Senior Thermal Systems Design Engineer

San Francisco, United StatesOn-site

Requirements

To achieve this, we are integrating our advanced airframe and engine technologies—which include Duality™, our proprietary dual-use propulsion system—with a new flight operations model to make supersonic transport as efficient and economical as commercial air travel is today.
You navigate uncertainty and ambiguity by leveraging a strong understanding of first principles.
WHAT YOU’LL DO: - Generate CAD models, detailed engineering drawings, and apply appropriate GD&T - Architect thermal systems and develop 1-D fluid network models to predict system behavior, transient responses, and sensitivities - Architect and complete detailed thermal system design and size fluid system components such as pumps, heat exchangers, valves, and regulators - Use hand calculations and computational tools (CFD) to optimize component and system effectiveness - Analyze heat loads, conduction
experience in propulsion or similarly complex thermal environments - Proficient in CAD modeling (Siemens NX), drawing generation, and GD&T - Strong understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid behavior -

requirements and performance metrics - Diagnose thermal system problems efficiently and determine corrective actions WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR: - 5+ years hands-on

Experience designing and analyzing thermal systems using CFD and 1D network modeling tools - Informed on instrumentation types and limitations, and ability to anchor models with test data - Takes initiative for continuous improvement (not just completing assigned tasks) - Flexibility to work in fast-paced environment - Attentive to detail and maintain a high level of quality in all work PERKS &
BENEFITS: - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, including Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) - 401(k) program and transparent stock option plan - Self-managed and flexible time-off policy, including PTO, paid holidays, and sick time - Flexible work environment ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: At Astro Mechanica, we highly value in-office work to foster collaboration and strengthen our company culture.
