Thermal Engineer - Vulcan Rocket Major Development & Upgrades
November 2022 - January 2024 | United Launch Alliance (ULA), Denver, CO
I conducted heat transfer and thermodynamic analysis for the Vulcan Centaur Rocket Upgrades Program, leveraging principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics to evaluate various rocket components. This work involved close collaboration with multiple engineering teams to gather critical data—such as environmental conditions, model logic, thermophysical properties, and trajectories—for creating simulated vehicle mission thermal analyses.
I also contributed to the thermal development of the reuse program, participating in early concept design discussions focused on reusing booster engines. This included performing design trades for thermal protection systems to ensure vehicle survival in new operational environments. Additionally, I provided on-console thermal support during tests and launches, monitoring live data, analyzing results, and communicating findings to key stakeholders.
