1d•$68,900 - $131,100•Onsite

About The Position

The Thermal Analyst II is an onsite, early-career role in Huntsville, Alabama, within Raytheon’s Mechanical Analysis and Test Department. The department supports structural and thermal design robustness across Raytheon products, from preliminary concepts through fielded-system support, using classical and empirical methods as well as finite element analysis and testing. The analyst performs detailed thermal analysis throughout product lifecycles, from design trade studies and proposals through qualification testing and production support. Work ranges from classical hand calculations to detailed finite element analyses and involves solving difficult problems with technically sound, practical solutions aligned with organizational objectives. The position requires thermodynamic competence, accountability for completing work within agreed cost and schedule, participation in peer reviews, and planning and supporting tests, reducing test data, and correlating thermal models. The analyst presents findings and documents and archives completed work. The role requires U.S. citizenship and an active, transferable Secret clearance before the start date. Relocation assistance is available. The stated salary range is $68,900–$131,100.
