DescriptionWe are looking for you to join our team as a Staff Thermal Analysis Engineer based out of Linthicum, MD.
What You'll get to Do: The thermal design team supports programs across the sector, including the airborne, ground mobile, ground stationery, and surface based naval applications, and across a variety of length scales ranging from ECS systems, EO/IR sensors and radar systems, chassis, CCAs, and device levels. This role has expectations perform on existing production contracts, and for candidates with qualified experience the possibility for work in basic research is available. The successful candidate will be able to:
- Perform electronics thermal analysis, requiring subject matter expert level experience in at least one thermal management technology. Examples include liquid cooled, air-cooled, two-phase flow, heat pipes, and refrigeration thermal solutions for Mission Systems platforms such as airborne, ground based, and naval applications
- Lead thermal designs by owning thermal requirements derivation, thermal architecture, and thermal performance of the design, while mentoring less experienced thermal engineers
- Provide oral and written presentations to internal and external customers and stakeholders
- Opportunities to research and design advanced electronics thermal management solutions using heat transfer principles to meet optimal thermal performance
This position is contingent upon the ability to obtain an active DoD Secret Clearance or the successful transfer of an active DoD Secret Clearance.
Basic Qualifications:Bachelor's Degree with 12 years of experience, master's degree with 10 years of experience, Ph.D. with 8 years of experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics or related technical fields.
