Torch Technologies is looking for an Entry-Level Aerospace Engineer.

As a Entry-Level Aerospace 6DOF Simulation Engineer I your duties will include the following, but are not limited to:

• Under the supervision of senior personnel, develop six degrees of freedom (6DOF) models to test and evaluate flight software for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Targets and Countermeasures (TC) program. Simulations are developed for a variety of vehicles and modeled end-to-end with both flight-software-in-the-loop (SIL) and processor-in-the-loop (PIL) configurations.
• Assists in the research, design, development, and testing of structures, propulsion units, and guidance and control subsystems for aircraft, missiles, or spacecraft. Assists in the routine analysis of aerospace product or equipment specifications and performance requirements to determine designs that can be produced by existing manufacturing or processing facilities and methods.
• Evaluates new technologies of routine complexity for application in improving design of aerospace systems. Plans, coordinates, directs, and evaluates testing of aerospace systems that are routine in nature. Performs standard risk assessment of aerospace systems and generates risk mitigation plans and strategies. EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering, a related field or equivalent experience. ENTRY LEVEL position.
