Original job description

Job Title: Thermal Engineer Spacecraft and Satellite SystemsJob DescriptionThis onsite Thermal Engineer role focuses on the thermal analysis, modeling, and testing of circuit cards, electronic assemblies, and satellite components to ensure reliable performance in harsh space environments. The engineer will support spacecraft and satellite design efforts from concept through environmental qualification, working closely with multidisciplinary teams to integrate robust thermal solutions into complex space hardware.Responsibilities

Perform detailed thermal analyses on circuit cards, electronic assemblies, and spacecraft hardware using industry-standard thermal analysis tools.
Develop and refine thermal models to support design decisions for satellites and other space systems.
Evaluate thermal performance of components and assemblies, identify potential issues, and propose design improvements to enhance reliability and efficiency.
Support thermal vacuum (TVAC) testing, thermal cycling, and other environmental qualification activities for space hardware.
Collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to integrate thermal considerations into multidisciplinary designs.
Prepare clear and comprehensive technical documentation, including analysis reports and presentations for internal and external design reviews.
Work with manufacturing and test teams to ensure thermal design intent is maintained throughout the product lifecycle, from build through test and integration.
Support mechanical design projects by contributing thermal analysis, thermal design, and thermal engineering expertise.
Assist in satellite integration and test activities, ensuring thermal requirements and constraints are properly addressed.
Support environmental testing campaigns by helping define test conditions, reviewing data, and correlating results with thermal models.

Essential Skills

3+ years of experience in thermal analysis or thermal engineering, preferably on complex electronic or space-related hardware.
