Position Description

Dynetics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Leidos, is seeking a talented Fluid Mechanics Design Engineer to support the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) Project.

This position will lead the execution of the design, development, integration, and test of fluid flow components and systems for mobile ground-based weapon systems, specifically the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) Launcher. The LRHW Launcher is a mobile ground-based launcher that fires surface-to-surface missiles carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle and warhead. The launcher utilizes a custom designed hydraulic power unit, fluid distribution, and control system to actuate stabilizers and erect the payload.

Candidate will be responsible for applying sound engineering and design principles in the development and refinement of new and existing complex hydraulic, pneumatic, and phase change systems including outriggers, stabilizers, payload erector systems, pneumatic actuators, and heat management systems.

Candidate will be responsible for fluid system architecture, component and system trades, bill of material development, specifications, 3D CAD modeling of fluid flow components and supporting mechanical structure, fabrication and integration drawings, close collaboration with the design team, and hands-on manufacturing/test support.

This position will require development of Technical Data Packages using CAD software (CREO), PDM/PLM systems (Agile/Windchill) and supporting software (Visio) for the production and documentation of complex systems and components.

Basic Qualifications

BS or MS in Fluid Mechanics, Hydraulics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent from an ABET-accredited university.

Candidate must have a minimum of 3+ years of fluid mechanics design engineering experience in one or more of the following areas: hydraulics, pneumatics, or phase-change systems.

Candidate must have demonstrated experience in the following areas:

• Pneumatic, Hydraulic, or phase change system design of complex systems
• Weapon systems, military hardware, erector systems, and/or industrial/construction/mining/agriculture equipment
• 3D CAD Modeling
• Drawing production in accordance with ASME Y14.100

Candidate must be a resident of or be willing to relocate to the Huntsville, AL area.

Other Qualifications

Experience and demonstrated skill in any of the following areas is also a plus:

• Hydraulic system design for mobile military equipment
• Pneumatic system design and control
• Phase change system design for heat management
• Fluid system analysis and test
• Mechanical structure and mechanism design
• Creo, SolidWorks
• Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing
• Design team leadership or people management

Active Secret Clearance is desired

Security Requirements

Candidate must be a US Citizen and possess (and be able to maintain) a Final Secret Clearance or meet the eligibility to obtain (and maintain) a Secret Clearance.
