About Us: At Raytheon Missiles & Defense, you can try new things and make a bigger difference across a broader end-to-end solution, a richer technology and product set, an expanded range of disciplines, a growing global footprint and a more diverse team of colleagues and customers.
Job Summary: The Mechanical Analysis and Test Department is responsible for ensuring the structural integrity and 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. 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 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.
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.

    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:
    
    • 
      
    •
