The Thermal Analysis Engineer role is part of the Test and Analysis team, which ensures emerging products are ready for harsh environments. The team supports product teams across the full life cycle to design, develop, and validate new and existing products.

As a Thermal Analysis Engineer, you will perform thermal analysis and take ownership of thermal design aspects across hardware development programs. Responsibilities include:

- Executing first-order assessments of designs to guide preliminary design architecture

- Developing detailed analytical models to mature prototype designs and predictions to support hardware testing

- Using tools such as MATLAB, Python, CFD models, and simulations to predict temperatures, heat transfer, and fluid characteristics

- Performing test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions

- Working closely with environmental test engineers to support test design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing

- Preparing technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers

Requirements:

- MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with a focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics

- 7+ years of experience in thermal analysis or thermo-physics analysis

- Thermal FEA experience with tools like STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm

- Familiarity with Matlab or Python for developing analytical models and performing data acquisition and post-processing

- Experience with test-model correlation and test-based characterization of critical modeling input parameters

- Ability to work independently and with various teams and stakeholders

- Eligibility to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred qualifications:

- Experience with structural, thermal, and optical performance (STOP) models for high-performance imaging systems

- Knowledge of climatic and/or dynamic testing, including instrumentation and data acquisition fundamentals

- CAD skills and ability to make high-quality engineering drawings

- Experience in an immersive interdisciplinary technical project
