Axient has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Aerospace Engineer (Structural Analysis/Model Design) to support the Air Force SEEK EAGLE Office (AFSEO) Modeling, Analysis, and Tools Support (SEMATS) contract.  The work performed furthers the USAF SEEK EAGLE aircraft/store compatibility effort, as well as broader USAF goals.

• An engineer is being sought to perform structural analysis of sophisticated wind tunnel systems: reconfigurable aircraft models with complex components; innovative support mechanisms compatible with a wide range of inventory and development weapon models; and components constructed using multiple advanced manufacturing processes. 
• The engineer will participate in a working environment focused on the evaluation of aircraft compatibility with a wide variety of external and internal stores necessary to conduct the range of USAF operational and test missions. 
• What you’ll do all day:
• The Aerospace Engineer will work in an Integrated Test & Evaluation (IT&E) environment. Duties include the following broad-ranging responsibilities in support of store separation discipline tasks: 
• Support the aircraft/store certification process 
• Perform sophisticated structural analysis tasks, in conjunction with aerodynamic analysis 
• Design/direct ground tests, wind tunnel tests, and flight tests 
• Apply modeling and simulation tools to complex, challenging, and unprecedented aerodynamic configurations 
• Devise engineering software scripts and programs for specific program engineering purposes; software development could be included in the task portfolio 
• Professionally document certification artifacts, engineering documentation (e.g. test plans, analysis results), and formal presentations 
• Works as a member of a discipline team in a dynamic multi-tasking environment

• Master's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering with 10 years of relevant experience (at least two (2) years of specific aerospace structural analysis experience);
  • OR a Doctorate with 5 years of relevant experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a government Secret security clearance
• Current U.S. Citizenship is required

Other Skills 

• Knowledge of structural analysis aerodynamics and fluid mechanics
• Experience with established industry finite element analysis (FEA) software (e.g. PATRAN / NASTRAN)
• Experience with technical drawing preparation and checking (ASME Y14.5)
• Experience operating in LINUX/UNIX environments using scripting languages (python, PERL, etc.)
• Knowledge of aircraft, air-launched weapons, and aircraft suspension equipment
• General engineering experience including familiarity with modeling & simulation are desired to meet the basic position requirements
• Excellent technical writing and oral communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Strong analytical and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently, as well as with a team
• Ability to travel using commercial airlines is required to support professional obligations
