About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Thermal Engineer to lead thermal engineering methodology across advanced missile systems.

This role covers thermal architecture, high-fidelity modeling, first-principles analysis, simulation, hardware testing, ground testing, and flight-test data analysis. You will work across aerodynamics, structures, electrical, propulsion, systems, manufacturing, and test engineering teams.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for a hands-on thermal engineer who can move between analytical modeling, hardware testing, and flight data while working across multiple engineering disciplines to solve challenging thermal problems.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform thermal design and analysis of unmanned air vehicles from conceptual through detailed design.
  • Define thermal system architectures and material-selection strategies.
  • Perform thermal analysis using standard thermal-analysis codes and engineering/hand methods.
  • Conduct transient thermal analysis for time-varying mission profiles.
  • Plan, execute, and analyze specialized thermal ground testing.
  • Plan and support flight testing and post-flight thermal data analysis.
  • Develop MATLAB/Python models using first-principles methods to support engineering decisions.
  • Collaborate with aerodynamics, structures, electrical, and systems engineers.
  • Present thermal status during formal internal and customer reviews.
  • Prepare specifications, test procedures, technical reports, and other formal engineering documentation.

Required Qualifications

  • BS or higher in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
  • In-depth understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and high-temperature environments.
  • 5+ years of aerospace thermal engineering experience on rocket, spacecraft, aircraft, or missile programs.
  • Experience with electronic unit thermal analysis and component-junction temperature control.
  • Ground testing experience with thermal instrumentation and data acquisition.
  • Strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or similar tools.
  • Formal technical documentation experience.
  • SolidWorks or Siemens NX experience.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

  • MS or higher degree with a focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics.
  • Material ablation-response modeling experience.
  • Knowledge of material degradation and surface phenomena in demanding thermal environments.
  • Experience with specialized thermal ground-test facilities.
  • Flight-test experience, including instrumentation design and post-flight analysis.
  • Experience with Thermal Desktop/SINDA.
  • Experience with manufacturing and assembly of thermal systems.
  • Active U.S. security clearance.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
