Thermal Engineer (Falcon, Dragon, & Starfall)
SpaceX, Hawthorne, CA
The role
The Aero/Thermal/Fluids (ATF) group owns the thermal design of SpaceX's launch vehicles, spacecraft, and hardware for Falcon, Dragon, and Starfall. As a thermal engineer in ATF, you will take hardware from a blank page: setting the thermal architecture, sizing the design, driving it through CAD and build, and validating it against ground test, flight, and on-orbit data. You'll make the engineering calls that keep components within limits across every phase of flight - ascent, on-orbit, reentry, and improve system performance to help us fly more, and more reliably.
