Aerothermal Engineer information

What is an aerothermal engineer?

An Aerothermal Engineer specializes in the study of how heat and airflow interact with aerospace structures, such as aircraft, rockets, and propulsion systems. They analyze and optimize thermal performance, ensuring efficiency and safety in high-speed flight and re-entry conditions. Their work involves computational simulations, wind tunnel testing, and material selection to manage extreme temperatures. Aerothermal engineers are crucial in industries like aerospace, defense, and space exploration, where thermal control is essential for performance and structural integrity.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an aerothermal engineer?

To thrive as an Aerothermal Engineer, you need a solid background in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer, typically supported by a degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering. Experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, thermal analysis tools, and familiarity with industry standards like ASME or ISO certifications are commonly required. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective teamwork and communication abilities set outstanding candidates apart. These competencies are crucial to designing, analyzing, and optimizing high-performance aerospace systems while ensuring safety and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

What does an aerothermal engineer do?

Aerothermal Engineers usually work on the thermal and fluid flow analysis of components such as jet engines, turbines, or hypersonic vehicles. On a daily basis, you might perform CFD simulations, analyze test data, propose design improvements, and collaborate with mechanical designers and test engineers to ensure optimal aerothermal performance. The role often involves balancing technical analysis with practical considerations, requiring close teamwork with other engineering disciplines. You may also contribute to design reviews, support prototype testing, and participate in continuous learning to stay updated on emerging technologies. This hands-on, problem-solving environment offers dynamic challenges and the opportunity to make a tangible impact on cutting-edge aerospace projects.

Job description

ReLogic Research, Inc. is seeking a self-starting, highly motivated Aerothermal Engineer to provide aerodynamic, aerothermal, and other design and analysis services to assist in developing high speed missile and aviation technology. ReLogic's central focus is to continually promote a culture that stimulates personal, professional, and intellectual growth, while developing elegant solutions to tough problems. We encourage teammates to be self-governing based on high standards of professionalism and judgement. This full-time role will be in direct support of ReLogic's efforts to solve priority problems highly aligned with our national defense strategy.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Work with team members, technical managers, and subject matter experts to develop analysis skills relevant to speed missile and aviation technology development
  • Conduct aerothermal analysis relating to hypersonic and high-speed vehicle design
  • Utilize test data and modeling and simulation tools to predict and measure high temperature material physics such as recession, char, and pyrolysis gases effects
  • Generate aerothermal loads database for structural design and use modeling and simulation tools to perform thermo-structural analysis
  • Apply aerothermal engineering best practices to existing applications and new developments including test-driven development activities
  • Develop written reports, briefings, and other documentation to present internally and to customer POCs

Requirements & Desired Skills

  • Strong interest in analysis (80% of time)
  • Active Secret security clearance or ability to receive and maintain clearance
  • BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (MS desired)
  • 0-10 years of general experience in aerothermal analysis (3+ desired)
  • Ability to travel both domestic and international
  • Experience with transient thermal analysis in Thermal Desktop, ANSYS, or Abaqus (Experience with AeroTPS, CMA, and ATAC desired)
  • Experience with maintaining multiple meshes (CFD, thermal, structural) and mapping data between meshes is desired

This is full-time salaried position with full benefits offered. Approximately 10% of travel is expected.

ReLogic's policy is to ensure equal employment opportunity without discrimination or harassment based on race, color, religion, gender (including pregnancy or childbirth), sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, national origin, age, citizenship, disability, military obligation, or any other characteristic protected by law. In cases of disability, ReLogic follows the Americans with Disability Act (ADA). ReLogic prohibits and does not tolerate discrimination or harassment.
