Senior Thermal Engineer

I am working with a very fast growing small satellite manufacturing company in Denver who specialize in full lifecycle development.

They are seeking a Senior Thermal engineer experienced in all mission phases including design, analysis, test, and operations. The engineer would be responsible for ensuring all satellite components are designed to operate within temperature limits through the entire life cycle of a mission.

The ideal candidate for this role enjoys using on-orbit data to improve the design and analysis of future missions and can develop empirical tools for designing similar systems.

Responsibilities

• Perform integrated thermal analysis to determine radiator/heater sizing and external coatings required to maintain all elements of the SV in thermal limits
• Support hardware developers in selection of materials, process and tests that comply with thermal design
• Coordinate thermal interfaces between spacecraft subsystems. Flow down interfaces and environments to component suppliers
• Develop test and verification approaches and levels for thermal verification of components

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering or a related field. Master’s degree preferred but not required
• 5+ years of design or systems engineering or other relevant experience
