Description: The Senior Thermal Engineer will execute thermal‑analysis activities for aerospace and defense systems under the guidance of senior thermal leads. This role focuses on developing thermal models, performing steady‑state and transient heat‑transfer analyses, supporting design decisions for propulsion subsystem, and cooling solutions. In this role your responsibilities will include: Thermal Modeling & Analysis • Build and validate 2‑D/3‑D thermal FEM models using ANSYS Thermal Desktop • Conduct steady‑state, transient, conductive, convective, and radiative heat‑transfer studies. • Generate temperature, heat‑flux, and thermal‑gradient plots; calculate margins of safety. Design Integration • Work with system and subsystem engineers to incorporate thermal constraints early in the design cycle. • Provide thermal sizing recommendations for subsystem. Verification and Validation • Assist in defining test‑article requirements, instrumentation layout, and...
