The Senior Thermal Engineer joins the Thermal Engineering team to manage thermal design and analysis for advanced defense hardware, including drones, aircraft, missiles, and related flight systems. This role involves defining thermal architectures capable of withstanding rugged environments and demanding flight envelopes while collaborating with cross-functional engineering teams to address power dissipation and design tradeoffs. The successful candidate will build and maintain thermal FEA and CFD models, execute prototype builds and physical tests, and develop internal tools to improve analysis speed. Key technical requirements include expertise in heat transfer and fluid dynamics, proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and CAD software like SolidWorks or Siemens NX, and experience with simulation platforms such as STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm. The role solves critical thermal management challenges for high-performance hardware operating under extreme conditions.
