Job description

Job Description:
Job Description
Analytical Mechanics Associates Inc. is currently seeking a Computational Fluid Dynamicist to join our onsite team at NASA Langley. Specifically, this position resides in the Computational Hypersonics, Aeroheating, Reentry, and Gridding Ensemble (CHARGE) which primarily supports the RSES contract at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA. CHARGE provides a state-of-the-art computational design, analysis, simulation, and optimization capability in support of NASA's high speed airbreathing full scale vehicle development, subscale flight demonstrators, and associated ground tests through the innovative and timely utilization of a range of commercial and internally developed software packages.
The salary range for this position is $95,000-$120,000 commensurate with education and experience.
Responsibilities include:
  • Performing three-dimensional numerical simulations of internal and external flows including multi-species finite rate chemistry and the accompanying grid generation
  • Developing engine and vehicle designs along with determining performance and operability for programs involving ramjet/scramjet propulsion utilizing a variety of methods from cycle to Navier-Stokes codes

Requirements:
  • MS degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
  • 2 - 5 years of work experience
  • Experience with commercial/government grid generation packages (Pointwise, Heldenmesh, etc.) and flow solvers (VULCAN, Loci/CHEM, FUN3D, USM3D, OVERFLOW, CFD++, etc.)
  • Experience with data visualization software (TECPLOT, etc.)Background with CAD software is preferred
  • Background in the interpretation of high-speed wind tunnel testing is also desirable
  • Security Clearance will be needed - therefore, only US citizens can be considered
