About the role
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, MD, seeks a highly qualified aerospace and thermal engineering researcher to tackle defense-related challenges. The role focuses on aerospace & thermal engineering for rocket motor systems, including hypersonic flight and advanced propulsion.
You will join a multidisciplinary team performing aerodynamics, thermal/fluids modeling, combustion and sensor modeling, with opportunities to work on space hardware and national security programs.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
