Responsibilities
- Design and implement full spacecraft-level thermal models for current and next-generation spacecraft.
- Specify and support qualification testing at subsystem and system level.
- Own thermal hardware end-to-end: propose new thermal design concepts to improve performance, identify new suppliers, and test and validate component designs.
- Perform thermal analysis of passive and active thermal control components, electrical assemblies, subsystems, and systems.
- Support assembly, integration, and test (AIT) activities, including maintenance of thermal control components.
- Support operations teams in resolving thermal issues during Launch and Early Orbit Operations (LEOP) and beyond.
- Ensure smooth, on-time product delivery from concept through qualification.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of our existing products.
- Partner closely with all hardware engineering domains, AIT engineering, and QA to ensure products meet specification.
- Work with system and subsystem engineers to define requirements for new products.
- Collaborate with internal and external engineering and AIT teams during integration and build to confirm thermal solutions meet requirements and targets.
Requirements
- Extensive experience in thermal simulation as a Thermal Engineer in the space industry.
- Experience with TVAC testing and model correlation.
- Proactive, self-directed working style.
- Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills.
- Based in Espoo (most of the team works from Finland); up to 30% remote work is acceptable for this role.
- Experience working in multi-disciplinary environments (electrical, AIT, mechanical, propulsion, RF).
- Experience with thermal control of satellites at system and subsystem level, or comparable complex aerospace systems.
- Comfortable working cross-functionally with systems, electrical, and manufacturing teams.
- Strong teamwork, analytical, documentation, and communication skills.
Conditions
- Hybrid / Office workplace model.
- Employment is subject to applicable security screening (incl. SUPO).
