BOAB Ventures; Carlsbad (CA); On-site; USD 85,000 - 130,000; Full time

Job summary

BOAB Ventures seeks a Mechanical Engineer specializing in thermal analysis for avionics electronics. You will own thermal analysis from concept through hardware integration, using heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and CFD to predict system performance.

You will drive requirements, develop multiple design concepts, and contribute to PDR/CDR/TRR milestones while collaborating with design, systems, and procurement teams. A TS/SCI clearance is preferred.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Experience in thermal analysis for avionics/electronics.
• Ability to derive requirements from high-level specs.

Responsibilities

• Perform thermal analysis of avionics electronics using first order thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and CFD.
• Take projects from requirements to completion, deriving requirements and assumptions.
• Propose multiple design solutions and document design intent clearly.
• Contribute to PDR/CDR/TRR milestones with schedule, cost, and technical input.
• Collaborate across mechanical design, systems, operations, quality, and procurement.
• Identify and communicate risks early to leadership.
• Mentor and onboard junior engineers and technicians.
• Suggest process improvements to daily workflows.

Job description

BOAB VENTURES

Thermal Analyst, Electronics Packaging (Mechanical Engineer)

Location: Onsite at one of three client sites: Chantilly, VA; Palm Bay, FL; or Carlsbad, CA

Clearance: Must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance. Active TS/SCI preferred.

About the Role

BOAB Ventures is hiring a Mechanical Engineer who specializes in thermal analysis for a defense prime’s military avionics group. The team builds next generation technology for military aircraft with the speed of a small company and the depth of a large one. You will own thermal analysis for avionics electronics from concept through hardware integration and test. You will use first order heat transfer and fluid mechanics along with conjugate heat transfer CFD to predict thermal behavior at the system and component level. This role fits a self driven engineer who can take high level requirements and run with them.

What You Will Do

• Perform thermal analysis of avionics electronics using first order thermodynamics and fluid mechanics along with CFD simulation.
• Take projects from high level requirements to completion, deriving requirements and making sound technical assumptions where needed.
• Question requirements when necessary to get to the real product need.
• Propose multiple conceptual design solutions and document design intent clearly.
• Contribute directly to PDR, CDR, and TRR milestones, and provide schedule, cost, and technical input at the subsystem level.
• Work across mechanical design, systems, operations, quality, and procurement.
• Flag issues and risks early and report status to team leadership.
• Direct and review the work of newer engineers, designers, and technicians, and help onboard new hires and interns.
• Identify and submit process improvements that make daily work better.
