Thermal Analyst

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory•Laurel, MD

12d•Onsite

About The Position

We are seeking an engineer to apply thermal analysis skills to subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flight vehicle applications. You will work together with a hardworking team of engineers to empower U.S. warfighters! As a Thermal Analyst, you will engage in studies and research to advance the state of the art in thermal modeling and analysis, thermal protection materials and thermal/structural survivability analysis to achieve program requirements. You will interact with experts across multiple domains to develop and analyze advanced weapon systems. You will document and present findings to government agencies and sponsors.

Requirements

Possess a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or other relevant technical discipline.
Have at least one year of relevant experience in thermal science, thermal modeling and analysis for aerospace applications.
Have strong technical knowledge in the integration of aerothermal solutions with thermal and structural modeling frameworks.
Demonstrate the ability and willingness to learn, develop proficiency in, and ultimately master in-house thermal modeling tools and methodologies.
Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level 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.

Nice To Haves

Have a Master's degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or other relevant technical discipline.
