Turin, Italia The Exploration Company A tempo pieno

Here at The Exploration Company, we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refuelled in orbit and that can carry cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.

We want you as a talented Space Vehicle Thermal engineer to help us in our mission by contributing to the development, justification and validation of our vehicle.

As Thermal Engineer, you will be in charge of the thermal design definition and justification of the vehicles. You will work closely with our mechanical, CAD and avionics engineers to optimize together the vehicle design and performance. You will be part of the Vehicle Design Team and will report to the Principal Thermal Engineer and the Vehicle Design Lead. You will work in close collaboration with Avionics, Design and AIT teams.

Key Responsibilities

In your capacity as a Space Vehicle Thermal Engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:

  • To generate the thermal and fluids models, with the right level of complexity depending on the maturity and the goals of the study

  • To determine the thermal load cases through the entire system lifecycle

  • To provide technical solutions on optimizing the design and the spacecraft thermal management, in collaboration with other subsystems (propulsion, avionics, ECLSS…)

  • To contribute to co-engineering sessions with suppliers to ensure the technical consistency

  • To support the Thermal Control System algorithm definition with Flight Software and Avionics teams

  • To support the test campaign preparation: test plan definition, conducting the tests, exploitation for simulation comparison and calibration

  • To contribute to the creation and improvement of the thermal analysis tools

  • To effectively communicate and provide recommendations through the analyses, preparation, and presentation of technical data

  • To prepare the technical documentation and participate to design reviews

What we would love to see from you Qualifications
  • Advanced degree (Master of Science or PhD) in aerospace engineering, heat transfer and fluid mechanics, or another related field

  • 3 to 5 years of experience working in space vehicle thermal design

  • Good knowledge of thermal management and both ATCS and PTCS

  • Strong knowledge in Thermal and fluid analysis

  • Experience with several thermal software (Thermal Desktop, ESATAN) is strongly appreciated

  • Experience with programming (Python, Matlab...)

  • Experience with CFD is a plus

  • Fluent in English. German, French and Italian is an asset

Skills and Behaviours
  • Strong oral and written communication skills

  • Strong analysis and problem-solving skills

  • Strong organizing and prioritization of tasks

  • Positive and flexible attitude to get the job done

  • Demonstrates behaviours consistent with The Exploration Company’s core values of Vision, Competence, Integrity and Passion
