Senior Missile Structure and Actuation Engineer
nou Systems, Inc. (nSI) is now officially a 100% ESOP company. We value teamwork and collaboration, and this transition allows us to take that commitment to a new level. nSI empowers our customers by supplying products, services, and expertise with powerful, data driven insights that transform defense systems and improve capabilities. nou Systems, Inc. (nSI) is here to build systems that solve our nation's most challenging defense problems in an enjoyable, stimulating environment. We're looking for talented builders with high levels of curiosity and extremely strong grounding in fundamentals and engineering first principles. We are pleased to announce the opening for a Senior Missile Structure and Actuation Engineer who will join our elite R&D team in Huntsville, Alabama building transformative low cost interceptors for emerging DoD applications. Responsibilities:
Our small team has developed a game-changing interferometric RF seeker technology which has significant implications for making low-complexity, low-cost, high-performance interceptors for combating raids of asymmetric threats. Our seeker approach is patented, tested, funded by multiple customers, and in high demand for emerging threats.
You will be an integral part of a team developing a best-in-class interceptor around this seeker as our structure and actuation lead. Starting from your knowledge of both first principles and practical deployment challenges, you'll architect, rapidly prototype, and test the airframe, internal structure, and aero control actuators for highly maneuverable, small diameter (120 mm and lower) surface-to-air interceptor designs. Basic Qualifications: Master's degree minimum in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or similar technical field Seven years of full-time professional experience in missile or aerospace structures and actuation engineering roles Must possess or have the ability to obtain an active Secret Security Clearance Technical Competencies - You must demonstrate expertise in: Missile airframe structural design including monocoque, semi-monocoque, composite sandwich, and hybrid structures Actuator system design and integration (electromechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic) Finite element analysis (FEA) and structural optimization Aeroelastic analysis and flutter prediction Thermal-structural analysis for supersonic flight vehicles Manufacturing and assembly considerations for low-cost, high-volume, reliable supply-chain production Impact of structural and actuation choices on platform cost, other subsystems, and integration/manufacturing complexity Core Technical Skills: Deep understanding of structural dynamics, vibration, and shock environments in missile systems Sufficient technical expertise to understand the impact of seeker integration, warhead placement, propulsion loads, control surface effectiveness, and flight envelope on structural design Proficiency in rapid prototyping of structural designs from concept through flight test Demonstrated ability to develop innovative structural solutions from first principles for various flight regimes Strong materials understandings including composites, metals, and emerging materials Experience with actuator sizing, dynamics, and control system integration Software & Tools: ANSYS, NASTRAN, or similar FEA software for structural analysis CAD tools for detailed design Experience with multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) tools Familiarity with actuator modeling and simulation tools Preferred Qualifications: Experience with small diameter supersonic missile platforms Direct experience taking a missile structure from paper design through captive carry and free flight testing Experience in designing systems for reliable supply chains and volume manufacturing nou Systems, Inc. offers a comprehensive, total rewards package that includes competitive compensation and diverse benefits that reflect our company culture of service, excellence, and a supportive work environment.
