Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Lead the development and validation of spacecraft thermal control solutions, including high-fidelity modeling and architecture design. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure flight readiness and mentor junior engineers on thermal best practices.
Requires a BS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with over 7 years of relevant experience, specifically in spacecraft thermal analysis. Proficiency in tools like Thermal Desktop or SINDA/FLUINT and experience with TVAC testing are essential.
Quantum Space is redefining mobility and autonomy in cislunar and geostationary space. Our Ranger spacecraft deliver high delta-V and on-orbit maneuverability that enable customers to access, operate, and persist in orbits previously out of reach. We’re building the infrastructure, vehicles, and operational expertise that connect and protect assets across the Earth–Moon system.
We are seeking a Senior Spacecraft Thermal Engineer to lead the development, implementation, and validation of thermal control solutions for our spacecraft platforms. In this high-impact role, you will own major aspects of spacecraft thermal design, analysis, and verification, working closely with a fast-moving team of engineers and scientists to shape the future of in-space systems.
This role is for an experienced technical leader who thrives in a startup-paced environment, can take broad responsibility for thermal system performance, and can mentor junior engineers while also rolling up their sleeves for hands-on integration and testing.
