Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Provide part-time (≤20 hr/month) senior technical advisory on computational aerothermodynamics, CFD, and M&S; guide integration of machine learning (e.g., surrogate models, PINNs) into workflows; review software/architecture and HPC implementations; mentor engineers; develop strategic roadmaps for advanced simulation and ML techniques.

Perform 3D numerical simulations of internal and external high-speed flows (including multi-species finite-rate chemistry), generate and manage grids, and develop ramjet/scramjet engine and vehicle designs using cycle and Navier–Stokes codes. Support analysis, simulation, and optimization for NASA Langley programs and use commercial and in-house solvers and visualization tools.

Lead and manage rotorcraft aerodynamics wind-tunnel experiments: provide senior technical leadership, ensure safe facility operations, track schedule/budget/performance, establish standards, support rotor model development, conduct aerodynamic/dynamics data analysis, and document and review experimental efforts.

Provide on-site configuration and data management support for NASA AFRC projects: maintain CM plans and repositories, control configuration items and engineering changes, administer CCBs and ACMS/ACCT, run audits (PCAs), track action items and metrics, and train users on CM tools and processes.

Lead and mentor an electronics team to design, simulate, build, and test mixed-signal and high-speed digital circuits, VHDL/FPGA modules, and system integrations (cameras, GPS, data storage) for flight missions; collaborate across disciplines and with vendors through full lifecycle to manufacturing and assembly.

Design, simulate, and test VHDL modules and FPGA designs for sensors and spaceflight systems. Create design documentation, support code reviews to NASA standards, integrate and test hardware with software and electrical teams, and perform functional testing, troubleshooting, and assembly for flight missions.

Perform mechanical and thermal design and analysis for space components and systems including CAD modeling, FEA and thermal simulations, data processing in Python/MATLAB, technical writing, and presenting results. Support multidisciplinary analyses for NASA Space Nuclear Propulsion projects and advance designs from PDR to CDR.

Prepare, format, review, and finalize technical project team documents and presentations for NASA NESC. Coordinate reviews, manage templates and distribution, ensure clarity and compliance with formatting and export regulations, and facilitate team communications via Microsoft Teams.

Support NASA Langley Research Center through applied research and engineering across aviation transformation, earth intelligence, and space exploration. Work spans fundamental research to flight‑rated hardware design, contributing to long‑term NASA missions and programs. Candidates at all experience levels encouraged; positions will be onsite at Langley, VA.

Develop, update, and validate physics-based and identified flight-dynamics models for crewed and uncrewed rotorcraft (including FLRAA and UH-60 variants). Use tools like HeliUM, GenHel, CIFER, and Simulink to generate linear models, support real-time piloted simulations, assist software development and validation, attend reviews, and communicate results via presentations and reports.
