The Air-Vehicle Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) Engineer joins the Air Dominance & Strike division to accelerate the development of collaborative combat aircraft and missiles. This role involves integrating disciplinary models—including aerodynamics, propulsion, and GNC—into multi-fidelity workflows to inform critical design decisions. The engineer will build automated MDAO workflows, develop parameterized CAD-based scripted geometry, and implement advanced methods such as Uncertainty Quantification, Design of Experiments, and sensitivity analyses. Key technical requirements include proficiency in Python, MATLAB, and Git, alongside experience with C, C++, or FORTRAN. The candidate must also apply large language models and AI tools to optimize engineering processes. This role solves the challenge of breaking down traditional silos between conceptual design and detailed engineering to create robust, data-driven systems for complex defense applications.
