Aerospace and Aviation
Bedford, MA (On-Site/Office)
Position: Thermal Engineer
Location: Lexington, Massachusetts (On-Site 4 Days/Week)
Length: Long-Term Contract (12+ Months)
Description:
• Strong background and experience with using commercial thermal analysis software tools including Thermal Desktop, Ansys, COMSOL, CAD software, and experience with environmental testing.
• Responsible for developing geometry based thermal models, applying physical and optical properties, accounting for critical mounting interfaces, application of dissipative heat loads, and executing thermal analyses to ensure safe operating temperature levels.
• Supports decision making in the system design architecture and overall thermal management, evaluate/select/procure thermal control hardware, and participate in the preparation and performance of developmental and qualification testing.
• Carries out system-level and detailed thermal design, analysis, and testing on optical and communication systems including supporting electronics.
• Projects range from platform level analyses to sensor assembly to detailed components.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
• Responsible for the end-to-end development and execution of geometry-based thermal models, identifying and applying appropriate thermo-physical and optical material properties, modeling critical mechanical, thermal, and radiative interfaces, applying representative dissipative heat loads, and executing steady-state and transient thermal analyses to ensure compliance with safe operating temperature limits and mission requirements.
• Provide thermal technical expertise to system-level trade studies and design reviews, supporting decision-making related to the overall system architecture and associated thermal management concepts and approaches.
• Evaluate, select, and procure thermal control hardware, and develop and execute plans for developmental, qualification, and acceptance testing.
• Carry out system-level and detailed component-level thermal design, analysis, and testing on a variety of space-qualified optical and communication systems, as well as their supporting electronics and structures.
• Projects span platform-, subsystem-, and component-level efforts across multiple programs and mission phases.
Qualifications:
Required Skills:
• Expertise in commercial thermal analysis software (Thermal Desktop required; in addition, COMSOL and/or Ansys desired) and CAD software (SolidWorks) is required.
Preferred Skills:
• Experience with thermal engineering for space and airborne platforms is preferred, including orbit-based thermal analyses and an understanding of passive and active thermal control techniques, including heat pipes, multilayer insulation (MLI), thermal coatings, and surface treatments.
• Significant experience with developing thermal architectures for space based systems, including a background with modeling and simulation of the space environment, orbital analysis, as well as hardware characterization testing is desired.
