Description
The survivability integration engineer applies extensive technical expertise, and has full knowledge of related disciplines. The survivability integration engineer may utilize 1D, 2D, and 3D computational electromagnetic codes such as method of moments (MoM) and physical optics (PO) to develop technical solutions for component and vehicle level design problems while ensuring system survivability. Engineer may perform survivability testing and data post-processing using Knowbell or Pioneer to verify survivability design of antennas, propulsion systems, and vehicle features such as edges, wing folds, gaps and door seals. Engineer would perform testing at both indoor and outdoor testing facilities. As an Engineer 4, the engineer will perform his/her tasks without appreciable direction, exercising considerable latitude in determining technical objectives and assignments. The engineer would also provide guidance and specific instruction to less experienced engineers. The survivability integration engineer will be a part of an integrated product team (IPT), supporting multi-discipline advanced development programs and technology research and development (R&D), and may function in a project leadership role.
Qualifications
Basic Qualifications:
A minimum of a bachelor's degree in electrical, mechanical, or aerospace engineering, or physics, is required for this position and a minimum of 9 years of applicable experience in Applied Electromagnetics and RCS.
