About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Deliver and take full ownership of the satellite thermal control system from scratch
- Work with mechanical, propulsion, electronics, and mission-planning teams
- Ensure reliable satellite thermal performance across launch, in-orbit operation, and end-of-life
- Perform steady-state and transient thermal analysis across TVAC testing, launch, and orbit
- Model and validate heat-management strategies in vacuum, where conduction and radiation dominate
- Identify and manage worst-case hot and cold thermal scenarios, including on-orbit environmental factors and internal power dissipation
- Design and implement thermal control solutions including MLI, radiators, heaters, thermo-optical coatings, thermistors, and thermal straps
- Develop and support TVAC test procedures, instrumentation setup, and post-test data analysis
- Conduct hands-on hardware testing to validate processes, instrumentation, materials, and components for in-house developments
Requirements
