Modeling and Simulation Engineer
About The Position
CFD Research is developing a novel framework for multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization (MDAO) of aerospace systems. The framework integrates physics-based modeling and simulation (M&S) with predictive machine learning (ML) techniques to perform more efficient optimization. The framework is being applied to support conceptual design and maturation of aerospace systems. Our team is seeking an engineer with intellectual curiosity and technical mastery necessary for development of next-generation systems. This role will apply advanced modeling and simulation techniques to support multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization of air frames, propulsion, sensors, guidance, and control. The candidate will support delivery, deployment, and application of modeling and optimization processes to the Air Force Research Laboratory and other DoD customers.
