Thermal Management System (TMS) Technical Lead | Ground Support Equipment en Beta

The Ground Support Equipment (GSE) / Charge Team is seeking a Technical Lead for the Thermal Management Systems (TMS) to drive system-level process design, configuration management, and cross-functional coordination across engineering, manufacturing, and field operations. This role requires a systems thinker with strong organizational, leadership, and communication skills- someone who can manage complex product data structures, supplier engagement, and the lifecycle of thermal and mechanical systems across multiple aircraft programs.



How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

Own and maintain the system requirements, ensuring accuracy throughout the product lifecycle and enforcing verification/validation activity

Lead process design activities, defining thermal, pressure, and flow characteristics to support aircraft-level system performance

Transition the Thermal Management System from prototype-to-production by developing quality standards, build documentation, acceptance test procedures and software version control

Keep CAD models, 3DX (PLM) data, and Plex (ERP) records up to date and representative of current manufacturing & assembly configuration

Support fleet management activity by diagnosing and resolving system issues, analyzing and archiving field test data, and controlling configurations of deployed systems

Oversee supplier management with key partners, ensuring adherence to quality and delivery requirements

Support proposals, Time & Materials (T&M) contracts, and Purchase Orders (POs)

Lead or support Special Projects, including mobile and truck-based glycol cooling systems; often requiring hands-on fast-paced design and build cycles.

Participate in and contribute to weekly/bi-weekly project meetings, field technical questions

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Systems, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent technical experience

Proven experience in project management, system integration, supplier management, configuration management, and data-driven process improvement

Knowledge of/Experience with: HVAC systems and electronic equipment cooling/heating (liquid and forced-air), Thermal-fluid processes, including pressure, flow, temperature, and PID control, Industrial automation and control systems. PLC programming with ladder logic a plus, Electro-mechanical systems (motors, actuators, linear/rotary measurement), Instrumentation and component selection for electrical, mechanical, and thermo-fluid systems

Willingness to visit suppliers/customers, support field service, and assist with commissioning

Proficiency with CAD, PLM & ERP integration systems

Excellent cross-functional communication skills

Ability to lead design reviews and present to cross-functional teams and leadership

Ability to balance multiple priorities and lead projects with limited supervision

Above and Beyond Qualifications:

Familiarity with PLM systems & Engineering Change Management Processes, GD&T, and ASME Y14.5 drafting standards, Tolerance Stack Analysis

SolidWorks CAD experience

Understanding of Root Cause/Corrective Action (RCCA) Analysis

Hands-on experience & willingness to support commissioning, testing, and field operations

Working knowledge of supplier qualification, FAT/EOL processes, and CapEx project management

Experience collaborating with data visualization tools (Grafana) and integrating real-time process data into continuous improvement workflows

Able to use Engineering analysis to drive design decisions

Background in electro-mechanical assemblies and/or EV charging systems.

Familiarity with UL listed products.

Knowledge of diverse fabrication methods and typical tolerance expectations, including: Additive manufacturing (3D printing), Subtractive machining, Welding, Injection molding, Sheet metal fabrication, Composites

This role blends technical leadership, project & design management, and hands-on engagement across office, shop, and field environments. You will:

Alternate between design/data review tasks and on-site support for testing, commissioning, and supplier interactions.

Spend time in manufacturing or assembly environments, assisting with equipment validation and troubleshooting.

Travel occasionally to suppliers, field sites, and prototype locations.

Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and data teams to ensure smooth communication and alignment across all phases of product development.

This dynamic role offers the opportunity to lead across the intersection of engineering, data, and manufacturing—shaping the future of sustainable aviation infrastructure
