Thermal Design EngineerNew$149K

The Thermal Engineering team enables Anduril's rapid hardware development cycle by ensuring advanced defense systems perform reliably in demanding real-world environments. The team works across high-power, tightly integrated products where thermal architecture, analysis,…

What you'll do

• Support thermal design and analysis for integrated hardware products,: including drones, aircraft, missiles, or related defense systems

• Apply first-principles engineering judgment using hand calculations,: spreadsheets, and MATLAB/Python models to inform design decisions

• Build and maintain thermal FEA/CFD models to predict system performance and establish design limits

• Support prototype builds and thermal tests, including sensor selection, DAQ: setup, data post-processing, and results documentation

• Contribute to defining thermal architectures for rugged environments,: demanding flight envelopes, and mission-specific thermal conditions

• Partner with electrical, mechanical, aerospace, and systems engineers to: document power dissipation, operating modes, and thermal constraints

What they're looking for

• Present thermal analysis results and recommendations in internal design reviews
• Develop internal tools, workflows, or analysis methods that improve speed and: quality of thermal decision-making
• MS in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics, or a: related field with a focus on heat transfer, fluid dynamics, thermal sciences, or thermal systems
• Strong first-principles understanding of heat transfer and fluid dynamics,: including conduction, convection, radiation, fluid flow, and transient thermal behavior
