    Responsibilities:

    Group Overview:

    Our group performs system hardening technology research and development. We specialize in modeling the shock response of materials and structures to impulsive and thermal loadings. This involves application of hydrocodes (e.g., WONDY, ALEGRA and ALE3D) and finite element codes (e.g., ABAQUS) to impact and radiation driven problems. Radiation transport codes such as MCNP and ITS are used to calculate thermal loadings. Modeling results are compared to experimental results from a variety of test facilities including:

    • Light gas gun impact facility (Arcfield)
    • Laser and pulsed power driven Plasma Radiation Sources (PRS)
      (e.g. LLNL National Ignition Facility and Sandia Z Machine)
    • Laser ablation driven shock facilities (e.g., LLNL NIF Direct Laser Impulse)
    • Pulse power driven electron and proton beams (e.g., DTRA PITHON and NRL GAMBLE II) and
    • Explosive loading facilities (e.g., Sandia Light Initiated High Explosives (LIHE))

    Job Responsibilities:

    • Perform modeling, simulation, and mechanical response analyses of strategic systems materials and structures.
    • Generate complex meshes, specify constitutive model parameters, and properly model loads, boundary conditions, contacts, bonds, and fasteners.
    • Inspect simulation results and debug modeling issues.
    • Evaluate modeling assumptions and estimate uncertainty.
    • Validate models using experimental results.
    • Defend results at customer and peer review meetings.
    Qualifications:

    Required Qualifications:

    • A BS degree in Physics or Engineering and 5-7 years of related experience; an MS degree and 3-5 years of related experience; or a PhD and 0-2 years of related experience. An advanced degree is preferred and will be given preference.
    • Experience with solid mechanics or continuum mechanics.
    • Experience with hydrocodes and/or finite element structural analysis.
    • Knowledge of programming languages such as Python, Fortran, or C++.
    • Experience preparing technical reports and presentations that effectively communicate methods and results.
    • Must BE ABLE TO OBTAIN and maintain a Top Secret clearance.

    Desired Qualifications:

    • An MS or PhD in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Applied Mechanics, Applied Physics, or related field
    • An active Top Secret clearance
    • Experience with ABAQUS FEM code and VUMAT routines
    • Experience with 3D hydrocodes such as ALE3D, CTH, or ALEGRA
    • Demonstrated ability to meet milestones and deadlines
    • Demonstrated ability to work independently as well as part of a team
    • Demonstrated ability to prepare technical reports and presentations that effectively communicate methods and results
    • Strong oral and written communication skills - particularly with respect to technical reports and presentations
