Thermal Analyst

We are seeking a Thermal Engineer, who will primarily be responsible for performing thermal design, analysis and testing of spacecraft systems and subsystems. Whether we are peering into the infinite beyond or looking back at Planet Earth, mapping every star in our galaxy or counting trees in Amazonia, we have been helping to answer the big questions for over 50 years. With cutting-edge capabilities and decades of experience, Airbus has all that it takes to design, develop and operate major space systems. The Thermal Analysis & Space Physics team is responsible for the analysis, development, and testing of spacecraft thermal control systems; supporting a range of projects with applications including Telecoms and Navigation, Earth Observation and Science, and Exploration. The responsibilities of the team typically span the full project life cycle from early conceptual design support through qualification and up to final delivery to the customer. In addition to undertaking thermal engineering activities, the team leads a range of interesting Space Physics analysis activities including atomic oxygen fluence analysis, aerobraking simulation, modelling thruster plume fluxes, and more. Recent projects which the team have supported include: Solar Orbiter, Bepi-Columbo, Lisa Pathfinder, Eurostar Neo, and OneSat. HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

• Apply a proven understanding of thermal analysis principles to challenging engineering projects
• Undertake spacecraft thermal analysis work packages, working within a team of thermal engineers
• Work to a specification with the correct interpretation of thermal requirements
• Support thermal testing activities, including: generating test predictions, developing test plans and running tests, evaluating test results and correlating thermal models to test data
• Collaborate within multidisciplinary project teams to ensure design solutions can be developed on cost, quality, and time
• Author clear and concise thermal analysis reports, demonstrating understanding of thermal performance and compliance.
  
  Understanding of thermal design drivers for spacecraft systems, subsystems and/or equipment
• An understanding of thermal analysis techniques, methods, and principles
• Prior experience with thermal analysis tools is beneficial (Systema Thermica/Thermisol, ESATAN-TMS, Hyperworks, etc)
• Knowledge of a range of active and passive thermal control solutions, This job requires an awareness of any potential compliance risks and a commitment to act with integrity, as the foundation for the Company's success, reputation and sustainable growth.
