Aerospace Engineer (Store Separation)

The Store Separation Engineer shall support the Air Force SEEK EAGLE Office (AFSEO) Modeling, Analysis, and Tools Support (SEMATS3) contract at Eglin Air Force Base. The work performed furthers the USAF SEEK EAGLE aircraft/store compatibility effort, as well as broader USAF goals.  The engineer will participate in a working environment focused on the evaluation of aircraft compatibility with a wide variety of external and internal stores necessary to conduct the range of USAF operational and test missions.

Essential Skills:

The Store Separation Engineer will work in an Integrated Test & Evaluation (IT&E) environment. Duties include the following broad-ranging responsibilities in support of store separation discipline tasks:

• Support the aircraft/store certification process.
• Perform sophisticated store separation aerodynamic analytical efforts.
• Design/direct ground tests, wind tunnel tests, and flight tests.
• Apply modeling and simulation tools to address complex, challenging, and unprecedented aerodynamic configurations.
• Devise engineering software scripts and programs for specific program engineering purposes: software development could be included in the task portfolio.
• Professionally document certification artifacts, engineering documentation (e.g. test plans, analysis results), and formal presentations.
• Works well as a member of a discipline team in a dynamic multi-tasking environment. 

Required Skills:

Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required. 

A bachelor's degree in Aeronautical, Aerospace, or Mechanical (with Aerospace specialty) and 3 years of relevant aerodynamic experience.

Ability to obtain a Secret security clearance within 6-9 months.
