About this role

Mission Brief&nbsp; As part of the Launch Vehicle Loads and&nbsp;Dynamics&nbsp;team, you will&nbsp;work&nbsp;and contribute across the team's broader aerodynamic, internal-fluid, and thermal&nbsp;analysis&nbsp;work. Your results feed loads&nbsp;definition, structural&nbsp;and&nbsp;flight dynamics&nbsp;as well as vehicle control&nbsp;and directly drive flight hardware design iterations.&nbsp; Your Role in Our Space Mission&nbsp; <ul> <li>Perform steady&nbsp;state&nbsp;and&nbsp;transient&nbsp;external&nbsp;aerodynamic&nbsp;and internal flow&nbsp;analyses using CFD and empirical/engineering&nbsp;methods&nbsp;across&nbsp;the&nbsp;full meshing&nbsp;/&nbsp;solution&nbsp;/&nbsp;post-processing workflow&nbsp;</li> <li>Develop methodologies&nbsp;for&nbsp;assessing&nbsp;unsteady&nbsp;aerodynamic&nbsp;behavior&nbsp;(e.g.&nbsp;buffeting, separation, recirculation),&nbsp;characterizing&nbsp;the resulting&nbsp;buffet&nbsp;and aero-acoustic&nbsp;loads&nbsp;and delivering data for vibroacoustic, loads, and control&nbsp;analysis&nbsp;</li> <li>Analysis of&nbsp;internal&nbsp;flow&nbsp;phenomena relevant to&nbsp;launch&nbsp;vehicle loads (e.g.&nbsp;propellant management, propellant sloshing, thermal stratification)&nbsp;using CFD and empirical/engineering methods&nbsp;</li> <li>Support&nbsp;thermal&nbsp;coupled&nbsp;loads analysis&nbsp;of&nbsp;the launch vehicle and payload,&nbsp;maintenance&nbsp;of&nbsp;the launcher's thermal models and thermal control system design by providing analysis&nbsp;</li> <li>Develop and improve&nbsp;tools and automation for simulation, data processing, and analysis&nbsp;workflows&nbsp;</li> <li>Contribute to the definition of test campaigns and flight instrumentation to&nbsp;validate&nbsp;and verify&nbsp;analysis&nbsp;models and requirements&nbsp;</li> </ul> Qualification Checklist&nbsp; <ul> <li>Degree in the field of Aerospace of Mechanical Engineering, or similar&nbsp;</li> <li>3+ years of relevant experience in aerodynamics,&nbsp;fluid&nbsp;or&nbsp;thermal analysis&nbsp;in the field of aerospace or launch vehicles&nbsp;</li> <li>Experience with CFD and fluid/thermal simulation tools (e.g.&nbsp;StarCCM+,&nbsp;Simcenter, Thermal Desktop/ESATAN/Thermica)&nbsp;</li> <li>Proficiency&nbsp;in Python or MATLAB for automating pre- and post-processing workflows<span data-ccp-props="{&quot;20134198
