The Programme

\r\n

The Fluid Systems Section within the Fluid Mechanics Department provides design and analysis support for fluid systems of space, launch, and reentry vehicles. The qualified candidate works with both internal and external customers participating as a technical authority on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics topics.

\r\n

What You Will Do

\r\n

Conduct analysis, modeling, planning, and review functions associated with fluid systems characterization of space, launch, and reentry vehicles.
Assess steady and transient internal flows in vehicle components/sub-systems for both single-phase and/or multi-phase states.
Participate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to resolve technical issues.
Perform day-of-launch activities at on-site facilities and national launch sites.
Support on-site and off-site technical interchange meetings, review of contractor analyses, as well as hardware and mission assurance reviews.
Maintain technical currency and stay abreast of advances in fluid mechanics technologies related to space, launch, and reentry vehicles.
Provide objective technical viewpoints to government and civil customers.
Work closely with program offices and interface with contractors, government personnel, research laboratories, and academia.
Working both independently and with teams.
Utilizing written and oral written communication skills.
