Computational Simulation Engineer (Sounding Rocket Program)

Responsibilities

Develop aero- thermal- structural coupled models.
Support trajectory modeling and flight dynamics simulation.
Correlate analytical models with test data and refine predictive tools.
Perform structural and thermal analysis (FEA) of rocket airframe, motor casing, and payload structures.
Conduct CFD simulations of internal propulsion flowfields and external aerodynamics.
Analyze launch- induced environments (random vibration, acoustics, shock).
Collaborate with propulsion, structures, avionics, and systems engineering teams.
Establish simulation standards, documentation practices, and verification methodologies.

Requirements

Minimum 3–5 years of experience in computational simulation for aerospace systems.
Strong background in FEA and/or CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus, NASTRAN, Fluent, OpenFOAM, or equivalent).
Strong analytical, problem- solving, and technical communication skills.
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
Leadership experience in technical teams.
Familiarity with systems engineering processes and model validation.
Experience correlating simulation results with ground or flight test data.
Experience with sounding rockets, launch vehicles, or propulsion systems.
Knowledge of dynamic loads, structural dynamics, and thermal environments.
Experience with launch vehicle, missile, or high- speed aerospace systems preferred.
Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or similar engineering computing tools.
