As a Staff Thermal Engineer, you will contribute to thermal analysis and design efforts for unmanned aerial vehicle avionics and thermal/fluid systems. You will develop and validate analytical, numerical, and computational models for heat transfer and fluid flow using hand calculations and CFD tools such as FloEFD. You will drive test planning, instrumentation, and data analysis to correlate models with experimental results.

Key responsibilities include:

• Contributing to thermal analysis and design efforts for unmanned aerial vehicle avionics and thermal/fluid systems
• Developing and validating analytical, numerical, and computational models for heat transfer and fluid flow using hand calculations and CFD tools such as FloEFD
• Driving test planning, instrumentation, and data analysis to correlate models with experimental results
• Communicating technical findings clearly through executive-level briefings, design reviews, and written reports

Requirements include:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline
• Minimum 7 years of professional experience in avionics or electronics thermal engineering
• Strong expertise in heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation) and fluid mechanics
• Deep understanding of active and passive cooling solutions and their integration at component and system level
• Proficiency with thermal analysis and CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS Icepak, FloEFD, STAR-CCM+)
• Proficiency with CAD design tools such as NX, SolidWorks, or similar
• Demonstrated experience applying first-principles reasoning to complex engineering problems
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of leading technical discussions and presenting to stakeholders

Preferred qualifications include:

• M.S. or Ph.D. in a relevant engineering discipline
• Experience with high-altitude aircraft avionics cooling and thermal design
• Familiarity with aircraft integration constraints (power, weight, volume, maintainability, safety)
• Hands-on experience with thermal and fluid system testing, instrumentation, and validation
• Knowledge of materials and manufacturing methods relevant to thermal management (pumps, heat exchangers, composites, etc.)
• Experience guiding trade studies, proposals, and customer interactions in aerospace or defense programs
• Background in multi-disciplinary system integration, spanning avionics, fluid systems, and systems engineering

Salary: $136,730 - $205,096 a year

Benefits: Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + Equity

Note: Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location.
