Job description

Overview

Laser Lethality & Vulnerability Analysis Engineer (DETO-2026-25746): 

Bowhead seeks new team members in their support to the Navy's Weapons Systems Munitions Integration and Hypersonic division. Join a missiondriven team at the forefront of modern weapon system assessment. This role places you directly in the analytical engine room of laser lethality and survivability studies-where physics, engineering, and realworld threat understanding converge. You won't just model systems; you'll help decode how weapons achieve kill, how targets respond, and what drives true operational effectiveness.

***This position will require full onsite work at the Bowhead office or Navy installation. No remote opportunity for this contract***

Responsibilities

Job duties to include but are not limited to: 

  • Analyze how High Energy Laser weapons can defeat other weapon systems with analytical and high-fidelity models of material, subsystem and full up system response.
  • Analyze weapon engagement kill mechanisms to understand how energy deposition, material response, and subsystem interactions drive missionlevel effects.
  • Analyze the effects and logic of failures to understand system vulnerabilities and predict failure mechanisms.
  • Characterize weapon system vulnerabilities.
  • Model weapon system geometries to support highfidelity vulnerability and lethality assessments.
  • Perform weapon engagement analyses to quantify time-to-kill and probability of kill.
  • Perform additional technical duties as assigned in support of Navy weapons integration and assessment efforts.
  • Other Duties as assigned
Qualifications

***This position will require full onsite work at the Bowhead office or Navy installation. No remote opportunity for this contract***

  • Bachelor of Science (BS) in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • Proficiency with 3D modeling and geometry development.
  • Strong analytical foundation in mechanics, materials, thermodynamics, and system modeling.
  • Proficiency in programming and scripting for modeling, data analysis, and simulation automation.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and sound judgment, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively with government personnel, contractors, and crossfunctional engineering teams.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools for documentation and communication.
  • Experience performing Failure Mode Effectiveness Analysis (FMEA), developing Failure Analysis Logic Trees (FALT), and generating Target Vulnerability Characterizations (TVC) products.
  • Experience developing Vulnerability Modules (VMs), particularly for High Energy Laser (HEL) systems.
  • Experience conducting engagement analysis, including generating TTK plots and Pk assessments using modeling and simulation tools.
  • Familiarity with vulnerability/lethality analysis frameworks, survivability modeling, or DoD weapon system assessment processes.
  • Experience supporting classified programs or working within secure facilities.

Physical Demands:

  • Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds
  • Must be able to stand and walk for prolonged amounts of time
  • Must be able to twist, bend and squat periodically

Target salary is $75,000/annually to $85,000/annually commensurate with experience
