Thermal Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and optimize thermal management systems for Mach’s vehicles from system to component level.
• Perform analyses to understand how heat transfer, thermal loads, and environmental changes impact performance and the vehicle's structural integrity.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including propulsion, structural, and aerodynamics teams, to integrate thermal solutions into vehicle designs while maintaining performance and manufacturability.
• Develop thermal testing procedures, including thermal cycling, environmental testing, and failure mode analysis, to ensure system reliability.
• Provide actionable insights into how different types of thermal management systems influence vehicle performance.
• Create technical documentation, including detailed thermal analysis reports, design guidelines, and test reports.

Job requirements

• Experience in thermal analysis, with a focus on aerospace applications such as engines, avionics, and aircraft structures.
• Strong understanding of heat transfer principles, thermal loads, and their effects on avionics and vehicle structural performance.
• Proficiency in thermal analysis software and related simulation tools (e.g., STAR-CCM+, Icepak, Simscape, AMESim, etc.).
• Experience with thermal testing, validation, and environmental testing methods.
• Strong understanding of scalability and designing thermal solutions suitable for mass production.
• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with experience working in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field; a Master’s degree is preferred.
• Experience with conjugate heat transfer (CHT) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
