Responsibilities

The systems analyst primarily will perform advanced concept thermodynamic design of air-breathing engines to define propulsion cycles that meet functional vehicle requirements. During the development activities of these propulsion systems, the systems analyst will primarily conduct performance analyses and evaluate the steady state and transient operation of these propulsion systems. Duties may include development of conceptual/preliminary designs and perform trade studies of significant, complex, innovative and advanced propulsion and technology systems to meet customer requirements. Create concepts of operation, requirements development, and initial system architectures for advanced concepts. Develop and use integrated propulsion system models for sizing, performance, and analysis including NPSS propulsion performance models, MATLAB/Simulink, ModelCenter, computer aided design (CAD) tools, trajectory analysis tools, Python, C/C++, SysML, and FORTRAN. Duties may include evaluation of ground test and flight data to determine engine health and conformance to performance requirements

Duties will include creating, maintaining and using math models of propulsion systems which characterize the thermodynamic, aerodynamic, fluid dynamic and mechanical operation of these systems. Alternatively, duties will include designing and testing engine control systems and control logic for liquid rocket and/or air-breathing engines

Propulsion development activities include contributing technical analyses to anomaly investigation and resolution teams. As required, provide on-site customer technical support for engine ground test coverage and analyses, and system flight test activities
