Thermal Analyst
In a multi-disciplinary engineering team, the successful candidate contributes to the development of state-of-the-art spacecraft communication antennas or electronic subsystems by performing thermal design, analysis and test thus ensuring the products meet their thermal requirements.
Responsibilities :
- Select appropriate thermal protection & active or passive thermal control hardware, surface finishes and interfaces.
- Predict temperature distribution and heat loads in the hardware at different stages of product life : launch, orbit transition, and on-orbit.
- Based on evaluation of space hardware's thermal behavior and characteristics, recommend best mechanical design.
- Plan and run thermal environment tests on hardware to validate the thermal design and to make sure the hardware is safe and functional in the required thermal environments.
- Generate analysis and test reports.
Required Qualifications :
Sc. or the equivalent in Mechanical Engineering.Many years of experience in thermal analysis and generation of thermal math models (TMM) preferably with Nx / “Space System Thermal” (or “TMG”).Experience in delivering successful spacecraft or spacecraft subsystem thermal designs.Experience in planning and performing thermal tests.Knowledge and understanding of space environments and experience in the space industry is a critical asset.Ability to interface with specialists of other disciplines, notably “systems” specialists, to identify the best overall designsBilingual : French (Documentation is in French) and English
