Do you have a passion for innovation focused on product application coupled with technical depth in dynamical systems, control and heat transfer analysis? If so, the Thermo-Mechanical Systems Discipline of Collins Aerospace Applied Research and Technology needs your skills. Our Senior Research Scientist position demands strong engineering fundamentals, expertise in analytical and numerical physics-based modelling of thermal and mechanical systems, capable of identifying appropriate modelling method for a given problem, and validating the method with experimental data.

The Senior Research scientist position may contribute to the following areas:

• reduced order (Dymola and Matlab/Simulink) and high-fidelity (CFD, FEA) multi-scale thermal-fluid and thermal-mechanical modeling in a range of aircraft applications including heat exchangers, thermal management, ice protection, and power electronics.
• development of innovative thermodynamic system and components
• thermo-mechanical control systems design, analysis and simulation in Matlab/Simulink and/or Dymola.
• experimental validation and demonstration of thermal components and systems
• development of techniques for multi-physics topology optimization, and execution of topology optimization studies
• modeling and analysis of new and novel thermodynamic systems for power management, waste heat recovery, and cooling
