Senior Mechanical Engineer, Thermal Analysis joins the Test and Analysis team to ensure emerging products can withstand harsh air, land, sea, and space environments. This role involves taking ownership of thermal design aspects across hardware development programs by performing first-order assessments, developing detailed analytical models for prototype maturation, and creating predictions to support hardware testing. The engineer will perform hand calculations using MATLAB or Python, develop CFD models and simulations to predict heat transfer and fluid characteristics, and conduct test-model correlation to validate results. Key technical requirements include experience with thermal FEA tools such as STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm. The role focuses on solving critical reliability issues for high-performance imaging platforms through a fused approach of analytical modeling and strategic engineering validation to ensure product robustness in demanding operational conditions.
