Job Description & How to Apply Below
Are you an experienced people leader with a strong background in structural and thermal analysis? Do you have a passion for building high‑performing teams and bridging the gap between innovation and practicality across diverse engineering projects? If so, we want you to join our Brampton team.
Who We’re Looking For
The Manager, Structures & Thermal Analysis is a member of the engineering leadership team and reports to the Senior Manager, Mechanical Engineering. This role leads the structural and thermal analysis discipline supporting both hardware unit development and full spacecraft systems. The Manager is accountable for technical quality, consistent methods, and strong execution of structural and thermal analysis across integrated product teams and program environments.
Responsibilities
Strategic Direction and Planning. Set direction and strategy for the structures and thermal analysis discipline in alignment with department objectives. Establish capability roadmaps (methods, tools, capacity) to support unit‑level development and spacecraft system programs.
Technical Ownership & Execution. Lead and/or oversee structural and thermal analysis for mission‑critical hardware and spacecraft systems (static, buckling, modal, random vibration/shock, acoustic, fatigue, thermal balance, and thermal distortion as applicable). Ensure margins to requirements are demonstrated and risks are identified, mitigated, and communicated.
Analysis Methods, Models, and Verification. Define modeling strategies, verification approaches, and analysis plans (including assumptions, load/thermal cases, correlation strategy, and acceptance criteria). Ensure work products are traceable, reviewable, and aligned with program verification and qualification needs.
Cross‑functional Decision Support. Partner with mechanical design, systems engineering, electrical, AIT, and program teams to incorporate structural and thermal considerations early. Provide actionable recommendations to guide architecture, design trades, material selection, and test planning.
Risk Management and Problem Resolution. Proactively identify technical and execution risks (multi‑physics coupling, margins, environments, model validity, test‑to‑analysis gaps). Act as a first‑line escalation point and drive timely resolution with stakeholders.
Independent Review and Technical Governance. Lead discipline reviews and contribute to program‑level reviews to ensure analysis quality, consistency, and readiness for design release, qualification, and delivery.
Program Reviews and Readiness Assessments. Provide independent assessment of structural and thermal risks and readiness throughout the program lifecycle. Support Engineering Review Teams in identifying mitigations, closure plans, and verification evidence.
People Leadership and Development. Recruit, onboard, assign, coach, and evaluate structures and thermal analysts. Conduct regular one‑on‑ones, provide timely performance feedback, and partner with senior leadership on career development, progression, and succession planning.
Engineering Resource Facilitation. Own discipline capacity planning, prioritization, and staffing to support program execution, R&D, and business development. Balance urgent program needs with long‑term capability building and ensure on‑time delivery of analysis work products.
Cross‑functional Collaboration. Strengthen collaboration with engineering, program management, manufacturing/production, quality, supply chain, and test teams to ensure analysis assumptions reflect as‑built realities and verification plans are executable.
Customer and Stakeholder Support. Provide timely analysis leadership support for technical inquiries, design changes, nonconformances, and anomaly investigations, ensuring stakeholders have clear, risk‑informed recommendations.
Mentorship and Technical Leadership. Establish a strong review culture (peer reviews, checklists, sign‑off criteria). Mentor engineers to increase technical depth, judgment, and autonomy, and ensure consistent application of best practices across teams.
Tools, Methods and Standards. Drive development and improvement of analysis…
