The Thermal Engineer will report to the project thermal architect or responsible engineer, while working on the project and the Head of Thermal Engineering for technical and departmental matters.
In addition, the Thermal Engineer will provide the detailed thermal design, make hardware selection and define and participate in the thermal testing. The production of design and analysis reports is expect, as required by the project.
The Thermal Engineering group is responsible for the analysis, development and test of spacecraft, product and component thermal control systems, in support of the various business units.
The spacecraft design includes low Earth orbit missions, geostationary spacecraft, interplanetary spacecraft and extraterrestrial planetary landers.
The products currently supported by the Thermal Engineering group are antennae, mechanisms, cryogenic coolers and spacecraft propulsion.
The responsibilities typically span the full project life-cycle from early conceptual design support, through qualification and up to final delivery to the customer. In some instances, support is required to launch and in-orbit operations.
Experience and Skills Required
Proven technical ability, or equivalent, in thermal analysis, design, or related areas, preferably in the spacecraft and / or space equipment sector.
Working experience with standard thermal analysis tools including ESATAN, ESARAD or Thermica would be preferable, plus a capability to perform quick hand calculations to support thermal design concepts.
Organisation and time management skills
Openness to innovation and to accepting best practices in a trans-national environment.
The Thermal Engineer must be able to work as part of a team.
The team may be a transnational team or wholly based in the UK.
Communication skills are important. The Thermal Engineer must be able to explain their designs to colleagues and understand the designs of others.
Qualifications
Degree in physics, mathematics, mechanical/aero engineering, or other relevant numerical subject.
Successful candidates will be required to be security cleared prior to appointment.
Given the nature of their work, our Client needs to obtain security clearance for all its employees. Sadly this is extremely hard to secure for non-British applicants. In effect this means that our Client can only consider British passport holders for this position.
