Develop custom systems for hypersonic flight vehicles, manage technical requirements, and participate in collaborative engineering efforts and testing activities.

Design, build, maintain, and operate hypersonic propulsion test infrastructure and test cells. Develop high-pressure fluid and fuel control systems, combustion devices, sensors, and controls; collaborate on experiments; analyze propulsion performance data; and design scramjet and ramjet components. The role requires hands-on testing, mechanical and fluid-system design, data acquisition, and safe operation of high-energy tests, with up to 10% travel.

Design and develop components, mechanical subsystems, and complete hypersonic flight vehicles. Responsibilities include leading component and system analyses, architecture trade studies, manufacturing drawing releases, subsystem integration, and technical project ownership. The engineer will collaborate across disciplines to optimize vehicle performance and support test activities.

Design and analyze components, subsystems, and systems for hypersonic flight vehicles. Responsibilities include mechanical concept trade studies, preliminary analysis, manufacturing drawings, subsystem ownership, cross-disciplinary integration, and ensuring vehicle fit, functionality, and performance requirements.

Designs and develops mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems for hypersonic flight vehicles. Responsibilities include creating manufacturing drawings, serving as the responsible engineer for mechanical subsystems, analyzing components, and owning designs through prototype, testing, and production. The role requires cross-disciplinary collaboration, practical engineering problem-solving, and compliance with performance requirements. Travel of up to 10% may be required for test activities, and the candidate must be eligible to obtain a DoD security clearance.

The Mechanical Engineer I will design and develop mechanical components for hypersonic vehicles, manage prototypes, and ensure design optimization. Responsibilities include creating manufacturing drawings and collaborating across disciplines to meet performance requirements.

Develop and integrate avionics architectures for supersonic and hypersonic vehicles. Responsibilities include defining system requirements and interfaces, integrating flight computers, sensors, power and control electronics, supporting hardware bring-up and troubleshooting, executing qualification tests, resolving multidisciplinary integration issues, and maintaining technical documentation. Level III engineers also mentor junior staff and contribute to avionics architecture best practices.

Build and maintain full-stack software, data pipelines, servers, dashboards, and integrations connecting PLCs, databases, control systems, and user interfaces at an engine test facility. Process and visualize test telemetry, administer infrastructure, support software testing and deployment, and collaborate with controls and propulsion engineers on data-system architecture and requirements.

Supports controls systems for a scramjet test facility by developing PLC features, designing test-cell controls, integrating sensors, fabricating control panels, calibrating equipment, implementing sequences, and troubleshooting issues. Collaborates with propulsion, mechanical, and test engineers to expand hypersonic engine testing capabilities. Requires 0–2 years of experience and eligibility for a U.S. Secret clearance, with up to 10% travel.

Perform hand calculations and advanced structural analyses for high-speed airbreathing vehicles. Create and validate linear/nonlinear FEA models, write stress/fatigue/fracture assessments, develop Python/MATLAB analysis tools, lead structural/material testing and instrumentation, and support coupled thermal-structural work to deliver flight‑worthy hardware.
