Perform aerodynamic configuration trade studies on mission performance that includes effects of static and dynamic S&C, propulsion, and mass properties. Develop aerodynamic models for use in 6 degree of freedom launch vehicle simulation models (table generation with logical dependencies, uncertainty analyses, V&V techniques). Design and support wind tunnel testing programs. Prepare man-level staffing requirements to support development of a rocket vehicle design from concept to flight. Manage tasks and schedule to ensure smooth coordination with program and other leads. Manage a small team with ability to assign/monitor work and review for accuracy. Working at Northrop Grumman is more than just a paycheck. Experience with a wide range of flight regimes (subsonic, transonic, supersonic, hypersonic, and rarefied flows). Familiarity with legacy aerodynamic computer analysis programs (CFD and industry predictive codes - Fluent, DSMC, Loci-Chem, Fun3D, Cart3D, Missile Datcom). Familiarity with wind tunnel testing and evaluation (transonic and supersonic). Familiarity with launch vehicle aeroelastic analyses (distributed loads, deflected vehicle effects). Familiarity with launch vehicle venting analysis requirements and engineering methodologies. Bachelor's degree with 5 years of professional experience - OR - Master's degree with 3 years of professional experience - OR - PhD with 1 year of professional experience. Will consider an additional 4+ years of experience in lieu of degree. Must have the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government DoD Secret security clearance Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering Experience with 6DOF aerodynamic model development Experience with Python and the Linux operating system Experience with autopilot and guidance algorithm design and navigation and actuator subsystems Experience with wind tunnel test planning and execution Experience with CFD Experience with C++
