Experience with programming languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB, C++) for analytical modeling, simulation and engineering problem‑solving. Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Experience with soft goods / flexible structures (e.g., fabrics, membranes, composites, inflatables, parachutes, sails, balloons, etc.). Familiarity with textile engineering, coatings, or permeability/diffusion modeling. Knowledge of seaming, bonding, and joining techniques (RF welding, heat sealing, adhesives, stitching) and their structural implications. Experience modeling or testing membrane structures under load, including wrinkling, creep, and long‑term deformation. Familiarity with coatings and barrier layers, including permeability, gas retention, and environmental degradation (UV, moisture, temperature cycling). Knowledge of export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Experience with FSAE, DBF, Rocket Team, or similar projects.
