About The Position

Raytheon is seeking a Senior Thermal Engineer to be responsible for detailed thermal analysis on products throughout their lifecycle from initial design trade studies and proposals through qualification testing to enduring production support. The analysis will cover a wide range of difficult problems, requiring solutions that are imaginative, thorough, practicable, and consistent with organization objectives. The tasks will span the spectrum from classical hand analyses to detailed analyses requiring the use of finite element analysis software.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
Experience in thermal analysis i.e. (FloTHERM, PATRAN, Thermal Desktop/SINDA, ANSYS or equivalent).
Experience presenting to external customers.
Experience in mechanical principles to solve classical thermal analysis solutions both inside and outside of finite element tools and an ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities.
Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance
Ability to obtain INTERIM U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date
