About the role

Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon.
We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way.
No remote/telework arrangement is available for this position.

Develop comprehensive system‑level thermal models of complete assemblies, as well as detailed sub‑assembly and part‑level models.
Build high‑fidelity thermal models of circuit‑card assemblies that extend down to individual component junctions.
Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams to ensure design concepts are manufacturable and meet program objectives.
Prepare and support Technical Reviews, including Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and Critical Design Review (CDR).
Execute hand‑calculation checks to validate and cross‑verify computational thermal models.
Design and specify thermal environmental test plans that confirm model predictions and certify hardware performance.

Proficiency with thermal‑analysis software such as FLUENT, FEMAP or SINDA, or equivalent tools.
Hands‑on experience with thermal‑vacuum chambers, hot‑fire rigs, high‑temperature ovens, and temperature‑measurement instrumentation (thermocouples, RTDs, IR cameras).
Familiarity with MIL‑STD‑810, MIL‑STD‑461, and other defense‑related thermal‑safety standards
ability to prepare compliance documentation.
Conduct both steady‑state and transient thermal simulations to predict temperature fields, heat‑flow paths, and required heat‑sinking solutions.
U.S. Citizenship is required for all positions with a government clearance and certain other restricted positions.

Current US Government DoD Secret Security Clearance
SINDA skill plus
Knowledge of MINIVER or other aero heating codes a plus
