Job description
About the role
Mainstream Engineering Corporation is looking for a Senior Thermal Engineer to develop advanced thermal management technologies for military, government, and commercial applications. This R&D-focused role involves solving difficult problems, working with hardware, and turning ideas into real products. Thermal engineers can take an idea from concept through prototype, testing, and production.
Current work includes thermal systems for hypersonic vehicles, high-power laser systems, and power-dense aerospace platforms, with a focus on reducing size, weight, and power while improving system performance.
Technologies include:
- Microchannel cooling
- Additively manufactured 3D cooling passages
- Single-phase pumped fluid loops
- Vapor compression and other refrigeration cycles
- Radiation thermal management
- Heat exchangers and electronics coldplates
- Thermal energy storage
- Oscillating heat pipes
- Advanced experimental cooling techniques
There is an opportunity to identify new technologies and develop proposals around ideas.
Responsibilities
- Lead thermal engineering projects from concept through prototype, testing, and production.
- Develop innovative thermal management solutions for challenging real-world applications.
- Perform analytical calculations involving heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
- Develop and evaluate computational models using CFD and FEA tools.
- Design, build, instrument, and test experimental hardware.
- Develop laboratory test plans and analyze experimental data.
- Work with temperature, pressure, flow, and other instrumentation and data acquisition systems.
- Interact directly with customers and help transition successful technologies into production.
