Senior Thermal Engineer

Senior Thermal Engineer - REMOTE

I'm partnering with a rapidly growing space organization developing and operating a cutting-edge space-based communications constellation
, and we're looking for an experienced Senior Thermal Engineer to join the team.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for a thermal engineer who wants to go beyond traditional design and analysis and work directly with spacecraft operating on orbit
.

You'll play a key role in ensuring the thermal health and performance of spacecraft throughout their operational life, working closely with Flight Operations, Software, Systems and Thermal Engineering teams
.

• Leading thermal support for on-orbit spacecraft operations
• Monitoring and analysing spacecraft thermal telemetry
• Defining thermal FDIR limits and automated responses
• Troubleshooting and resolving on-orbit thermal anomalies
• Supporting spacecraft CONOPS across different mission phases
• Performing thermal modelling and analysis using tools such as Thermal Desktop
• Supporting spacecraft and subsystem-level thermal testing
• Improving thermal monitoring, operational processes and flight strategies
• Working directly across Thermal, Flight Operations and Software teams

• 5+ years of spacecraft thermal engineering experience
• Strong thermal modelling and analysis background
• Experience with Thermal Desktop or similar tools
• Understanding of spacecraft thermal hardware, testing and operations
• Ability to independently investigate and solve complex thermal problems
• Exposure to Python, MATLAB or similar would be beneficial
• Experience supporting flight hardware or on-orbit spacecraft is highly desirable

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work much closer to the operational side of spacecraft engineering
, supporting real flight systems and solving problems that directly impact missions in orbit.
