Professional, Engineering – Thermodynamics (Montreal)

We are seeking a highly skilled and analytical Thermodynamics Engineer to join our aerospace engineering team in Montreal. In this role, you will contribute to the design, analysis, and optimization of aircraft systems by applying advanced thermodynamic principles. You will work closely with propulsion, systems, structures, and performance engineering teams to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant aircraft operation.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform thermodynamic analyses to support the design and development of aircraft systems (environmental control systems, propulsion interfaces, heat exchangers, cooling systems, etc.)
• Develop and validate thermal models, energy balance calculations, and system performance predictions
• Analyze heat transfer, fluid flow, and system interactions under various operating conditions
• Support system integration activities by evaluating thermal impacts and ensuring compliance with engineering requirements
• Review engineering drawings, specifications, and technical documentation related to thermal performance
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to resolve technical issues and optimize system performance
• Participate in design reviews, safety assessments, and certification activities
• Prepare technical reports, documentation, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives related to thermal modeling, simulation tools, and engineering processes

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field with a focus on thermodynamics
• Experience in thermodynamic analysis, heat transfer, or fluid dynamics (aerospace experience is an asset)
• Strong understanding of thermal systems, energy cycles, and heat transfer mechanisms
• Proficiency with modeling and simulation tools (MATLAB/Simulink, Python, ANSYS, or equivalent)
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, system schematics, and technical documentation
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary engineering environment
• Fluent in both French and English (spoken and written)

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with aircraft environmental control systems (ECS), thermal management, or propulsion integration
• Familiarity with aerospace certification standards and safety assessment processes
• Experience with CFD or advanced thermal simulation tools
• Background in an aerospace OEM or engineering consultancy
