Thermal Analyst Jobs

Thermal Analyst (Mid–Level)

Innovien is supporting a critical missile systems program. We're hiring a Thermal Analyst to own component-level thermal analysis as the program moves through major design reviews and testing, determining whether internal electronic equipment can withstand the extreme temperatures of launch and flight.

What You'll Do:

• Gather design inputs from mechanical, stress, and power engineering teams to scope and execute thermal analyses
• Build thermal models from scratch in Siemens NX Space Systems Thermal, defining heat loads, material properties, contacts, and boundary conditions
• Analyze thermal environments and deliver results (junction temperatures, surrounding heat sources) to component engineering teams for their own survivability analysis
• Determine component survivability and identify potential failure risks under launch and flight conditions
• Write clear, defensible analysis reports with design and testing recommendations

What You Bring:

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related Engineering field
• 4-8 years performing thermal analysis on aerospace hardware; payload or spacecraft/missile box-level experience preferred
• Hands-on experience building thermal models from scratch in Siemens NX Space Systems Thermal
• Proven ability to independently gather design inputs from cross-functional engineering teams
• Experience interpreting thermal simulation results and communicating findings through clear engineering reports
• Active U.S. Secret clearance
• Nice to have scripting in MATLAB or Python for automating model setup on large cases and post-processing results
• Experience analyzing short-duration, high-intensity thermal environments, such as aero heating soak
• Background on launch vehicle, missile, or spacecraft payload programs

Onsite 5 days/week — Denver, CO or Huntsville, AL (9/80 schedule with every other Friday off; M-F option available) W2 or C2C 6-month contract for funded analysis work, with strong likelihood of extension based on program funding history
