The Company
Our client's mission is to expand humanity's frontier into the solar system and beyond. The next step on this journey is to enable manufacturing and habitation in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). Our client's plan to make this a reality is to build artificial gravity space stations.
The Job
Our client is looking for a Thermal Control Systems Engineer, reporting to the Staff Thermal Engineer, to support the development of the systems that will be required for the design and build of artificial-gravity human-rated space stations.
As a Thermal Control Systems Engineer for our client, you will have the opportunity to utilize your knowledge, experience, and creativity to develop novel solutions at the cutting edge of space technology. Their team is developing the necessary hardware to maintain environmental and thermal control as well as support life onboard our artificial-gravity commercial space station. This is a challenging role, as it involves design, analysis, testing, and manufacturing of components that are absolutely critical to the safety of future astronauts and passengers.
Functions
- Own the design and development of thermal control system subsystems and components for our artificial-gravity space station, from initial design trades to fully functional and validated system
- Iterate on manufacturing processes and development testing in a fast-paced environment
- Own the project delivery timeline from early design through production, launch, and orbit insertion
- Perform systems engineering tasks and fluid analyses
- Lead design reviews internally and externally with suppliers and customers
- Work with interdisciplinary stakeholders to ensure the component will integrate with the necessary avionics, software, and mission operations systems
- Make sure that all designs are manufacturable and reliable
- Bring technical excellence to everything you do
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or other engineering discipline
- Experience working with fluid systems or components
- 1+ years of hands-on hardware experience performing fabrication, assembly and/or testing
- 3+ years of experience working with fluid systems or components
- Demonstrated ability to own hardware or systems within an integrated engineering team outside a classroom setting
- 3+ years of hands-on hardware experience performing fabrication, assembly and/or testing
- Proactive problem-solving skills such as failure analysis, root cause investigation, and design of experiment creation
- Ability to perform trade studies using first principles and engineering fundamentals to make clear recommendations even with partial information
- Experience with rotating machinery
- Experienced in NX
- Solid understanding and application of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stack-up analysis
- Experience with structural analysis methods (hand calcs, FEMAP, ANSYS) in order to optimize hardware to strength requirements as well as to evaluate for life and fracture
- Knowledge of metallic and fluid system manufacturing techniques, processes, equipment, and other processes such as machining, welding, brazing, tube bending, etc.
- Able to work well in an integrated collaborative team environment, including frequent interactions with technicians, other engineers, and managers
- Highly self-motivated with strong organizational and written/oral communication skills - able to prioritize and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment with the ongoing drive for continuous improvement in all aspects of work
