True Anomaly
Overview
Thermal Engineering Manager role at True Anomaly. Lead and grow the thermal engineering capability with hands-on spacecraft thermal design and analysis, while managing and mentoring a small team of thermal engineers. Set standards for analysis, testing, and best practices to support True Anomaly’s rapidly developed space systems. Mission and Values
True Anomaly pursues innovative technology at the intersection of spacecraft, software, and AI to enhance space capabilities for the U.S., its allies, and commercial partners. The peaceful use of space supports prosperity on Earth, including communications, finance, navigation, and logistics. Our values emphasize creativity, challenging assumptions, and that the people are our competitive advantage. Responsibilities
Lead and mentor a small team of thermal engineers, setting technical direction, standards, and best practices for thermal analysis and testing. Collaborate with product-focused teams (mechanical, electrical, software, and automation) to rapidly develop innovative thermal designs. Perform integrated thermal analysis to size heaters and radiators and determine external coatings to keep spacecraft elements within thermal limits. Conduct detailed thermal analysis across various design reference missions (DRMs). Design and help develop detailed part and assembly drawings for heaters, MLI, and other thermal-control components. Assist with electronic thermal predictions and board-level analysis. Coordinate thermal interfaces between subsystems. Lead and support Thermal Vacuum and Thermal Cycle testing, including model correlation. Contribute to and review technical documentation to ensure high-quality thermal analysis deliverables. Support on-orbit operations as the thermal subject matter expert. Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering (or related field) with training in analysis of structures and fluids. 6+ years of professional experience in space thermal analysis and control. Excellence in thermal vacuum testing, analysis, and model correlation. Thermal experience with spacecraft subcomponents such as optical payloads, mechanisms, and structures. Proficiency in tools such as Thermal Desktop and SolidWorks. Experience setting technical standards, mentoring junior engineers, or providing technical leadership. Passion for the space industry and ability to work in a multidisciplinary team. Ability to work autonomously with limited requirements or management oversight. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Preferred Skills And Experience
Master’s degree in aerospace engineering (or related field). Experience managing or leading small engineering teams. Familiarity with rapid hardware development in a startup or fast-paced environment. Compensation
Base Salary: $155,000-$215,000 Equity + Benefits including Health, Dental, Vision, HRA/HSA options, PTO and paid holidays, 401K, Parental Leave Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related knowledge and skills, education, location, and experience. Additional Requirements
Ability to maintain or obtain TS/SC I clearance. Hybrid work environment with onsite requirements; expect to be onsite at our Gravity Works facility in Denver at least 3 days per week. Work environment and physical demands as described; including temperature, noise, bending, sitting, lifting, and driving as applicable. To submit your application, follow the directions provided. This position will be open until filled. For ITAR compliance, U.S. citizenship, lawful permanent residency, protected status, or eligibility to obtain required authorizations may be required. True Anomaly is committed to equal employment opportunity. If you require accommodation due to a disability or other needs, please let us know.
