Exciting Opportunity: Principal Engineer – Join Our System Analysis Team in Windsor Locks, CT!
We are seeking a Principal Engineer to be part of our System Analysis group in Windsor Locks, CT. In this key role, you will perform and lead systems engineering analysis, focusing on architecting, sizing, and developing advanced models to analyze both steady state and transient performance of 0D/1D thermal fluid systems.
As a Principal Engineer, you will have the opportunity to collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams, customers, and management to define, review, and refine critical system performance requirements that drive the system design and development process. You’ll be responsible for breaking down and negotiating requirements across system components, including the system controller, ensuring the system’s steady-state and dynamic transient performance are well-understood and aligned with the needs of all stakeholders.
If you’re passionate about making a significant program/business impact through advanced engineering solutions and enjoy working with a talented team, we want to hear from you!

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Perform analysis to independently architect, size, and design thermal fluid systems and the associated process controls for heating, cooling, and ventilation of aircraft thermal environments.
• Formulates conceptual design of thermal fluid products or systems developing lower-level requirements to meet customer requirements and business objectives, with emphasis on reliability.
• Develops advanced mathematical models or other methods of computer analysis to develop, evaluate, or modify design, according to customer engineering requirements.
• Performs system level analyses of thermal fluid systems and prepare technical reports of findings and recommendations.
• Creates and implements common procedures and standard work across the organization.
• Collaborate with customers to establish specifications, performs analysis, and plan performance testing in system laboratories as well as aircraft flight test.
• Analyze test results for consistency with performance predictions and compliance to system requirements
