Location:

AZ201: RMS AP Bldg 801 1151 East Hermans Road Building 801, Tucson, AZ, 85756 USA

Position Role Type:

OnsiteThe Mechanical Analysis and Test Department is responsible for ensuring the capability and positive thermal margin of all RMD Products. A thermal analyst in the MA&T Department has a vast set of responsibilities related to heat transfer and aerodynamic heating of attachment variety of different types of hardware on all of the RMD projects and are responsible for detailed Thermal analysis to support all phases of programs including development and production. The analysis tasks will span the spectrum from classical hand analyses to detailed analyses requiring the use of finite element analysis software. The selected candidate will work under only very general direction and will be expected to define the scope and level of analysis required to meet required objectives and assist in program planning. The selected candidate will be expected to present their work for peer reviews and to be a peer reviewer for other engineers’ work. The selected candidate will work with the customer and engineering leadership to define testing required to validate Thermal analyses and to verify that hardware is compliant with requirements. The analyst is expected to plan and support tests, perform data reduction and engage in thermal model correlation. They will also be expected to assist with proposal preparation including estimating the scope of new engineering projects.
Responsibilities to Anticipate: ·         Perform Hand Calculations to determine scope of higher detail analysis models·         Perform detailed analysis to solve diverse program thermal challenges·         Perform peer reviews of all analysis to validate process and results·         Document results according to RMD standards·         Deliver results to customers·         Act as a technical leader and/or lead analysis/test teams·         Work onsite including the ability to attend in-person meetings and visit laboratories

Qualifications You Must Have:·         Bachelor’s in in General Engineering, Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, Applied Physics or related field field from an accredited university.  ABET is the preferred accreditation standard. An advanced degree in a related field may be substituted for additional 3 years of experience.·         8 years of thermal analysis experience·         Thermal Analysis Experience using PATRAN, Thermal Desktop/SINDA or ANSYS, or equivalent·         Understanding of thermodynamic principles to solve classical thermal analysis solutions both inside and outside of finite element tools·         The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date

Qualifications We Value:·         Ten (10) or more years of experience in the thermal analysis of complex systems that require collaboration of multiple engineering disciplines·         Earned Value Management System knowledge·         Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities·         Experience in Electronics Cooling and Aerodynamic Heating Analyses·         Strong interpersonal skills working in a team environment with positive interaction·         Ability to travel to government and other facilities in support of program activities·         Experience in leading thermal testing: Planning, organization, execution, data reduction and correlation·         Advanced degree in aforementioned disciplines. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard·         Experience making presentation to external customers·         Experience as a technical leader and/or leader of engineering teams·         Proposal development experience. ·         Proficiency with engineering workstations running Windows and Office suite
