Job Description

This position is eligible for a minimum of $20k Sign-On Bonus

**Sign-on bonuses are not permitted for internal candidates.

The Mechanical Analysis and Test Department is responsible for ensuring positive thermal margin of all RMD Products. From the preliminary concept to fielded weapon support, MA&T delivers innovative and robust thermal analysis solutions utilizing methods ranging from classical fundamental and proprietary empirically based techniques to state-of-the-art finite element methods and commercial computer codes; all complimented and validated by tests executed in a manner to ensure cost effective yet technically balanced solutions.

The Thermal Analyst is responsible for detailed Thermal analysis to support all phases of programs including development and production.  The analyses will cover a wide range of difficult problems, requiring solutions that are imaginative, thorough, practicable, and consistent with organization objectives. The analysis tasks will span the spectrum from classical hand analyses to detailed analyses requiring the use of finite element analysis software.  A thermal analyst of this salary grade is expected to have a level of technical competence with thermodynamic principles.  The thermal analyst will be held accountable for completing his/her work within the agreed upon cost and schedule.  Additionally, the selected candidate will be expected to present their work for peer reviews and to be a peer reviewer for other engineers’ work.  The customers of this position will typically include internal personnel and programs but may extend to external Government(s) personnel and programs. The analyst is expected to plan and support tests, perform data reduction, and engage in thermal model correlation.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Perform Hand Calculations to determine scope of higher detail analysis models
• Perform detailed analysis to solve diverse program thermal challenges
• Perform peer reviews of all analysis to validate process and results
• Document results according to RMD standards
• Deliver results to customers (internal and external)
• Act as a technical leader (help define/refine and/or develop MA&T department technical processes and tools) and/or lead analysis/test teams
• Work on a Raytheon plant-site including the ability to attend in-person meetings, visit test laboratories

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience unless prohibited by local laws/regulations.
• 5 years of thermal analysis experience or 3 years with an advance degree.
• Thermal Analysis Experience using at least one of these tools FloTHERM, PATRAN, Thermal Desktop/SINDA or ANSYS or equivalent
• Experience of thermodynamic principles to solve classical thermal analysis solutions both inside and outside of finite element tools
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date. U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Qualifications We Value:

• Six (6) or more years of experience in the thermal analysis of complex systems that require collaboration of multiple engineering disciplines (such as a weapon system)
• Earned Value Management System knowledge
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities
• Experience in Electronics Cooling and Aerodynamic Heating Analyses
• strong interpersonal skills working in a team environment with positive interaction
• Ability to travel to government and other facilities in support of program activities
• Demonstrated experience in leading thermal testing: Planning, organization, execution, data reduction and correlation
• Basic understanding of CAD tools to facilitate finite element solutions
• Proficiency with engineering workstations running Windows and Office suite
• Advanced degree in disciplines. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard
• Requires advanced knowledge of work area typically obtained through advanced education combined with experience. May have practical knowledge of project
• management. Practical to substantial knowledge of RTX projects, programs or systems with the ability to make enhancements and leverage in daily work.

Typically requires:

• A University Degree or equivalent experience and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience, or An Advanced Degree in a related field and minimum 3 years’ experience. A PhD can account for 5 years of experience as required for this position.
