About The Position

We have an exciting opportunity for a CFD Venting Analysis Engineer to join our ESSCA contract team at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, AL. This role involves performing analyses and applying physics-based models for the prediction of compartment venting and acoustic environments of space transportation vehicles. The engineer will apply engineering techniques and procedures to analyze and evaluate specific problems, data, or other work features that are broad in scope and complexity. This includes performing analysis of compartment purge and hazardous gas concentrations using engineering analysis codes, and reviewing and evaluating the quantity, quality, and overall adequacy of results and conclusions drawn from various engineering tasks. The position also requires preparing and presenting analyses results to technical teams and review boards, developing and delivering analyses products, documents, presentations, and action item responses, and participating in reviews, meetings, teleconferences, and working groups. Communication of issues, best practices, lessons-learned, and other technical positions related to aerothermal analyses is also a key responsibility, as is identifying, describing, and communicating potential risks and delivering project briefings to all levels of management. Clear and effective communication with internal and external partners is essential.

Requirements

• Experience in theoretical/computational analyses of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and aerodynamics of space transportation vehicles.
• Experience with programming languages such as Python, FORTRAN, MATLAB and their application to modeling and simulation.
• Knowledge of space transportation vehicle design, functions, terminology, interfaces, technical disciplines, and system design.
• Familiarity with command line interfaces and the Linux operating system.
• Familiarity with managing large datasets and extracting data to find out and communicate trends in data.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and effective team players with customer relations skills, familiar with working in a dynamic work environment.
• Interest in optimizing and improving existing analytical tools and processes to efficiently provide analysis results.
• Ability to be flexible and easily refocus on tasks when task directions or requirements change.
• Ability to interface and collaborate with all levels of engineering and project management with the ability to lead and influence for consensus.
• Demonstrated experience building strong working relationships with multiple stakeholders, organizing, and facilitating meetings/technical discussions.
• Intermediate skills using Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams & Outlook) are required.
• Excellent written and oral technical communication skills, with the ability to clearly define and describe a technical subject to peers across various engineering disciplines.
• US Citizenship and the ability to pass a comprehensive security background investigation is required.
