  Thermal analyst on various product lines, with the following responsibilities:Developed Finite Element Models (FEM) using ANSYS and Patran to predict component junction temperatures. Analysis results used to drive design, assess risk, and minimize cost. Analyzed liquid cold plate designs and convection dominated systems using ANSYS Icepak CFD.Correlated numerical models to experimental test data to reduce uncertainty. Testing includes the use of dataloggers, thermocouples, and IR imaging. Conducted parametric studies to provide insight into sensitivity to key variables.Analysis of externally mounted components using heat transfer correlation codes such as MINIVER and LANMIN. Verified component requirements through quartz lamp, arc jet, and wind tunnel testing. Assessed aerothermal ablation levels using CMA and HERO.Managed suppliers to ensure successful deliverables by providing thermal guidance and technical oversight.Technical lead on small, 2-5 member teams as product progressed through design reviews leading up to qualification.
