Do you want to learn from and collaborate with some of the greatest minds in the industry? At RTX, our internships, co-ops and full-time careers provide an exceptional foundation to work on complex problems, advance your skills and create a safer, more connected world. Discover opportunities to make a difference at RTX. The Mechanical Analysis and Test (MA&T) Department is responsible for ensuring structural and thermal design robustness across the Raytheon portfolio of products. From preliminary concepts to fielded weapon system support, MA&T delivers innovative structural and thermal engineering solutions utilizing methods ranging from classical fundamental & empirically based techniques to state-of-the-art finite element methods leveraging industry leading commercial tools; all complimented and validated by tests executed in a manner to ensure cost effective yet technically balanced solutions. Raytheon is seeking a Mechanical Thermal Engineer to join the MA&T Department. The Mechanical Thermal Engineer is responsible for detailed thermal analysis on products throughout their lifecycle from initial design trade studies and proposals through qualification testing to enduring production support. 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. The Mechanical Thermal Engineer 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. Finally, the engineer is expected to plan and support tests, perform data reduction and engage in thermal model correlation.
What You Will Do
Perform Hand Calculations to determine scope of higher detail analysis models Perform detailed thermal analyses to solve various program thermal challenges Generate test plans required to validate analyses and verify hardware compliance to customer requirements Analyze test data to validate and correlate models Work with experienced analysts on problems of moderate complexity to provide the answers needed under program cost and schedule constraints Review your work with peers to ensure technical accuracy Present results to internal, external, and government customers Generate detailed documentation of work and archive for reference Qualifications You Must Have Master’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date. Experience in thermal analysis with any of the following tools: FloTHERM, PATRAN, Thermal Desktop/SINDA or ANSYS or equivalent Experience in mechanical principles to solve classical thermal analysis solutions both inside and outside of finite element tools Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.
Qualifications
We Prefer Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering (STEM) major obtained by start date. Experience with solid modeling CAD tool such as CREO Experience in
