Missile Design Engineer

Missile Design Engineer

Missile Design and All-Source Flight Analysis Engineer with an understanding of 3D Solid Modeling and a TS/SCI clearance to do cutting edge advanced missile all-source analyses and reverse engineering to lead to the development of official Threat Baseline Assessments and 3D CAD models of foreign missile designs. This effort will primarily be conducted onsite at the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), one of the nation's premier scientific and technical intelligence centers.

Required Qualifications/Skills:

• Minimum existing SECRET level clearance and a strong candidate for a TS/SCI level clearance or TS/SCI preferred.
• BS/MS/PhD in Mechanical/Aerospace engineering or in a relevant engineering discipline.
• Mid-Level (6-10 years' experience with BS, 4-6 with MS, 2-4 with PhD) missile design, flight performance, navigation, guidance, and control and or missile propulsion system design experience.
• 3D modeling experience with SolidWorks is preferred. Experience with Pro-E/CREO and NX is desirable.
• Experience with component level design from the detail level through complete complex assemblies.
• Able to identify, select and integrate a wide range of materials into designs.
• Hands-on experience using finite element analysis for system/component design.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate well through written documentation and oral presentations.
• Ability to work independently or on a team.
• The ability to create, follow and adjust a design plan for the creation of level 1 & 2 CAD models from initial assignment to completed documentation.
• The ability to collaborate with technical experts and subject matter experts in an efficient and effective manner.
• Understanding of the scientific and technical intelligence community trade craft and ICD's is highly preferred.

Responsibilities:

• Providing all-source research, technical engineering analysis, and production and dissemination of both short- and long-term naval technical analysis information support.
• Conducting and supporting tasks that require IC and national intelligence coordination.
• Developing and using cutting-edge tools and techniques to meet the growing demands of missile defense system requirement specifications, design activities and test/verification.
• Analyzing all-source intelligence information to synthesize foreign missile designs that characterize the flight performance, concept of operations, RF, and IR signatures of key naval launched surface to air missiles, anti-ship cruise missile, ballistic missiles, anti-ship ballistic missiles, hypersonic cruise missiles and glide vehicles.
• Developing tools for performance analysis and visualization as well as analysis of electronic warfare.
• Developing technical assessments and briefs using all-source information in accordance with ONI and ODNI Analytical Tradecraft Policy, ODNI Writing Guide, ONI production standards and other documented guidance on production; the intelligence assessments will document the intelligence/technical tradecraft, as well as the uncertainty and confidence level.
• Performing detailed analyses of the missile performance for foreign naval missiles.
• Assisting ONI with Acquisitions Threat Evaluation Products (ATEPs) to include, but not limited to, production, design, verification, and validation (V&V), reporting, testing, and meeting attendance.
• Assisting ONI in writing and updating foreign missile Technical Baseline Assessments (TBAs) following the appropriate TAC-31 tradecraft.
• Developing 3D solid models of missile configurations including external and internal features and components in CREO or SolidWorks using standard engineering practices and following the TAC-31 Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Models/Configuration & Mass Properties Tradecraft guidance.
• Developing aerodynamic tables and flight envelope assessments using standard engineering practices and following TAC-31 guidance.
• Developing solid and liquid propulsion system assessments using standard engineering practices and following TAC-31 guidance.
• Developing avionics assessments, to include both seeker and guidance components, using standard engineering practices and following TAC-31 guidance.
