The Aerospace Engineer (Engineer V) provides, at a senior level, systems engineering, mission design, and technical analysis support for space technology programs at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).
This role focuses on the design, development, analysis, and integration of spacecraft systems ranging from CubeSats to ESPA-class satellites, supporting cradle-to-grave space mission lifecycles from concept development through flight operations.
The ideal candidate will support:
• Mission and space system development: Conduct spacecraft subsystem design, mission analysis, concept of operations development, and requirements definition for experimental space missions
• Spacecraft design and analysis: Perform mechanical, thermal, structural, and systems engineering for spacecraft buses, payloads, and high-altitude balloon experiments
• Hardware development and integration: Support spacecraft hardware design, fabrication, and integration activities including technology prototyping and flight experiment assembly
• Modeling and simulation: Develop and exercise spacecraft models, mission simulations, and analytical tools to evaluate technology options and mission performance
This position requires hands-on aerospace engineering experience, strong analytical capabilities, and the ability to work in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) supporting innovative space technology experiments for the Department of Defense.
