About Scott Thawley

Utilizing my knowledge in mechanical engineering fundamentals (eg. thermal, fluid, and structural), I have guided small engineering teams and administrative staff to ensure success in, meeting design requirements, key performance metrics, as well as relevant standards & codes. My experience focuses on components integrated into large, complex systems such as Indycar, Space Launch System, F22/35s, and Directed Energy Weapons. Throughout my diverse range of positions, I have made contributions that span various phases of product development including basic research, proof of concept, thermal analysis, structural analysis, mechanical design, product development, and test.Primarily immersed in small business environments, I autonomously managed various aspects of engineering work including customer interface, project management, system & component design, analysis, simulation, testing, and reporting. Additionally, I lead delivery of firm fixed price contracts which successfully translated to cross-departmental collaboration for my roles at larger companies.

Scott Thawley Work Experience Details
  • Rocky Research | Honeywell
    Sr. Adv Mechanical Engineer
    Rocky Research | Honeywell Jan 2019 - Present
    Boulder City, Nv 89005
    In my role as a Sr Engineer I lead the technical development of bespoke phase change material thermal storage systems while also providing thermal/structural analysis to bespoke vapor compression systems and diesel power generators. As the company grew after being purchased by Honeywell I have mentored 5 younger engineers in cooling system design and test processes.
  • Tyvak Nano-Satellites | Terran Orbital
    Thermal & Structural Analyst
    Tyvak Nano-Satellites | Terran Orbital Apr 2017 - Nov 2018
    Irvine, Ca 92618
    As first thermal & structural analyst developed process to meet NASA standards for nano-satellites, developed design tools for the mechanical design engineers, and worked closely with electrical engineers to build novel thermal solutions for high powered radar, communications antennas, and camera/telescope in near earth, geosync, and lunar orbits.
  • Kelly Space & Technology, Inc.
    Lead Engineer
    Kelly Space & Technology, Inc. Mar 2016 - Apr 2017
    San Bernardino, California, United States
    I worked with 2 other lead engineers in a small business environment to develop test fixtures and testing campaigns to test space launch vehicle hardware and defense aerospace electronic equipment (eg. actuators and radios). Our company specialty was performing tests outside of the capability of the large national testing companies.
  • Honda Performance Development, Inc.
    Computer Aided Engineer
    Honda Performance Development, Inc. Mar 2015 - Feb 2016
    Santa Clarita, California, United States
    As a CAE engineer I simulated the air flow, fuel spray, and combustion characteristic of the existing engine for the Honda Indy car supplier. After validation testing, I designed a new spray pattern to improve the mixing and fuel economy. Additionally, I developed a parametric Catia model to dynamically enforce 'good' flow characteristics for a matrix of intake shapes and sizes while also fitting around existing valve and cooling hardware.
  • Transonic Combustion
    Computational Fluid Dynamics Engineer
    Transonic Combustion Oct 2013 - Jan 2015
    Cammarillo, Ca 93010
    At Transonic, I provided CFD and thermodynamic analysis to a small team of automotive combustion system experts. Together we developed combustion strategies for 4 major automotive OEMs and a few race teams that leveraged the advantages of the company's novel heated gasoline fuel injector. In this role I wrote a distillate fuel thermo-physical property model for use in adjacent multi-phase, spray mixing, and simplified combustion models in ANSYS Fluent and Converge CFD.
  • Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc.  | Fluidra
    Combustion Engineer
    Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc. | Fluidra Apr 2012 - Oct 2013
    Vista, Ca
    Introduced advanced design calculations using Python and Excel and simulation using Star CCM+ for buoyancy driven combustion and fire tube compact heat exchangers
  • Advanced Projects Research, Inc. (Apri)
    Research Engineer
    Advanced Projects Research, Inc. (Apri) Jan 2010 - Apr 2012
    La Verne, California, United States
    In a small business, government contractor business, I lead thermal and combustion design, prototype construction, and testing of a inter-turbine burner designed to reheat gas turbine air on the stator in between the high- and low- pressure turbines for aircraft engines.
  • Energy Research Consultants
    Research Engineer
    Energy Research Consultants Jun 2006 - Jan 2010
    Laguna Hills, Ca 92653
    As a research engineer in a small business I solicited and lead test and measurement campaigns developing novel test fixtures, and new instrument systems to measure performance of fuel sprays and combustion systems for defense and industrial customers.
