Aerospace and defense component manufacturer focused on thermal and environmental control systems
Bascom Hunter designs and manufactures thermal management and environmental control systems for aerospace and defense customers. The tech stack—SolidWorks, ANSYS CFX/Fluent, STAR-CCM+, MATLAB/Simulink, plus embedded languages (C, C++, VHDL, RTOS)—reflects a physics-heavy engineering operation centered on thermal modeling and system simulation. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (15 of 16 open roles, mostly mid to senior level), with concurrent projects spanning ISR technology production ramp, power electronics qualification, and phase III program scaling—indicating customer contracts in active execution and prototype-to-production transitions.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Engineer, Engineering Lead
Bascom Hunter is a 51–200-person manufacturer of specialized components and systems for aerospace and defense applications, headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The company focuses on environmental control systems (ECS) and thermal management solutions designed for extreme operating conditions. Their current portfolio includes work on intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) technology platforms transitioning to production, next-generation high-performance air-moving machinery, and power electronics system integration. The engineering organization is managing multiple concurrent programs at different maturity stages—from prototype qualification through phase III scaling—while navigating DoD compliance requirements and component supply-chain constraints.
Primary tools: SolidWorks and CATIA for CAD, ANSYS (CFX, Fluent) and STAR-CCM+ for thermal/fluid simulation, MATLAB/Simulink for control systems, plus C, C++, VHDL for embedded development and RTOS deployment.
Current initiatives: ISR technology production transition, phase III program scaling, high-performance air-moving machinery design, power electronics prototype fabrication and system integration, and internal R&D on next-generation system architectures.
