Engineer - Terminal Ballistics Research

About Us: Established in 1981, SURVICE Engineering is a nationally recognized, single-source engineering service provider for Government and Industry organizations involved in all phases of the systems engineering process. We're proud to have supported the development, testing, and analysis of many of the major U.S. combat systems in the field today. SURVICE Engineering is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to conduct and oversee experimental tests and analysis of data for terminal ballistics phenomena. Job Location: Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD Specific Duties: Manage databases, data organization systems, and information exchange practices related to terminal ballistic experimental tests and analyses. Analyze and summarize terminal ballistic data including velocimetry, flash X-ray radiographs, high speed optical images, phase contrast imaging or X-ray diffraction. Apply theories, principles, and methods related to solid/structural mechanics, impact physics, and material behavior at high strain rates to research terminal ballistics phenomena. Setup, maintain, calibrate, and activate electrical and mechanical subassemblies. Perform computational studies using or developing advanced computational tools associated with shock physics and material failure using hydro codes. Conceptualize launch system/mechanisms for novel weapons systems. Support the physical maintenance and upkeep of Government laboratory facilities and equipment used for terminal ballistic experiments. Prepare Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) associated with the relevant experiments. Prepare and present presentations and written documents summarizing efforts Minimum Required Education/Qualifications: 2 Years relevant experience with Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering or related engineering degree; 0 Years relevant experience with PhD Mechanical Engineering or related engineering degree, but should have relevant research background. Knowledge in the use of three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD), CAD best management practices, CAD tools, SolidWorks, ProEngineer, and/or other design software. Experience conducting data analysis with MatLab, MathCad, LabVIEW, Python or similar analysis tools Experience with ultra-high speed instrumentation including flash X-ray, photonic Doppler velocimetry and imaging Relocation assistance is available.
