BOAB Ventures is hiring a Mechanical Engineer who specializes in thermal analysis for a defense prime’s military avionics group. The team builds next generation technology for military aircraft with the speed of a small company and the depth of a large one. You will own thermal analysis for avionics electronics from concept through hardware integration and test. You will use first order heat transfer and fluid mechanics along with conjugate heat transfer CFD to predict thermal behavior at the system and component level.

This role fits a self driven engineer who can take high level requirements and run with them.

• Perform thermal analysis of avionics electronics using first order thermodynamics and fluid mechanics along with CFD simulation.
• Take projects from high level requirements to completion, deriving requirements and making sound technical assumptions where needed.
• Question requirements when necessary to get to the real product need.
• Propose multiple conceptual design solutions and document design intent clearly.
• Contribute directly to PDR, CDR, and TRR milestones, and provide schedule, cost, and technical input at the subsystem level.
• Work across mechanical design, systems, operations, quality, and procurement.
• Flag issues and risks early and report status to team leadership.
• Direct and review the work of newer engineers, designers, and technicians, and help onboard new hires and interns.
• Identify and submit process improvements that make daily work better.
