- Develop thermal models using Thermal Desktop (for system-level) or ANSYS Icepak (for component-level) based on inputs from external teams.
- Forecast temperatures of spacecraft and components throughout all mission phases.
- Identify and resolve any discrepancies with thermal requirements.
- Conduct trade studies and optimize thermal design solutions while collaborating with external teams on trade-offs.
- Document thermal analysis findings and present them during program reviews.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or a related field.
- Over 5 years of relevant experience in thermal analysis, specifically with Thermal Desktop or ANSYS Icepak.
- In-depth understanding of heat transfer principles in space environments.
- Strong knowledge of standard spacecraft thermal hardware.
- Proven ability to build trust and maintain professional relationships, contributing to an inclusive culture.
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
- Must be a U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or legally admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Master's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
- At least 2 years of experience managing technical teams or leading functional groups.
- More than 8 years of experience in thermal analysis for spacecraft systems.
- Solid understanding of pumped fluid loop hardware and semi-passive devices.
- Familiarity with agile project management methodologies.
- Knowledge of thermal environments associated with lunar missions.
- Experience with safety-critical aerospace vehicle certification processes.
Compensation:
Compensation for this role varies by location and experience.
Inclusivity Statement:
We value diversity and encourage individuals to apply even if they do not meet every qualification listed. Your unique experiences may align perfectly with our needs.
Benefits:
We offer a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid parental leave, and a 401(k) plan with company matching.
