About Aetherflux

Aetherflux is pioneering space-based solar power technology, focusing on designing satellites equipped with high-power laser systems to beam energy from space to Earth. We are building a dynamic team of engineers passionate about working at the forefront of optical, laser, and mechanical system design. Join us in revolutionizing energy delivery using cutting-edge technologies.


Overview

The Thermal-Mechanical Engineer plays a critical role in the design, analysis, and integration of thermal and mechanical systems for our satellites equipped with high-power laser systems. As a member of the team, you will be responsible for ensuring that all mechanical structures and thermal control systems function optimally in the harsh conditions of space, maintaining the integrity and performance of both the satellite and its laser components.


Responsibilities

  • Thermal System Design & Analysis: Develop and implement thermal control strategies to maintain optimal operating temperatures for satellite components, including high-power lasers.
  • Mechanical Design & Integration: Design and analyze mechanical structures and mechanisms, ensuring they meet the required strength, weight, and durability specifications for space applications.
  • Heat Transfer Solutions: Identify and implement both active and passive thermal management solutions, such as radiators, heat pipes, phase change materials, and thermal insulation.
  • Material Selection: Select and validate materials suitable for space environments, considering factors like thermal properties, radiation resistance, and mechanical strength.
  • Simulation & Modeling: Utilize thermal and mechanical simulation tools (e.g., ANSYS, SolidWorks) to predict system behavior under various operational scenarios and environmental conditions.
  • Testing & Validation: Plan and conduct thermal-vacuum tests, vibration tests, and other environmental tests to validate the performance and reliability of thermal-mechanical systems.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration: Work closely with electrical, optical, and systems engineers to ensure seamless integration of thermal and mechanical systems with other satellite subsystems.
  • Documentation: Create and maintain detailed technical documentation, including design specifications, analysis reports, test plans, and results.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay updated on emerging technologies and methodologies in thermal and mechanical engineering to enhance system performance and reliability.


Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in thermal and mechanical engineering, preferably in aerospace or satellite systems.
  • Proficiency with thermal and mechanical analysis software (e.g., ANSYS, Thermal Desktop, SolidWorks).
  • Strong understanding of heat transfer principles, including conduction, convection, and radiation.
  • Experience with mechanical design and analysis for structures operating in extreme environments.
  • Familiarity with space qualification standards and environmental testing protocols.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • 5+ years of professional experience with thermal management of high-power systems, such as lasers or electronics in space applications.
  • Experience with the design and integration of thermal control systems for satellites or spacecraft.
  • Knowledge of advanced thermal management technologies, such as two-phase cooling or thermal storage systems.
  • Hands-on experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a multidisciplinary team environment.
