Thermal Analysis Engineer
Pubblicato il 24-10-2026 - The Exploration in Torino
Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.
Here at The Exploration Company we are developing, producing, and operating Nyx, a modular and reusable space orbital vehicle that can eventually be refueled in orbit, and which carries cargo - and potentially humans in the longer run.
We want you as a talented Thermal analysis engineer to help us in our mission by contributing to the development, justification and validation of our vehicle. As Thermal analysis engineer, you will be in charge of the thermal modeling and simulations to support the design definition and justification of the vehicle. You will work closely with our mechanical, CAD, avionics and mechanism engineers to optimize together the vehicle design, thermal architecture and performance. You will be part of the Nyx Thermal and ECLSS Team and will report to the Space Vehicle Thermal Team Leader.
Key Responsibilities In your capacity as a Thermal analysis engineer, your role will be continuously evolving, but day to day your duties will include:
To generate the thermal and fluids models,
with the right level of complexity depending on the maturity and the goals of the study,
To determine the thermal load cases through the entire system lifecycle,
To provide technical solutions on optimizing the design and the spacecraft thermal management, in collaboration with other subsystems,
To contribute to co-engineering sessions with various teams and suppliers to ensure the technical consistency and design optimization,
To support the test campaign preparation: test plan definition, exploitation for simulation comparison and correlation,
To contribute to the creation and improvement of the thermal analysis tools ,
To contribute to the validation and verification of the requirements,
To effectively communicate and provide recommendations through the analyses, preparation, and presentation of technical data,
To prepare the technical documentation and participate to design reviews.
What we would love to see from you Qualifications Advanced degree (Master of Science or PhD) in aerospace engineering, heat
