Role Description: At Hermeus, you’ll have the opportunity to drive the design of the thermal management system architecture of high-speed (hypersonic) point-to-point vehicles. You’ll own thermal hardware design through manufacturing, aerothermal load inputs, material properties, and thermal systems & subsystem requirements.
Responsibilities:
- Design and implement thermal management system and thermal protection systems
- Own selection of hardware used for thermal management systems
- Responsible for providing thermal environments to supporting technical teams
- Hands-on manufacturing process development, including tools or fixtures required to manufacture and integrate the flight thermal hardware
- Use FEM software to perform the thermal and structural analysis
- Generate aerothermal loads database for structural design
- Create and execute test plans for thermal system V&V
Required Skills & Experience:
- Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace
- 3+ years of experience prototyping, designing, and building hardware
- Fundamental knowledge of additive and traditional manufacturing processes
- Expertise in heat transfer
Preferred Skills & Competencies:
- Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace
- Experience working in high temperature environments
- OnShape (or other CAD programs)
- Experience designing or working CMC’s
