TL;DR · Senior Low Observables Engineer, RCS

The Senior Low Observables Engineer role within the Air Dominance and Strike Low Observable Team focuses on advancing stealth technology for unmanned air systems. This position involves designing, analyzing, testing, and sustaining stealth features to reduce radar (RCS) and infrared signatures, ensuring undetectability in contested environments. Key responsibilities include developing RCS analysis tools, optimizing LO materials, and planning manufacturing and validation processes. The ideal candidate has extensive experience with RCS analysis tools like X-Patch and FEKO, proficiency in CAD software such as NX or CATIA, and familiarity with various manufacturing methods including composites and 3D printing. Additionally, scripting skills with languages like Python or C++ are essential for automating workflows and enhancing validation processes.

What you'll do

  • Perform broadband Radar Cross Section (RCS) analysis of components and full air vehicles.
  • Develop and validate analysis tools for RCS testing and optimization.
  • Model and optimize Low Observable materials for use in unmanned air systems.
  • Plan and execute RCS testing of LO air vehicles and components.
  • Aid in the development of manufacturing plans for Low Observable features.

What we're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience with LO aircraft design and analysis
  • Proficient in RCS analysis tools like X-Patch, FEKO, HFSS, and CEM packages
  • Expertise in LO materials modeling, coating integration, and subsystems
  • Experience with CAD software (NX, CATIA) and manufacturing techniques
  • BS or higher degree in STEM field and active U.S. clearance required
