Senior Thermal Analyst, Solid Rocket Propulsion

EVONA; United States; Sur place; USD 140 000 - 190 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

EVONA is seeking a senior Thermal Analyst to own the thermal analysis behind solid rocket motor propulsion programs, from early design trades through to static-fire correlation. You’ll work on motor cases, nozzles, insulation and igniters, taking a loosely defined problem and delivering robust results with minimal oversight.

You will model transient heating, assess ablative materials, provide loads to structural models, and correlate predictions to test data.

Qualifications

• Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 10+ years of thermal analysis experience.
• Thermal analysis of solid rocket motor hardware or hot-gas propulsion.
• Experience with transient thermal modeling using major tools.

Responsabilités

• Run thermal analysis on solid rocket motor hardware: motor cases, nozzles, closures, igniters and insulation
• Model transient heating from hot combustion gases, including convective and radiative heat transfer
• Analyze ablative and charring insulation and nozzle materials, including char depth, erosion and bondline temperatures
• Provide thermal loads into structural models and support coupled thermal-structural analysis
• Correlate thermal models to static-fire and thermocouple test data and feed findings back into design
• Write analysis reports and present results in design reviews
• Work across design, materials and test teams to set thermal requirements and margins
