  • Design, evaluate, procure and test thermal solutions such as heaters, heat pipes, thermal interface materials, and surface coatings.
  • Develop processes and procedures for integration and assembly which ensure thermal design intent is met. Collaborate with the integration and test team in the installation of thermal hardware as needed.
  • Plan and run thermal vacuum testing and verification at the component and spacecraft level.
  • Mentor and support junior engineers.
  • Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly-growing team.

Requirements

  • Bachelor of Science degree in engineering or physics
  • 6+ years of experience in a thermal/mechanical role
  • Experience in thermal analysis and thermally-constrained design; computational thermal design experience (finite methods) is not required but highly preferred
  • Proficiency with mechanical CAD
  • A passion and enthusiasm for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development
  • Don't meet them all? Not a problem. Please apply even if you do not meet all these criteria.

Bonus
