Key responsibilities & impact- Join the Plume Analysis team supporting the Lunar Transfer Stage vehicle
- Simulate flow environments around the vehicle across rarefied gas dynamics and fluid-particle interaction regimes
- Coordinate with thermal, structures, GNC, EVA, and propulsion design teams to translate analysis requirements into simulation tasks
- Develop analysis approaches for plume flowfield characterization, surface impingement heat flux, and pressure loads
- Execute CAD preparation and defeaturing, mesh generation, CFD/DSMC simulation, post-processing, and results delivery
- Perform 2D axisymmetric and 3D CFD simulations of rocket nozzle and plume flowfields using research-grade solvers on HPC and cloud infrastructure
- Perform DSMC analysis for far-field plume environments and surface impingement heating
- Develop Python-based pipelines for heat flux, pressure, contamination transport, and ejecta distributions
- Deliver surface heat flux and pressure boundary conditions via Boundary Condition Mapper and formal reports
- Support NASA collaborations through technical deliverables and meeting participation
- Document analyses in formal reports conforming to NASA HLS DRD standards
- Serve as a technical interface between the Plume Analysis group and internal and external customer teams
Requirements
What you’ll need- M.S. or Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field preferred; B.S. considered with commensurate experience
- 5–7 years of experience in space vehicle, launch vehicle, or high-altitude flow modeling and simulation
- Experience with the full CFD analysis process: geometry preparation, meshing, solver execution, and post-processing
- Understanding of compressible fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics in rocket propulsion and vacuum plume expansion environments
- Experience with rarefied flow modeling and understanding of Knudsen number, continuum breakdown, DSMC or DSMC-adjacent methods, mean free path, and transition-regime flow
- Proficiency with Python for scientific computing and post-processing
- U.S. citizenship or nationality, U.S. permanent residency, or lawful admission to the U.S. as a refugee or asylee
- Successful completion of Blue’s Standard Background Check
- Desired: Experience with research-grade or custom CFD solvers such as Loci/CHEM, DPLR, LAURA, or US3D
- Desired: Experience with DSMC tools such as DAC or SPARTA
- Desired: Experience with Large Eddy Simulation (LES)
- Desired: Experience with CAD defeaturing and surface/volume meshing tools such as SpaceClaim, ANSA, or Pointwise
- Desired: Experience submitting and managing large-scale jobs on HPC or cloud platforms
- Desired: Experience delivering analysis products to NASA programs under DRD or equivalent documentation requirements
- Desired: Familiarity with spacecraft propellant thermochemistry such as MMH/MON-3 or LOX/LH₂
- Desired: Experience with plume-surface interactions, fluid-particle interaction, and regolith ejecta modeling during lunar or planetary landing operations
