Experienced Low Observables; LO Design & Integration Engineer

Low Observables (LO) Design & Integration Engineer

We are seeking a Design & Integration Engineer to support design and analysis activities for stealth/low‑signature systems. The engineer will perform LO material and structure design, electromagnetic analysis, integration and test support, data processing, and technical reporting.

• Perform design and analysis tasks for LO materials, coatings, treatments, and structural treatments to minimize radar, infrared, and other signatures.
• Develop and validate LO integration concepts for aircraft/vehicle structures and subsystems, including manufacturability and testability considerations.
• Use CEM solvers to model, simulate, and optimize LO components and systems (e.g., surface treatments, RAM, apertures, seams, RAM‑structure interactions).
• Perform sensitivity studies and trade‑offs across materials, geometry, and integration approaches to meet system‑level LO requirements.
• Process and analyze measured test data from laboratory and flight/field tests; compare test results to simulation and iterate designs.
• Produce technical documentation: detailed analysis reports, integration guidance, test plans, and summaries suitable for engineering and program management audiences.
• Communicate technical results and recommendations to multidisciplinary teams and support design reviews.
• Support manufacturing and test engineering to ensure LO design intent is preserved through fabrication and verification.

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or equivalent.
• 5+ years of related work experience or equivalent combination of education and experience.
• 2+ years of experience with LO integration and design, manufacturing considerations, and test support for aerospace/defense systems.
• Active Top Secret Clearance.
• Ability to obtain Special Program Access (U.S. Citizenship required).

• Strong understanding of electromagnetic principles relevant to RCS, scattering, absorption, reflection, aperture coupling, and material electromagnetic properties.
• Proficiency using CEM solvers (ANSYS HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, FEKO, SIE/PO or in‑house codes).
• Data processing and analysis skills using scripting and numerical tools (Python, MATLAB, Num Py, Sci Py).
• Strong technical writing and documentation skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams and communicate technical trade‑offs effectively.
• Experience with material characterization techniques for LO materials (e.g., permittivity/permeability extraction, reflectivity/absorptivity measurements, THz/IR characterization).
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes and quality controls for LO coatings and structural treatments.
• Experience with system‑level signature analysis, multi‑physics simulation, and measurement‑to‑model correlation workflows.
• Familiarity with configuration management, data versioning, and standard engineering tools (CAD, PLM).

• Conflict of Interest:
  Successful candidates must satisfy the Company’s COI assessment process.
• Relocation:
  Position offers relocation based on candidate eligibility.
• Drug‑Free Workplace:
  Organization conducts drug testing for qualifying employees as per policies.
• Shift: 1st shift.
• Security & Clearance:
  Requires active U.S. Top Secret Security Clearance and U.S. Citizenship; ability to obtain program access required.
• Export Control:
  Position requires a “U.S. Person” (citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or asylee).

• Competitive base pay and variable compensation.
• Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance, and paid/unpaid time off.
