The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering has quietly resided among the top 5 aerospace engineering schools in the country for more than a decade - attracting the best minds to study on our Atlanta campus. With a faculty of more than 40 tenure-track professors and 40 administrative staff, and enrollment of more than 1,600, the School brings both breadth and depth to its research, scholarship, and instruction that few institutions can match.

The Aerospace Engineering School at Georgia Tech is currently ranked #1 in the nation for undergraduate programs and #4 in the nation for graduate programs.

This position is located in Atlanta, Ga

The Aerospace Systems Design Laboratory (ASDL) is seeking an aerospace engineer with a strong background in aircraft propulsion system modeling, secondary power subsystem modeling, mission analysis, and multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization to support applied research in the field of aeronautics.

Degree Required: Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering
Fields/Discipline: Propulsion System Architect and Subsystem Integration

As part of his or her responsibilities, the applicant is expected to conduct, lead, and publish research involving analysis of advanced propulsion system architectures and
electrified subsystem architectures. Three years of experience in modeling and simulation of advanced propulsion concepts (such as the hybrid electric propulsion
systems) and a variety of subsystems (such as the actuation system and the thermal management system) is desired.The applicant must be familiar with object-oriented design using MATLAB and NPSS to conduct relevant research. In addition, at least two years of experience in overall aircraft design is required. Specific aircraft design knowledge should include, but not limited to, constraint analysis and mission analysis. Experience utilizing statistic techniques (such as machine learning and surrogate modeling) and software (such as JMP) to perform trade studies, design space exploration, and multi-objective optimization is also preferred. The applicant will be responsible for managing and coordinating projects. This includes coordinating all communication with sponsors, meeting deadlines and schedule milestones, writing proposals, and supervising integrated teams composed of graduate/undergraduate students and professionals. Hence, excellent written and oral communication skills are a requirement. Furthermore, the applicant is also expected to engage in exploring collaboration opportunities with government agencies, academia and industry. A certain level of outreach to participate in technical committees, working groups and academic societies is therefore expected. Finally, the applicant is also highly encouraged to attend conferences, present results to a broad audience, and publish. Hence, strong evidence of publication record, including relevant articles in peer-reviewed journals and papers presented at technical conferences, is preferred.

• A Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, and three (3) years of relevant full-time experience after completion of that degree, or
• A Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, and five (5) years of relevant full-time experience after completion of a Bachelor’s degree, or
• A Doctoral degree in Aerospace Engineering
