Intergalactic is a team of engineers, technologists, designers, mathematicians, and problem solvers committed to a singular idea: reviving the no-boundaries mentality in aerospace. We are a team of the nation's best, regardless of where we live. The Aerospace Thermal Systems Engineer fosters innovation and consistency by developing and being accountable for system-level architectures. In cooperation with the Program Management team, the Aerospace Thermal Systems Engineer leads technical development projects. This role is responsible for the technical execution of the program while also serving as the primary technical point of contact for clients. During the program, the Aerospace Thermal Systems Engineer manages a multi-disciplinary project team of subject matter experts in fields such as such as thermal/aerospace analysis, installation, mechanical design and analysis, reliability, controls, electronics and software, and testing. Expected Tasks, Duties, and Responsibilities Reasonable accommodations will be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the following essential functions. + Develop and be responsible for program's system architecture and technical approach. This can include thermal and controls analysis, reliability analysis, solid modeling, testing, test analysis, stress analysis, and other accepted methods in aerospace. + Identify and manage program's technical risks. + Serve as technical lead for programs, provide clear objectives that are measurable and attainable, and coordinate technical activities with internal resources (engineers across different functional groups) and external resources (vendors, contractors). + Work closely with the Program Manager to ensure successful execution of development programs. + Manage and account for technical requirements from the top down - 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. + Researching and recommending investments or changes in technology, toolsets, procedures, equipment, systems, etc. to continually improve the discipline health and the Intergalactic's products and services. + Communicate and collaborate with customers 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 products (RCCA, lessons learned, etc.). + Perform other duties as assigned. Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities + Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field. + Level of hire commiserate with experience and knowledge in aerospace engineering, designing, analyzing, testing, integrating, qualifying, and fielding products. + Excellent written and verbal communication. + Working knowledge of key aerospace technical disciplines including requirements management, technical verification and validation methodologies, mechanical design, materials, modeling/documentation, structural analysis, thermal fluid sciences, electrical systems, system controls, embedded controls, development testing and analysis, qualification analysis and testing. + Excellent interpersonal relationship building both internally and externally. + Understanding 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) + Experience and working knowledge 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 SolidWorks). + Basic coding/scripting experience (preferably in MATLAB or Python). + Knowledge and experience with steady state and dynamic system modeling and architecting high level controls. + Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite. + Independent initiative. + Productive collaboration. + A polite, helpful, and friendly demeanor. Additional Qualifications + Must be 18 years of age or older. + Must pass a background check and drug screen upon offer of employment. Expected Hours of Work + Schedule may vary during the hours of Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. Some flexibility in schedule is allowed with prior approval, but dependability and punctuality are paramount. Salaried crew members are generally expected to work a baseline of 40 hours per week, although a priority is placed on achieving results rather than tracking time. Supervisory Responsibility + The Aerospace Thermal Systems Engineer has indirect supervisory responsibility for crew members in their programs. Physical Requirements + This role requires sitting, walking, or standing for several hours at a time. This role requires the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, open cabinets, bend, or stand on a stool as needed. Work Environment + This job operates in an indoor office environment and routinely interacts with other crew members and customers. This role routinely uses both paper and electronic record keeping systems and communication equipment. Travel Requirements + Travel may be frequently required for this position. Work Authorization Eligibility to work in the United States is required, as is compliance with U.S. export control regulations.
