Engineer – Junior to Mid-level

Responsibilities Include:

  • Assist in research, development, testing, and evaluation of forced entry, ballistic, vehicle anti-ram, and blast-resistant technologies, materials, designs, and construction systems.
  • Provide input on design standards, protective materials, and construction methods for existing structures, buildings under construction, and new building designs.
  • Support the design and construction of blast-resistant buildings and the implementation of blast mitigation measures for existing facilities.
  • Contribute to the development and improvement of anti-ram vehicle barriers and structural elements that enhance forced entry and ballistic resistance.
  • Offer guidance on blast effect vulnerabilities and protective designs for existing and new structures.
  • Participate in technical support for blast mitigation testing and related field activities.
  • Utilize structural engineering research methods to support the design and construction of blast-resistant infrastructure.
  • Perform computer modeling of structural responses to dynamic loading events.
  • Apply software tools such as CAD, BlastX (USACE), graphing/plotting programs, and standard office productivity software.
  • Lead research and development efforts in physical protection systems for overseas facilities against terrorist attacks.
  • Design and oversee implementation of blast-resistant structures for both new construction and upgrades to existing buildings.
  • Develop and evaluate anti-ram vehicle barrier systems to improve standoff distances from potential explosive threats.
  • Design advanced structural elements to enhance protection against forced entry and ballistic threats.
  • Provide technical guidance on blast vulnerabilities and protective solutions for both existing and in-design facilities.
  • Deliver support during blast testing activities and interpret results for application to real-world structures.
  • Conduct advanced structural modeling and simulations related to dynamic and blast loading using specialized software.
  • Maintain working knowledge and practical use of CAD, BlastX (USACE), graphing/plotting tools, and general office software.
  • Collaborate with industry committees and standards bodies; active membership in ASCE's Blast, Shock, and Vibratory Committee and ASTM is preferred.
  • Performs other job-related duties as assigned
