Description

Cryogenic Thermal Engineering Analyst Mechanical Engineer IV NASA Glenn Research Center Brook Park, Ohio HX5 is an award-winning provider of engineering, research and development, and technical services to clients such as NASA and the Department of Defense. Founded in 2004, HX5 is a fast-growing veteran- and woman-owned company with locations nationwide. HX5 is currently seeking a Cryogenic Thermal Analyst / Mechanical Engineer to join our team in Brook Park, Ohio in support of the GEARS contract at NASA Glenn Research Center. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: The selected candidate will bring their Cryogenic Fluid Management (CFM) expertise to NASA programs such as the Human Lander System (HLS) and Fission Surface Power (FSP) projects, which will include the following support: HLS Insight Risk Reduction Activities, including work with Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel (COPV) operating pressure increases, thermal / fluid analyses in Gasifier Feed Tanks, and thermal / fluid analyses for Turbo-Gasifier development. Work with the NASA Technical Monitor and the HLS team which includes thermal, structures, and systems engineering team members. Analysis and updates will need performed on the conceptual design for tank internal systems. Assist with the tracking of cryogenic fluid and gas propellant inventories within the propellant tanks. The selected candidate will also provide thermal analysis support to the Fission Surface Power (FSP) Technology Development project under the Technology Demonstration Mission (TDM) program. NASA is working with the Department of Energy (DOE) and industry to design a fission power system that would provide a future lunar demonstration will pave the way for sustainable operations and even base camps on the Moon and Mars. Thermal energy produced during nuclear fission must be carefully managed to ensure the safety of both the astronauts and the equipment itself. The scope of work may include: Develop and maintain a Thermal Desktop model of the FSP Government Reference Design system and a heat pipe thermal transport that would be compatible with a capable lander. Development of thermal models for various regions of the lunar surface. Guide thermal system-oriented risk assessments, including risks of lunar dust to thermal systems. Required Skills: Ability to design and develop thermal models of space flight hardware within the specified modeling software. Experience with cryogenic fluid flight system design and technologies. Fluid analysis and heat transfer analysis in cryogenic applications. Knowledge of engineering principles as applied to aerospace components and products. Experience with ASME Pressure Vessel Code for pressure vessels and piping systems. Ability to guide and develop thermal models of NASA project hardware within Thermal Desktop. Capable of analyzing and presenting data gathered from thermal models and making project decisions. Knowledge of spacecraft thermal control techniques including active and passive thermal management. Team leadership capabilities with the ability to work independently as well. Education/Experience: Master's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with 6 to 15 years of experience Bachelor's degree with 10 to 20 years of experience. Other Position Requirements: Proof of U.S. Citizenship or US Permanent Residency is a requirement for this position. Must be able to complete a U.S. government background investigation.
