Principal Thermal Analyst/Sr Principal Thermal Analyst

Performing system related analysis in support of the development of aircraft subsystems as well as the integration of aircraft avionics and the installation of various aircraft hardware. Analysis includes, but not limited to, compartment temperature assessments as influenced by structural heat transfer and compartment heat sources. Performing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in support of aircraft subsystem integration and heat transfer modeling activities. May also include modeling fluid systems to assess fluid velocities and heat transfer coefficients over complex geometries. Provide technical guidance and may coordinate a team of engineers in thermal science related activities. Tasking may include system level test planning, execution support, verification, data processing, and troubleshooting. Tasking may include system level evaluations to verify requirements and ensure airworthiness criteria are met. Attending internal program, customer, and/or supplier technical exchange meetings and/or formal program milestone reviews to provide and/or obtain progress status updates. The selected candidate should thrive in a fast-paced work environment with high expectations, significantly diverse assignments, and collaborative/team settings across all levels.
