Role OverviewFirefly Thermal Engineers apply simulation and first-principles of heat transfer to solve challenging spacecraft thermal problems. Working alongside experienced engineers, Level I Thermal Engineers develop analytical models, support testing, evaluate thermal control concepts, and contribute to spacecraft that operate in demanding environments.
What You Will Do
Support development of spacecraft thermal models, perform thermal analyses, assist with subsystem and vehicle thermal trade studies, create and maintain Thermal Desktop models, and support thermal vacuum testing.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Ideal for an engineer eager to build expertise in spacecraft thermal analysis while learning industry-standard tools and engineering practices.
Requirements
- B.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field
- 0–3 years of relevant engineering experience
- Fundamental understanding of heat transfer principles
- Familiarity with engineering simulation software (Thermal Desktop, ANSYS, COMSOL, Simcenter, or similar)
- Basic programming experience with Python or MATLAB
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work effectively on multidisciplinary engineering teams
