Responsibilities -- Ballistics and Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) Survivability Engineering, a group within Loads & Survivability, is responsible for planning, developing, assessing, and qualifying all vulnerability reduction and survivability enhancement features to be integrated into Sikorsky Aircraft products. The results are formulated into design recommendations which are flowed down to the various aircraft design organizations for incorporation into the system design. The recommendations must provide an optimized survivability design solution within the cost and weight goals of the specific program.

The Ballistic Vulnerability Analyst works with design engineering and program management to develop, analyze, test and integrate ballistic vulnerability reduction features at a component, system, and total air vehicle level. Activities are focused on design assessment through the use of specialized state-of-the-art analytical codes.

The NBC Survivability Analyst conducts (NBC) vulnerability assessments of the total air vehicle system, including individual subsystems and components. This is accomplished through material coupon specimen screening, or testing, to determine degradation due to exposure to an NBC contamination environment.

Education -- B.S. in Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering

Experience/Qualifications -- Secret Clearance a benefit, a minimum 3 years experience in aerospace design and analysis of aircraft systems, helicopter or aircraft system survivability analysis experience, prior military experience and/or helicopter piloting experience.

Additional Comments -- The applicant should expect to have to travel periodically to Government meetings and Testing sites, in addition to off-site meetings at Ballistic Analysis Subcontractor's facilities.
