Engineer - Propulsion and Power Systems
The Propulsion and Power Systems Laboratory is seeking a Research Engineer to join the team as part of an early career development program. This role involves performing systems-level technology assessments for gas turbine propulsion, high-speed flight, and electrified propulsion applications. You will contribute to pre-test analysis, instrumentation, and test execution while correlating predictions against test data. Key responsibilities include adding features to established models, running sensitivity studies, and supporting hazard identification for integrated system testing. The position requires proficiency with MATLAB, Python, and NPSS. Candidates must possess a Master's Degree in a related STEM discipline and demonstrate fundamental knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. The work focuses on characterizing how technologies interact within complex propulsion and power architectures rather than optimizing isolated components.
