Responsibilities

As the Manager of Aerodynamics, you will lead a talented team ranging from early-career engineers to subject matter experts in aerodynamic methods. You will build on the team’s strengths, support each engineer’s development, and foster a collaborative working environment.
Working closely with hydrodynamics and other engineering teams, you will translate analysis into design, integration, and test decisions. Your team will develop models for Mission Performance and Stability and Control (S&C), provide linearized aerodynamic models to Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC), and deliver aerodynamic inputs to Loads and Dynamics (L&D).
If you’re energized by working at the intersection of cutting-edge innovation, real-world impact, and hands-on engineering, you’ll be in the right place - and we’d be thrilled to have you on the team!
Lead the aerodynamics group: set priorities, review work, mentor engineers alongside senior staff, and hire as the team grows. Stay hands-on in CFD and test.
Represent aerodynamics in design reviews, test planning, and certification discussions under the U.S. Coast Guard Design Basis Agreement.
Set priorities for and sign off on CFD methods and workflow standards for tools such as Star-CCM+ and Flow360, working with the engineers who develop them.
Own the aerodynamic design and analysis from the current prototype through the production vehicle: wing, high-lift system, control surfaces, and their behavior across hull-borne, hydrofoil-borne, and wing-borne ground-effect operation.
Provide aerodynamic input to air data system specification, selection, and calibration
Review and approve wind tunnel and flight-test plans as well as the the correlation of results against prediction, directing model and design updates based on what the data shows.
Set priorities and approve release of versioned aero databases and reduced-order models to GNC, Structures, and Loads & Dynamics, including CFD-to-loads pressure mapping.
Analyze effects of blown-wing lift and ground effect, and translate the results into configuration decisions and trade studies.
