OverviewJob Title: Senior Engineer for Propulsion Airframe IntegrationLocation: Arnold AFB TNJob Family Code: O-EngineeringFunction/Branch: Engineering/Engineering SolutionsDirectorate: Engineering and Tech SupportPosition Type: Regular Full TimePay Type: ExemptGrade: L10 (OA1015) -L11 (OA1115)Salary Range: L10: $135000 - $181000; L11: $155000 - $190000 /yearOpen to internal and external candidates.Job SummaryThis engineer will serve as the technical architect for a new national-scale test capability. You will lead the effort to develop a rigorous framework that unifies force momentum and pressure measurements from our world‑class propulsion test cells and wind tunnels. This role is crucial for advancing the development of next‑generation aircraft including blended‑wing‑body and embedded‑propulsion designs where traditional measurement techniques are no longer sufficient.This role centers on pioneering a methodology to resolve the complex coupled aerodynamic forces in advanced propulsion‑airframe systems. You will be responsible for creating a single consistent global force and energy budget with quantified uncertainty integrating data from multiple distinct test facilities and simulations. The position requires a unique blend of expertise in propulsion testing and force measurement metrology. The successful candidate will be a proven technical leader capable of architecting a new test methodology from the ground up and mentoring a world‑class engineering team.Job DutiesArchitect a comprehensive methodology for reconciling force and energy measurements by defining consistent control volumes reference frames and sign conventions that span propulsion test cells altitude facilities and wind tunnelsAdapt and extend classical thrust‑drag bookkeeping methods for highly integrated and coupled aircraft configurationsIncorporate modern power balance and exergy‑based frameworks to analyze tightly coupled aerodynamic flowsSpecify oversee and interpret complex force and flow measurements including multi‑component strain‑gauge balances thrust stands and advanced gas‑path instrumentationLead the technical approach for testing developing bookkeeping strategies that separate thrust from model drag in the presence of strong external‑flow couplingOwn the end‑to‑end measurement uncertainty budget propagating uncertainties through the cross‑facility rollup to ensure the credibility of results where thrust‑minus‑drag is a small difference of large numbersDevelop and build the data‑fusion methodology and supporting software/models required to integrate multi‑facility datasets into a global accounting frameworkServe as a senior technical authority and mentor interfacing with Air Force customers engine OEMs airframers and other contractor teams to drive technical consensus and collaborationIt is a condition of employment to wear company issued PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) in accordance with supervisory direction and company policyPerform other related duties as requiredBasic QualificationsBachelor of Science in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering (or a closely related field)Grade 10: Minimum of 10 years of relevant experienceGrade 10: Minimum of 14 years of relevant experienceDemonstrated expertise in either:(a) Propulsion/aerothermodynamic test engineering (engine performance thrust‑drag bookkeeping inlet/nozzle aerodynamics gas‑path instrumentation altitude/sea‑level engine testing) OR(b) Force measurement/metrology (multi‑axis strain‑gauge balance design and calibration load‑cell systems calibration standards measurement uncertainty)Must be able to obtain and maintain a Department of Defense Secret level security clearance and access to the AEDC local area networkDue to Air Force Security requirements U.S. Citizenship is required for employment at AEDCPreferred QualificationsDemonstrated working fluency in the other of the two domains listed aboveProven ability to architect a new test capability or methodology not merely operate an existing oneRigorous command of measurement uncertainty quantification (as applied to force and/or thrust measurement)Masters or PhD in Mechanical or Aerospace EngineeringHands‑on experience with blended‑wing‑body (BWB) hybrid‑wing embedded propulsion S‑duct/serpentine inlets or boundary‑layer‑ingesting (BLI) configurationsExperience with engine and/or wind‑tunnel model testing and the associated thrust/drag bookkeeping challengeExperience with data fusion across facilities control‑volume/CFD‑informed force decomposition and test‑data systems/programming (Python MATLAB)Education in fundamental engineering and science and advanced knowledge of mathematics algorithms and computer languagesStrong oral and written communication skills with demonstrated ability to convey highly technical information effectively to a wide audience with varying levels of technical understandingWhat We OfferCompetitive salariesContinuing education assistanceMultiple healthcare benefits packages401K with employer matchingPaid time off (PTO) along with a federally recognized holiday scheduleU.S. Citizenship is required.
