• Manage   thermal and performance   technical requirements   and   assist   the program Systems Engineer in their   requirements   traceability,   decomposition, derivation, and   verification   &   validation.   

• Allocate and decompose   high-level   requirements into   lower-level   specifications   to internal functional groups, components, and suppliers as applicable   for thermal and performance requirements .  

• Researching and recommending investments or changes in technology,   methodology ,   toolsets,   procedures, equipment, systems,   etc.   to   continually   improve the   discipline   health and the   Intergalactic’s   products and services.  

• Communicate and   collaborate with   c ustomers   and suppliers as part of   design   development process .    

• Review and approve documentation for transition from prototype to production.  

• Provide engineering support to trouble shoot and diagnose non-performing product s (RCCA, lessons learned, etc.) .  

• Perform other duties as assigned.  

​​ Required Minimum Qualifications: • Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field from an accredited college or university + Minimum of 2-3 years of thermal fluids experience (OR a high school diploma / GED with a minimum of 6-7 years of experience)

• Working knowledge of key aerospace technical disciplines including   requirements management, technical verification and validation methodologies,   mechanical design, materials, modeling/documentation, structural analysis, electrical systems, system controls, embedded controls, development testing and analysis, qualification   analysis   and testing.  

• Deep   expertise   in the   thermal fluid sciences   including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics,   and   heat   transfer.  

• Experience and   expertise   in   thermal fluid systems analysis and   modelin g   including   understanding   of   nonlinear ,   gradient   and gradient free   numerical   iterative   solvers and optimization techniques .    

• Excellent interpersonal   relationship building   both internally and externally .  

• Familiarity   of aerospace requirements management methodologies and processes – traceability,   decomposition, derivation   verification, and validation.  

• Functional understanding of major   aircraft   systems : environmental control systems , powerplant, electrical, hydraulics, controls, avionics, power generation,   and   structures .  

• Experience with Vapor Cycle Systems (VCS), Liquid Cooling Systems (LCS )   and/or Air Cycle Systems (ACS)  

• Modeling e xperience   and   working knowledge of   the physics of   standard components in VCS, LCS, and ACS such as heat exchangers, pumps, compressors,   turbines,   fans, valves, motor and motor controllers, water collectors/separators, etc.  

• Familiarity with environmental testing and qualification methods such as MIL-STD-810 and DO-160  

• Basic CAD experience ( preferably in   NX or   SolidWorks) .  

• Deep understanding of   coding/scripting experience (preferabl y   in MATLAB /Simulink   or Python) .  

• Expertise   building, using, correlating, and   maintaining   steady state and dynamic system modeling and architecting high level controls.
