Aerospace Engineer

Aerospace Engineer Join Booz Allen’s Space Environments Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Team supporting the client’s Lunar Dust Contamination Program. You will help develop and use advanced computational modeling tools and techniques to analyze how dust particles interact with the space environment and spacecraft, contributing to the Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Program (EHP) for a permanent human presence on the Moon. The Opportunity As an aerospace engineer on the team, you will develop new M&S capabilities, model systems and environments of interest, and simulate physical phenomena such as plasma interactions with spacecraft and dust.

Requirements – You Have 3+ years of experience with M&S of physical phenomena or systems Experience with rarefied gas dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, direct simulation Monte Carlo, discrete element method, particle‑in‑cell simulations, and space environment effects such as radiation transport, materials outgassing/contamination, or spacecraft charging Experience developing software to implement analytical and computational models Experience with data processing, statistical techniques, and programming in Fortran, Python, or C++ Experience with CAD and 3D modeling software such as SolidWorks and NX Experience with FEA, CFD, or tools such as STAR‑CCM+, Ansys Mechanical, Ansys Thermal Desktop, and Loci‑Chem Experience writing technical documentation or scientific publications Ability to take ownership of assigned tasks, work in both a team and independently, and communicate effectively with clients and stakeholders Ability to obtain a Secret clearance Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, CS, or Applied Mathematics Nice If You Have Experience modeling chemically reacting flows Experience modeling plasma or dust‑plasma coupling Experience applying machine learning to solve engineering problems with PyTorch or TensorFlow Experience working with Linux environments Experience performing Discrete Element Method analyses Experience modeling Hall‑effect thrusters or other electric propulsion systems Experience producing original research Experience working with U.S. government clients, including in the space domain Secret clearance Master’s degree in Engineering or a related field Clearance Applicants selected will be subject to a security investigation and may need to meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Compensation Projected annual salary range: $69,300.00 to $158,000.00 USD. This range is subject to location, experience, education, and organizational factors.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to disability, status as a protected veteran or any other status protected by applicable federal, state, local, or international law. #J-18808-Ljbffr
