Thermal Analyst

Tyvak International is seeking talented new team members to support the development of advanced space vehicles. Tyvak specializes in the development and integration of key components and technologies into highly integrated, high-performance nano-satellite platforms. The team’s expertise spans system architecture, design, manufacturing, and testing of mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems for small spacecraft.

As a Thermal Analyst, you will join a collaborative engineering team responsible for developing innovative thermal solutions for nanosatellite platforms across multiple projects. The role involves a blend of analysis, software and hardware activities, testing, integration tasks, and technical documentation within a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Working in a small, multidisciplinary team alongside hardware, software, mechanical, and systems engineers to develop effective solutions to complex challenges.
  


• Creating thermal simulations and performing analyses to support vehicle design efforts, primarily using ESATAN-TMS and Thermal Desktop.
  


• Sizing and defining the vehicle’s thermal control system architecture.
  


• Developing, implementing, and testing thermal control system hardware.
  


• Supporting the development of operational concepts for vehicle development and mission operations.
  


• Contributing to team discussions on vehicle architecture and design considerations for current and future missions.

• BS or MS in an engineering discipline, ideally with a focus on Space Engineering or related fields.
  


• Minimum of 2 years of experience in thermal analysis or similar engineering roles.
  


• Proficiency with Thermal Desktop is highly desirable.
  


• Familiarity with spacecraft and/or launch vehicle systems; experience with SmallSat or CubeSat missions is a plus.
  


• Highly motivated, proactive, enthusiastic, and capable of working independently.
  


• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to innovate and deliver effective solutions.
  


• Ability to lead and motivate project teams to ensure successful program execution.

Benefits

We offer a competitive EU-aligned compensation package, including a structured Welfare plan, private health insurance, and flexible working hours. Additional benefits are designed to support both your professional growth and personal well-being.
