Mechanical & Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer
The Opportunity:
What if you could use your engineering expertise to develop next-generation defense tools and technology? As an engineer, you know leading-edge digital engineering tools and analysis are critical to national defense. We need your skills and expertise in fluid dynamics and supersonics to develop creative solutions that directly impact the warfighter.
As a Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer on our engineering team, you’ll provide computational fluid dynamics (CFD) expertise to perform reliable, high‐fidelity, multi‐disciplinary analyses of all speed regimes, such as subsonic through hypersonic, focusing on multi‐scale unsteady flows, flow interactions and flows with widely varying temporal and spatial scales. You will assist experimental researchers in the design of experiments for the development, verification, and validation of transient, thermal engineering and analysis tools and experiments. You will contribute to the design and research teams investigating and analysis of aerospace systems to further comprehend the effects of different structural technologies in an operational context for subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic speed regimes with the objective of developing methodologies for the early assessment of novel concepts and technologies. At Booz Allen, you’ll make a difference with us, and, in return, we’ll invest in your future.
Join us. The world can't wait.
