• Apply creative and innovative solutions and resolve anomalous performance issues across any component of the thermal system.
• Experience with test planning and execution.

Desired Skills:

• Hands on experience with Thermal Desktop and

SINDA/FLUINT.

• Experience using Python for scripting, data analysis, or model automation.
• Familiarity with first order heat transfer hand calculations.
• Experience designing spacecraft thermal control systems and hardware.
• Strong analytical skills for design and analysis of spacecraft thermal control subsystems, including the ability to lead investigations of complex thermal issues.
• Engineering and operational experience with spacecraft thermal control subsystem hardware and software.
• Experience with testing thermal hardware in complex systems, both planning and execution or appropriate background and aptitude for skill development.
• Exposure to integration and test (I&T) operations, such as MLI blankets installation and inspection of passive/active thermal control features.
• Ability and willingness to perform technical tasks during non-standard shifts, including 24/7 Thermal Cycle, TVAC, and launch support, with occasional extended hours.
• Skilled in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint).
• Excellent technical communication skills, including the ability to document and present analytical results to cross-functional stakeholders.
