As a Senior Thermal Analyst on the Test and Analysis team, you will take ownership of thermal design aspects across hardware development programs to ensure products can withstand harsh air, land, sea, and space environments. You will perform first-order assessments using hand calculations, spreadsheets, and MATLAB or Python to guide preliminary designs, while developing detailed CFD models and simulations to predict heat transfer and fluid characteristics. Your role involves creating and correlating integrated FEMs for imaging platforms and collaborating with environmental test engineers on instrumentation and data processing. To succeed, you must possess expertise in thermal FEA tools like STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm. You will solve complex engineering challenges by applying first principles to develop validated models that support the rapid prototyping of high-performance systems while ensuring product robustness through rigorous analytical modeling and qualification test campaigns.
