Thermal Analysis Engineer

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 2 + years of professional spacecraft thermal analysis experience.

• Experience leading the thermal model for a complete spacecraft or similarly complex integrated vehicle.
• Experience supporting spacecraft TVAC or thermal-balance testing.
• Familiarity with Python for data processing, model automation, or test-data analysis.
• Experience with requirements verification, configuration-controlled analysis, or formal spacecraft design reviews.
• Familiarity with spacecraft electrical power systems, heater-control logic, and flight telemetry.
• Experience developing or maintaining vehicle-level spacecraft thermal models using Thermal Desktop and SINDA/FLUINT.
• Experience supporting a spacecraft flight program through design, test, integration, or flight readiness.
• Experience tracking or contributing to a spacecraft electrical power budget and reconciling inputs from multiple subsystem owners.
• Working knowledge of spacecraft heat-transfer fundamentals, orbital thermal environments, thermal-control hardware, and temperature-margin assessment.
• Experience comparing analysis predictions with thermal test data and correlating a thermal model.
• Ability to work across disciplines and communicate assumptions, risks, margins, and recommendations clearly.

• Primarily an individual-contributor role with ownership of assigned vehicle-level thermal analysis products.
• Occasional travel and off-hours support may be required during spacecraft test campaigns.
