Thermal Engineer
Astranis, San Francisco, California
The role
As an Astranis Thermal Engineer, you will design, evaluate and test thermal solutions ranging from electronic chips to full spacecraft thermal vacuum tests. You must have a strong problem-solving background as well as hands-on testing skills. Experience with spacecraft or printed circuit board thermal mitigation are benefits but not required.
- Mature designs through conceptual, preliminary, and detailed design phases using practical passive and active thermal control techniques
- Support design trades that successfully balance performance margins, resource use, risk, cost, and schedule
- Perform thermal analysis to varying degrees of fidelity (simplified to detailed) on a variety of different types of hardware such as propulsion components, batteries, high powered electronics, RF components, mechanisms, and printed circuit boards (PCBs)
