- ability to work on multiple teams, large projects
- good communication skills, writing of progress reports, and documentation
- demonstrated ability to teach engineering undergraduate courses
Responsibilities
- development of flight vehicles and subsystems mathematical models and integration within a comprehensive simulation environment
- performance of simulation tests and analyzes
- writing reports, proposals, and technical documentation
- dissemination of research results through technical publications
- interaction with collaborating teams
- departmental support teaching engineering courses
- limited travel to technical meetings organized by the sponsor and/or to technical conferences
Other
- PhD degree in Aerospace Engineering
- ability to work on multiple teams, large projects, with good communication skills
- limited travel to technical meetings organized by the sponsor and/or to technical conferences may be needed
- departmental support teaching engineering courses may also be needed
