About Us:
At Raytheon Missiles & Defense, by combining our vast resources and investments, we can dedicate ourselves to solving mission-level vs. product-level customer challenges – together we can anticipate more, move faster and make a bigger impact on the big picture.

Job Summary:
The Mechanical Analysis and Test Department is responsible for ensuring the structural integrity and positive thermal margin of all RMD Products. This position is located in Huntsville, AL.

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. A thermal analyst in the Mechanical Analysis and Test Department has a vast set of responsibilities related to heat transfer and aerodynamic heating of attachment variety of different types of hardware on all of the RMD projects.

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.

We value diverse skills and experience, so don’t hold back. Your qualification could add tremendous value to our team. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
• Ability to travel to government and other facilities in support of program activities.

Ph.D. is equal to 5 years of experience.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires bachelor’s degree and 5 years of prior relevant experience OR an Advanced degree and 3 years of relevant experience.
• Thermal Analysis Experience using at least one of these tools FloTHERM, PATRAN, Thermal Desktop/SINDA or ANSYS or equivalent.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Value:

• Five (5) or more years of experience in the thermal analysis of complex systems that require collaboration of multiple engineering disciplines (such as a weapon system)
• Understanding of thermodynamic principles to solve classical thermal analysis solutions both inside and outside of finite element tools.
• 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.
• Proficiency with engineering workstations running Windows and Office suite.
• Demonstrated experience in leading thermal testing: Planning, organization, execution, data reduction and correlation.
• Advanced degree in aforementioned disciplines. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.

What We Offer:
Whether you’re just starting out on your career journey or are an experienced professional, we offer a robust total rewards package that goes above and beyond with compensation; healthcare, wellness, retirement, and work/life benefits; career development and recognition programs. Some of the superior benefits we offer include parental (including paternal) leave, flexible work schedules, achievement awards, educational assistance, and child/adult backup care.

The opportunity to work with and learn from a very diverse and highly skilled department of thermal analysts who are experts in their respective specialties. The department currently has over 50 thermal analysts including multiple engineering fellows. The department also currently offers a robust set of Raytheon-taught engineering courses on relevant topics ranging from engineering theory and application, to engineering processes and tools specific to RMD.
