Core Skill Set to Look For

ECS Subsystem Integration: Hands-on experience with aircraft or spacecraft bleed air, cabin pressurization, oxygen generation, or severe-environment ducting and layout.

Thermal System Design & Analysis: Experience sizing heat exchangers, vapor cycle systems, cooling loops, or air cycle machines using software like Thermal Desktop, ANSYS Fluent, Flow master, or MATLAB/Simulink.

Component Selection & Validation: Proven track record calculating fluid flow, pressure drop, and thermal loads to select or design valves, regulators, fans, or compressors.

Industry Standards & Testing: Direct familiarity with aerospace/defense testing compliance, specifically DO-160, MIL-STD-810, or ARP862 for environmental control equipment.

Cross-Functional & Control Logic: A strong understanding of structural interfaces, sensor integration, and basic control theory (e.g., feedback loops) to regulate temperatures and pressures.

Technical Presentation & Leadership: Experience acting as a secondary project owner, leading small groups of drafters/designers, and presenting design reviews (PDR/CDR) to internal teams or customers.

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:

Bachelor's degree (B.S.M.E) from four-year College or University.

Two to five years of experience with design, analysis and development of industrial equipment.

Aerospace domain experience is a must.

Knowledge of applied thermodynamics and mechanical design.

Knowledge of drawing and drafting standards a plus.
