypersonic atmospheric vehicles, Earth-to-orbit launch systems, or human & robotic spacecraft
• Experience in multidisciplinary design optimization
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary, collaborative environment with ownership and autonomy typical of a small business
• Hands-on experience with trajectory optimization software, CFD tools, MATLAB/Simulink, or equivalent simulation platforms
• Must be a U.S. citizen and be immediately eligible to obtain a DoD Secret Security Clearance

Nice To Haves

• High level disciplinary experience with multidisciplinary analysis and optimization of high-speed flight and/or launch vehicle design
• Experience in relevant aerospace-oriented, flight development programs (e.g. UAVs, missiles, CubeSats)
• Basic knowledge of Monte Carlo analysis, uncertainty analysis, or risk analysis
• Small business experience

Responsibilities

• Develop and optimize aerodynamic designs from concept development and requirements definition, through preliminary and detailed design.
• Conduct detailed analysis to predict and enhance aerodynamic performance.
• Utilize Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) tools along with lower-order methods for performance evaluation.
• Evaluate impacts of configuration changes on performance of the vehicle.

Benefits

• Comprehensive healthcare coverage options including medical, telemedicine, vision, dental, long-term disability, short term disability, health savings accounts, and flexible spending accounts
• Flexible work schedules - the position is in-office at our facility in Atlanta, GA, however we do offer telework days, compressed workweek options, core hours, and flex time to provide flexibility to our employees
