Responsibilities

Arcfield is seeking a senior mechanical and aerospace engineer to support our strategic programs work in Colorado Springs.  Arcfield has supported our U.S. Navy Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) customer by performing research, development, analysis, modeling, simulation, and testing to assess weapon system performance and qualify weapon systems for normal and hostile environments. We provide support in the areas of programmatic and systems engineering, engineering and scientific analysis, and operational systems support for Navy SSP’s strategic reentry systems. We utilize both COTS and in-house developed software to deliver analysis results and software models of reentry systems and weapons effects to Navy SSP.  The mechanical and aerospace engineer level III will be responsible to provide technical analysis of reentry system performance in hostile and normal reentry environments. This analysis can include modeling the environments as well as analyzing complex materials and structures; dynamic response of structures subjected to hypersonic aerodynamic loads and system responses to thermal and shock environments. The winning candidate will guide the development, testing and evaluation of aerospace materials; develop mechanical finite element models; use modeling and simulation tools to assess material response and system design performance.

  • Work in a team environment to plan and accomplish project goals and objectives
  • Complete vehicle performance evaluations in hostile and atmospheric reentry environments with advanced computer modeling techniques
  • Learn and use FEA mesh tools, and advanced linear and nonlinear FEM solvers
  • Learn and use CFD grid tools, and advanced CFD hypersonic flow solvers
  • Analyze, interpret, and assess simulation results
