Aerospace Engineer (Structural Analysis/Model Design) - Axient, LLC

An engineer is being sought to perform modeling, structural analysis, and create technical drawings across multiple disciplines within the USAF SEEK EAGLE organization.  Responsibilities will be focused on sophisticated wind tunnel systems with 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. 

The Aerospace Engineer will work in an Integrated Test & Evaluation (IT&E) environment. Duties will include:  

• Support multi-discipline test hardware design, structural analysis and testing. 

• Support wind tunnel model design and structural analysis in conjunction with aerodynamic analyses. 

• Build, review, and modify wind tunnel model components based on structural analysis results and communication with model fabricators. 

• Prepare and review technical drawings for use in test hardware and wind tunnel model fabrication and installation. 

• Work closely with vendors and suppliers to maintain accelerated schedules and meet critical program timelines. 

• 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. 

• Support the aircraft / store certification process. 

• Design / direct ground tests, wind tunnel tests, and flight tests. 

• Apply modeling and simulation tools to complex, challenging, and unprecedented aerodynamic configurations.
