Thermal Engineering Intern
Dispatch, San Francisco, California
The role
The Thermal team is responsible for the analysis, hardware, and test that keep Spark-1 and its payloads within temperature limits through on-orbit operations, deorbit, and atmospheric entry.
Interns at Dispatch work directly on problems that affect upcoming missions. You'll own meaningful technical work and collaborate closely with engineers across mechanical, avionics, and vehicle systems as we design, test, and operate Spark-1.
What you will do
- Own or contribute to thermal analysis of the spacecraft bus, payload deck, and deployables across on-orbit, deorbit, and reentry cases
- Build and maintain thermal models in Thermal Desktop, FEMAP/Simcenter, or custom tools and correlate them to test data
