This role is an exciting opportunity to join the Thermal team with responsibility for spacecraft level thermal design and analysis solutions on Low Earth Orbit, Geostationary Earth Orbit, and interplanetary missions. Working within the Thermal team on fast-paced projects to deliver practical Thermal Control Subsystem (TCS) solutions on schedule and within budget requiring a dedicated, experienced, innovative, and pragmatic approach.
Engineers at SSTL have involvement on a mission right from concept through to launch, commissioning, and operational life; a true cradle-to-grave experience, and will give you the chance to see your work in space in a rapid timescale! This key role will often sit within the core team of a satellite mission interacting with other technical leads across multiple disciplines to generate the technical solutions for innovative projects.
Responsibilities:
Thermal subsystem management including: Design and analysis of the spacecraft TCS Perform/manage TCS implementation and test activities Delivery of an overall thermal solution that fits in with company and project requirements Requirements capture Spacecraft level thermal analysis and design System/subsystem level interfacing and trade-offs Cost, risk, schedule, and performance trades Implementation of the design including appropriate hardware selection and management as required Test planning, test, and verification of the design Understanding and improving related company standards and work practices Perform/manage unit level analysis and design or piece part testing as required Management of subcontractors as required Interfacing to internal and external customers Management of one or more project work packages Qualifications:
