TL;DR
Spacecraft Thermal Architect (Aerospace): Owning the thermal architecture and control strategy for spacecraft and payloads across the mission lifecycle with an accent on thermal modelling, system-level trade-offs, and verification. Focus on defining thermal hardware architectures, correlating mathematical models, and defending design decisions through qualification and acceptance testing.

Location: London, United Kingdom

Company

hirify.global develops in-orbit servicing and space debris removal solutions to support sustainable space operations.

What you will do

  • Own the spacecraft thermal architecture throughout the mission lifecycle and define thermal control strategies for spacecraft and payloads.
  • Lead thermal design trade-offs covering passive and active thermal control solutions.
  • Define thermal requirements, subsystem allocations, budgets, margins, and verification strategies.
  • Lead thermal modelling, analysis, and model correlation across all mission phases.
  • Define thermal hardware architectures including MLI, coatings, heaters, radiators, heat pipes, thermal straps, and temperature sensors.
  • Coordinate with mechanical, propulsion, avionics, and systems engineers, while supporting design reviews, testing, customers, suppliers, and partners.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of spacecraft thermal engineering experience.
  • Experience as a lead thermal engineer, principal thermal engineer, or thermal architect on spacecraft developments.
  • Strong knowledge of spacecraft thermal control systems, thermal analysis methodologies, mathematical models, and correlation activities.
  • Proficiency with thermal analysis software and CAD tools, especially ESATAN-TMS.
  • Experience defining thermal requirements, budgets, system-level trades, and supporting thermal vacuum testing and environmental verification campaigns.
  • Familiarity with ECSS thermal engineering standards and the ability to lead technical discussions and defend architectural decisions.

Nice to have

  • MSc or PhD in aerospace engineering, thermal engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, or a similar discipline.
  • Experience across LEO, MEO, and GEO missions.
  • Familiarity with launch vehicle thermal environments.
  • Leadership and mentoring experience.
  • Experience working directly with ESA or other institutional customers.

Culture & Benefits

  • Work on reusable, affordable, and sustainable space technologies.
  • Collaborate with engineering teams across the UK and Europe.
  • Contribute to the development of thermal engineering standards and best practices.
