Senior Thermal Engineer
As the Senior Thermal Engineer, you will play a key role in predicting the complex aerodynamic and aerothermal conditions for spacecraft vehicles. You'll leverage your expertise in CFD simulations, thermal analysis, and fluid dynamics to ensure the safe landing and recovery of this ground-breaking spacecraft.
Collaborating closely with our Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) and structures teams, you will ensure that this reusable spacecraft is designed, tested, and optimized for success during re-entry.
What You'll Do:
- Manage and enhance the aerodynamic database for spacecraft.
- Lead the setup, meshing, and analysis of CFD models, focusing on compressible flow conditions from subsonic to hypersonic speeds.
- Provide critical pressure, heat flux, and aero buffet/vibration loads for the thermal and structures teams.
- Develop aerodynamic design solutions to solve unique re-entry challenges.
- Validate simulations with data and improve models based on post-flight results.
- Conduct hypersonic CFD simulations for chemically reacting flows (Mach > 5).
What You Bring:
- 5+ years of experience in thermal analysis, heat transfer simulations, and CFD.
- Proficient in NASA Fun3D, DPLR, Laura, US3D, or similar CFD tools.
- Solid understanding of fluid dynamics—from subsonic to hypersonic flows.
- Experience with compressible CFD models and validating simulation results.
- A passion for solving complex engineering problems and driving innovation.
