Thermal Engineer
Paragon has opportunities for a mechanical/aerospace engineer with emphasis in thermal design and analysis in either our Houston or Tucson office. Specifically, Paragon is looking for a mechanical/thermal engineer with 3-7 years experience in thermal design and analysis. Direct experience with thermal analysis software is required (Thermal Desktop is preferred). Prior experience in the aerospace industry a plus; thermal design/analysis of life support systems is highly desired.
Senior Systems Engineer
Paragon has opportunities for an exceptional Spacecraft Systems Engineer. The position requires strong systems engineering and integration (SE&I) and test and evaluation (T&E) support. Qualified candidates will have 10+ years of experience in systems engineering. Spacecraft systems engineering work will include, but is not limited to, leading a team and performing requirements analysis and generation (including customer-, system-, and subsystem-level allocations), context analysis, generation of concept of operations, system design, requirements traceability and interface definition. This work is focused on ensuring that Environmental Control and Life Support System (ECLSS) and Thermal Control System (TCS) design solutions are successfully developed and integrated into the vehicles and habitats under development for our current program(s). Previous spacecraft systems engineering experience on NASA programs, experience with spacecraft ECLSS and TCS is preferred, but not required.
ECLSS Engineer
Paragon has opportunities for an engineer with experience in the research, development, operation, and management of environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS). Qualified candidates will have 7-10 years experience on projects producing low-cost, highly reliable closed-loop life support systems for applications in human-rated spacecraft operating in the hostile and remote environment of space. ECLSS tasks will include, but are not limited to, operation of systems under test, conceptual design, detail design and fabrication, data analysis, reporting define needs and requirements, and proposal writing.
Paragon has career opportunities for people who are excited about working in the space industry and want to work on projects of significance. We are interested in people who enjoy a challenge and like working on a variety of projects in a fast paced environment. We are a small, agile company that offers lots of growth potential and are interested in people who enjoy learning and advancing their career. We accept all resumes and are specifically looking for degreed engineers ranging from bachelors to doctorate with experience ranging from 1-20+ years. Candidates with knowledge of thermal control systems (TCS) or environmental control and life support systems (ECLSS) are particularly valuable to our team. Candidates must be US Citizens.
Key words that we look for on resumes include: Mechanical Design, Thermal Desktop™ (or equivalent package such as SINDA-G or TAM), CFX, CFD, Nastran/patran, ECLSS, Pro-E, Solidworks, NASA, DOD, spaceflight hardware, spacecraft systems, Systems Engineering Requirements Traceability software a plus (DOORs, Cradle, CORE…)
Paragon engineers work on a variety of projects. Your ability to contribute in any of the following areas makes you valuable to our team:
- Designing the ECLSS and TCS for manned and unmanned spacecraft
- Developing requirements and preliminary design of key components for a next-generation space suit
- Specifying component performance requirements and developing the master equipment list for spacecraft ECLSS and TCS
- Laying out the ducting and plumbing for new spacecraft using commercial 3-D modeling software
- Developing schematics and solid models of the next generation of space cargo vehicles
- Developing standardized designs of environmental control and life support systems and thermal control systems for commercial spacecraft
- Performing thermal, structural, and fluid flow analysis of ECLSS and TCS for new spacecraft
- Developing and reviewing plans to manufacture, test, and verify the operation of new spacecraft life support and thermal control systems
