What if you could take ownership of the thermal performance of a spacecraft from the first design decisions all the way through testing, launch and operations?
EVONA is working with a fast-growing space company that's building its US engineering team in Los Angeles, California, and we're looking for an experienced Spacecraft Thermal Engineer to join them.
You'll be joining a fast-paced, hands-on smallsat engineering and manufacturing environment, developing advanced satellites for commercial, government and scientific missions.
This is an opportunity to get close to the hardware, solve real spacecraft engineering problems and see your work ultimately fly.
The opportunity
As a Spacecraft Thermal Engineer, you'll be responsible for thermal engineering activities across the full spacecraft lifecycle.
From initial spacecraft design and thermal architecture through manufacturing, environmental testing, launch and flight operations, you'll have the opportunity to follow your engineering work from concept to orbit.
You'll work as part of a multidisciplinary Systems Engineering team, collaborating closely with mechanical, electrical, systems and AIT engineers to make sure the spacecraft performs across the environments it will encounter.
You'll work on both satellite platforms and customer-specific spacecraft, meaning the engineering challenges won't always be the same.
This isn't a role where you'll simply run an existing thermal model and produce a report.
You'll help define the thermal architecture.
You'll build and develop the models.
You'll make predictions.
You'll validate them through testing.
And when something doesn't behave as expected, you'll help figure out why.
What you'll be doing
You'll take responsibility for defining spacecraft thermal architectures, including radiators, thermal blankets, heaters and other thermal-control solutions.
You'll build and maintain spacecraft thermal models and use them to predict performance across hot and cold flight cases.
You'll support TVAC campaigns by predicting thermal behaviour, defining test success criteria and calculating thermal power consumption.
Once the hardware goes into testing, you'll correlate your models against real test results and refine them accordingly.
And when thermal issues arise, you'll investigate them, understand the root cause and work with the wider engineering team to drive them through to closure.
Your involvement won't necessarily stop at launch either.
You'll have the opportunity to support spacecraft through flight operations and see how the systems you've designed and analysed perform in the real environment of space.
Who we're looking for
We're looking for someone with a strong technical background in spacecraft thermal engineering who enjoys being close to both the analysis and the hardware.
You'll ideally bring:
An MSc in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering or a related discipline
Experience developing and working with thermal models
Understanding of spacecraft hot-case and cold-case analysis
Experience supporting thermal vacuum testing and model correlation
A strong understanding of mechanical engineering principles
The ability to investigate and solve complex thermal problems
Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to engineering
You'll also be someone who takes ownership and understands that good engineering isn't finished until the solution is delivered and proven.
This role is primarily on-site in Los Angeles, California
What would really make you stand out?
If you've spent 5+ years working on space programmes, I'd particularly like to hear from you.
Experience with nanosatellites or small satellites would be highly valuable.
Perhaps you've already taken spacecraft through thermal analysis, TVAC qualification and into flight.
Maybe you've worked in an environment where thermal engineers don't operate in isolation, but work directly alongside mechanical, systems, electronics and AIT teams to make rapid engineering decisions.
And if you're comfortable sharing your knowledge and helping develop more junior engineers around you, even better.
Why Apply?
Because you'll have the opportunity to work on real spacecraft and see the impact of your engineering decisions.
You'll be joining a fast-paced and delivery-focused environment where engineers are encouraged to take ownership, solve problems and continuously improve.
There are difficult engineering challenges to solve and plenty of hands-on R&D as the company continues developing its next generation of small satellite technology.
You'll also collaborate with experienced international engineering teams across Europe, with opportunities for occasional international travel.
The package includes:
Salary of $120,000–$180,000 per year
Health insurance
Matching 401(k)
Continued technical learning and development
International collaboration and occasional travel
Most importantly, this is an opportunity to own your work from analysis to hardware.
If you're a spacecraft thermal engineer who wants to do more than sit behind a model — and you want to see your engineering decisions tested, qualified, launched and ultimately operating in space — we'd love to hear from you.
What if your next systems engineering role wasn't about maintaining a programme that's already been built?
What if you could help shape the satellites themselves?
EVONA is working with a fast-growing space company that's expanding its presence in the US and looking for an experienced Systems Engineer to join its team in Denver, Colorado.
This is an opportunity for someone who understands small satellites, enjoys solving difficult engineering problems and wants to work somewhere where decisions turn into hardware and missions quickly.
You'll be joining a fast-paced, hands-on smallsat engineering and manufacturing environment, developing advanced software-flexible satellites for commercial, government and scientific missions.
The opportunity
As a Systems Engineer, you'll sit at the centre of the spacecraft development process.
You'll work directly with customers to understand what they're trying to achieve, translate those mission objectives into clear technical requirements, and then work alongside hardware and software engineering teams to turn those requirements into a satellite solution that works.
You'll be involved from the early conversations and system definition right through the development lifecycle towards deployment.
This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit requirements and manage documentation.
You'll help define them.
You'll challenge them.
And you'll work with the engineering teams to make sure the spacecraft ultimately delivers what the mission requires.
What you'll be doing
You'll define and manage spacecraft system and subsystem requirements, translating high-level customer and mission needs into clear engineering requirements.
You'll work across satellite subsystems including communications, power, propulsion and other spacecraft systems, ensuring everything comes together at system level.
You'll collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers to refine technical solutions and resolve system-level challenges.
You'll also communicate directly with customers, evaluating technical requirements and helping develop and negotiate satellite and subsystem solutions.
Throughout the programme, you'll help drive projects from initial concept through development and ultimately deployment.
Who we're looking for

You'll ideally bring:
5+ years' experience designing and developing nanosatellites and/or small satellites
A BSc or MSc in Aerospace Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science or a related discipline
Strong understanding of satellite systems and subsystems, including communications, power and propulsion
Experience turning high-level technical needs into well-defined system and subsystem requirements
Experience working directly with customers and multidisciplinary engineering teams
Strong written, verbal and visual technical communication skills
The ability to communicate complex systems through schematics, sequences and state diagrams
You'll need to be based in the Denver area or willing to relocate to Colorado.
Due to the nature of the work, you'll also need to be a US citizen or US permanent resident.
What would really make you stand out?
Perhaps you've worked with mission budgets covering power, link or delta-V.
Maybe you've used STK or GMAT for orbit and mission analysis.
You might have experience with SolidWorks, DFMEA, UML/SysML or have a working knowledge of C/C++ or Python.
Experience with project and risk management or tools such as Jira and Confluence would also be valuable.
You don't necessarily need every one of these.
What matters most is that you understand spacecraft, can think at system level and enjoy solving complex engineering problems.
Why Apply?
You'll get the opportunity to work on real spacecraft and genuinely influence how they're designed.
This is a fast-paced, delivery-focused engineering environment tackling difficult technical problems and developing next-generation satellite technology.
You'll collaborate with highly experienced international engineering teams and have opportunities for occasional international travel.
The package includes:
Salary of $145,000–$195,000
Health insurance
Matching 401(k)
Generous team performance-based bonus
Continued technical learning and development
International collaboration and occasional travel
Most importantly, you'll be joining at an exciting stage of growth.
