About Jesse Chuhta
I\'m interested in solving complex problems that involve mathematical application of physics principles to engineering analysis and design. I have 20+ years of experience in systems analysis, modeling and simulation (MATLAB, Fluent, Gambit, GASP, DAC, CBAERO, DPLR, GRASP, US3D, Pointwise, Tecplot, AWS), VTB (visual task boarding), flight sciences, design optimization, trade studies, software development, mission operations, systems engineering, parallel (HPC) computing, inter-disciplinary collaboration, post-flight data analysis, testing (tunnel/drop/ground/flight), instrumentation, verification and validation, mission analysis, anomaly investigation, and risk management involving commercial and civil programs. I’ve acted as principal technical investigator for multiple efforts and technical lead of multiple teams, with emphasis on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and I’ve been competitively selected for several LM Space professional development programs (EDGE, SE MAP, RTT, ATF, ASPIRE).
