As a Senior Prototyping Engineer – Thermal Systems & Cooling Integration, you will become an integral part of our Prototyping team, supporting the development of our Reliant platform – a next-generation long-range eVTOL unmanned aerial system designed for demanding ISR and logistics missions.
Reliant combines exceptional endurance, modularity, and operational flexibility to deliver mission-critical capabilities in the most challenging environments.
In this role, you will be responsible for the integration, development, and validation of thermal management and cooling systems for the aircraft.
You will develop efficient cooling concepts for hybrid propulsion components, power electronics, avionics, and other heat-generating systems by optimizing airflow, aerodynamic cooling, and thermal integration.
Working closely with mechanical, propulsion, and systems engineering teams, you will ensure reliable operation across demanding flight and environmental conditions.
What is your Day to Day Mission:Lead the integration and development of thermal management and cooling systems for UAVs.
Design and optimize cooling concepts for combustion engines, generators, power electronics, avionics, and other onboard systems.
Define thermal system architectures balancing cooling performance, weight, packaging, reliability, and manufacturability.
Design, build, and commission prototype cooling test rigs and instrumentation for system validation.
Plan and execute thermal, environmental, endurance, and performance test campaigns.
Analyze thermal performance, airflow distribution, and system efficiency, implementing improvements based on test results.
