STC supports the US Army's Technology Development Directorate (TDD) located at 
the NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, CA. Much of this support 
involves the development and application of modeling and simulation tools for 
rotorcraft aerodynamics and structural dynamics in Army acquisition-related 
programs such as Future Vertical Lift. These modeling and simulation activities 
aim to improve performance, reduce risk, and enhance safety for Army rotorcraft.

 

Responsibilities

This position requires the development and application of rotorcraft modeling 
and simulation tools to address Army rotorcraft engineering problems in 
aerodynamics, structural dynamics, and acoustics. These software development and 
application activities typically run on state-of-the-art high-performance 
parallel computers and they require multidisciplinary computational modeling of 
fluid dynamics, structural dynamics, and rotorcraft comprehensive analysis.

Job Requirements
The successful candidate should have experience and expertise in computational 
modeling and simulation for aircraft. Experience with helicopter aerodynamics 
and structural dynamics is a big plus along with experience using high-
performance computers, and experience solving multi-disciplinary fluid and 
structural dynamics problems. M.S. degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering 
is required, the Ph.D. is preferred. This position is open to US citizens and US 
permanent residents.
