SPACEWORKS
At SpaceWorks Enterprises, we specialize in next-generation high-speed flight systems, human and robotic spacecraft, as well as entry, descent & landing technologies. Our core competencies include conducting preliminary design of aerospace concepts, performing detailed multidisciplinary engineering analysis, developing commercial aerospace software, prototyping spacecraft hardware components, and conducting market and economic research within the aerospace industry. We serve clients from the Department of War, NASA, and the commercial space sector.
THE ROLE
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
Have experience supporting activities in modeling, simulation, and design of high-speed flight systems including endo-atmospheric, re-entry, and launch systems
A DAY IN THE LIFE
Aerodynamic Design & Analysis:
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.
