About this role
The Strike Systems group at Corvid Technologies is adding Research Scientists to help support the development and application of new munition technology. These positions will join a growing team focused on developing concepts, researching & analyzing potential performance using in-house computational tools, and developing prototype designs that can be fabricated and tested for performance. This group is not only passionate about science but focused on delivering advanced technology to our Warfighters.
Researchers in this position support computational analysis munition technology development. Candidates will contribute to concept development, with opportunities to improve upon existing munition systems or developing a completely novel concept. Scientists will develop methods to understand the unique performance phenomena of hypervelocity and ballistic concepts using Corvid's high-fidelity multiphysics tools and applications (enhanced by our vast HPC resources). This team works closely with the designers and prototype fabricators to understand how technology integrates into munitions and the equipment required to test their prototypes.
The environment is technically challenging, but highly collaborative and focused on solving the most unique technical challenges faced by our Warfighters today. The Research Scientist will directly impact technology development at all phases and have the freedom to create products that directly improve the Warfighter's ability to meet an ever-changing threat environment.
