Job Description

Northrop Grumman is seeking a Thermal Analysis Engineer to support mission systems through electronics thermal management and thermal analysis or design across airborne, ground, and naval applications. This role is based out of the Baltimore area, with daily onsite work in Linthicum, MD, and requires a US Government Secret clearance to start.

Location, Schedule, and Travel

Location: Baltimore, MD (onsite)
Work schedule: 9/80 Work Schedule (where available)
Travel: Yes, 10% of the time

Salary Range

USD 87,600 - 131,400 per yearly (primary level salary range).

Responsibilities

Design advanced electronics thermal management solutions using heat transfer principles to optimize thermal performance.
Conduct electronics thermal analysis with experience in heat transfer, including liquid cooled, air-cooled, two-phase flow, and refrigeration thermal solutions for mission systems platforms such as airborne, ground based, and naval applications.
Own thermal requirements, thermal architecture, and thermal performance to lead thermal designs, and mentor less experienced thermal engineers.
Deliver oral and written presentations to internal and external customers and stakeholders.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree with 2 years of experience, or Master’s degree with 0 years of experience; 4 additional years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
U.S. citizenship required.
Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Secret security clearance.
Ability to work onsite daily at the Linthicum, MD (Baltimore area) facility.
A current or active clearance is not required to be considered, but a final clearance is required to start.
2 years of electronics design experience with emphasis on thermal analysis and optimization of mission-critical electronics systems (for example: airborne, ground, or maritime platforms).
2 years applying thermal engineering principles to challenging air cooled, liquid cooled, and conduction cooled hardware in high power density environments.
