About the Role
We are seeking a
Senior Thermal Engineer
to lead thermal engineering methodology across advanced missile systems.
This role covers
thermal architecture, high-fidelity modeling, first-principles analysis, simulation, hardware testing, ground testing, and flight-test data analysis
. You will work across aerodynamics, structures, electrical, propulsion, systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a hands-on thermal engineer who can move between
analytical modeling, hardware testing, and flight data
while working across multiple engineering disciplines to solve challenging thermal problems.
Key Responsibilities
Perform thermal design and analysis of
unmanned air vehicles
from conceptual through detailed design.
Define thermal system architectures and material-selection strategies.
Perform thermal analysis using standard thermal-analysis codes and engineering/hand methods.
Conduct
transient thermal analysis
for time-varying mission profiles.
Plan, execute, and analyze specialized thermal ground testing.
Plan and support flight testing and post-flight thermal data analysis.
Develop MATLAB/Python models using first-principles methods to support engineering decisions.
Collaborate with aerodynamics, structures, electrical, and systems engineers.
Present thermal status during formal internal and customer reviews.
Prepare specifications, test procedures, technical reports, and other formal engineering documentation.
Required Qualifications
BS or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
In-depth understanding of
heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and high-temperature environments
.
5+ years of aerospace thermal engineering experience on rocket, spacecraft, aircraft, or missile programs.
Experience with electronic unit thermal analysis and
component-junction temperature control
.
Ground testing experience with thermal instrumentation and data acquisition.
Strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or similar tools.
Formal technical documentation experience.
SolidWorks or Siemens NX experience.
Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
MS or higher degree with a focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics.
Material ablation-response modeling experience.
Knowledge of material degradation and surface phenomena in demanding thermal environments.
Experience with specialized thermal ground-test facilities.
Flight-test experience, including instrumentation design and post-flight analysis.
Experience with
Thermal Desktop/SINDA
.
Experience with manufacturing and assembly of thermal systems.
Active U.S. security clearance.
