Job Description - Senior Thermal Design & Analysis Engineer (SAU SAR Antenna Unit)

Team & Role:

You will be joining the SAR Antenna Unit (SAU) team as a Senior Thermal Design & Analysis Engineer. You will own the complete thermal architecture of the SAR Antenna Unit, ensuring stability, performance, and reliability from concept definition through on -orbit validation.

Responsibilities:

● Own the thermal architecture of the SAR Antenna Unit end -to -end.
● Develop detailed orbital thermal models (steady -state & transient).
● Perform high -fidelity thermal simulations for gradients, distortions, and thermo -elastic effects.
● Conduct coupled thermal -structural analysis for dimensional stability.
● Define and implement thermal control strategies (MLI, coatings, heaters, isolators).
● Establish temperature, distortion, and alignment budgets aligned with RF performance.
● Support deployable antenna design with thermal expansion evaluations.
● Develop and validate Thermal Mathematical Models (TMM) and correlate with TVAC test data.
● Support environmental testing (thermal balance, TVAC, vibration -thermal interaction).
● Collaborate with RF, structural, AIT, and Bus teams for compatibility.
● Generate and present reports for PDR, CDR, TRR, and QR reviews.
● Drive root -cause analysis for thermal anomalies and corrective iterations.
● Mentor junior engineers in thermal modeling and best practices.


Requirements

Must -have Qualifications:

● 3–6 years of hands -on experience in spacecraft or aerospace thermal design & analysis.
● Strong expertise in orbital thermal analysis and spacecraft environments.
● Proficiency in Simcenter 3D (thermal & coupled thermal -structural analysis).
● Deep understanding of thermo -elastic distortion and dimensional stability.
● Strong knowledge of passive & active thermal control techniques.
● Experience correlating thermal models with thermal balance and TVAC test data.
● Solid understanding of aerospace materials and thermal properties (CTE, conductivity, emissivity).
● Ability to translate RF performance constraints into thermal/mechanical design requirements ( efficient
thermal dissipation from IC and RF PCBs, EMI/EMC of the enclosure, etc)
● Strong technical documentation and design review participation.

Good -to -have:

● Experience with radar or high -frequency RF payloads.
● Familiarity with deployable structures.
● Working knowledge of structural FEA workflows in Simcenter 3D (NX Nastran).
● Experience designing thermal aspects of test support equipment.
● Exposure to spacecraft Bus thermal interface design.
● Experience with heater control electronics and sensor placement strategies.
● Background in thermal -optical property characterization.
● Prior flight hardware qualification experience.
● Experience in fast -paced private aerospace or new -space environments.

What We Look For:

● Ownership mindset and ability to lead complex thermal design efforts.
● Curiosity and eagerness to solve multidisciplinary challenges.
● Adaptability to fast -paced start -up environments.
● Strong analytical and problem -solving skills.
● Passion for aerospace and enthusiasm to contribute to real -world satellite missions.

Benefits


● Competitive compensation aligned with market standards.
● Experience rapid growth in a start -up culture.
● Flexible working hours.
● Opportunity to work closely with the Founding Team.
● Mentorship from advisors with decades of aerospace experience.
