Senior Thermal Analyst

What You'll Do

• Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply based on state of hardware design and program goals
• Develop appropriate CFD models and simulations to predict temperatures, heat transfer, and fluid characteristics as needed to meet design schedules. Generate, maintain, and correlate integrated FEMs for imaging platforms.
• Perform test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions
• Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions, including fundamental
• Prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers
• Stay current with advancements in thermal analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards

Required Qualifications

• Currently pursuing or have obtained a MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics
• 7+ years of experience in a thermal analysis or thermo-physics analysis role
• THERMAL FEA experience – STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm
• Familiarity with Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models and performing data acquisition & post-processing
• Experience with performing test-model correlation and test based characterization of critical modelling input parameters
• Good at working independently and with various teams and key stakeholders
• Highly motivated, self-starting, results oriented, and capable of working in a dynamic environment
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
