About the role
- Develop and maintain thermal models of spacecraft systems using industry-standard tools (e.g., ESATAN, Thermal Desktop).
- Design and validate thermal control systems, including radiators, heaters, MLI, and coatings, to ensure mission success.
- Perform thermal analyses under varying orbital, surface and mission scenarios, and correlate results with test data.
- Lead thermal verification activities, including component- and system-level thermal vacuum testing.
- Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering teams to integrate thermal requirements into spacecraft design.
- Document thermal design, analysis results, and test outcomes in high-quality technical reports and specifications.
- Identify and mitigate thermal risks throughout the design and test lifecycle.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by feeding lessons learned into future missions.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- 3–5 years of experience in spacecraft thermal analysis and design of thermal control systems.
- Proficiency with thermal analysis tools (e.g., ESATAN, Thermal Desktop) and familiarity with 0D/1D thermal network modeling. Thermal Desktop is preferred.
- Hands-on experience with thermal testing in space-relevant environments (e.g., TVAC).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work both independently and in a multidisciplinary team.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Demonstrated adaptability and initiative in dynamic, fast-paced engineering environments.
