Aerodynamics Engineer

Role overview

Key responsibilities

• Carry out gas-turbine turbomachinery aerodynamic design and analysis.
• Perform design and off-design analysis, post-process engine test data, and liaise with internal and external stakeholders.
• Provide technical leadership in engine architectural studies.
• Develop numerical and experimental methods for method verification and validation.
• Define individual and team performance metrics, monitor performance, and provide constructive feedback.
• Review designs and simulations, generate testing guidelines, identify project risks, and plan mitigation.

Qualifications and experience

• Degree in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related field.
• Strong background in gas-turbine propulsion, turbomachinery design, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
• Hands-on axial and centrifugal compressor and turbine design and optimization experience for gas-turbine applications.
• Five to fifteen or more years of experience; fluent in English.
• Unsteady modelling, bleed flows, compressor stability, casing treatment, and sub-idle modelling experience is a plus.

Technical skills

• Commercial turbomachinery tools such as Concepts NREC, AxStream, or similar.
• CFD or through-flow simulation methods, including tools such as Ansys CFX, Numeca/Cadence, or Fluent.
• Multipoint and multidisciplinary optimization; programming with C, MATLAB/Simulink, or similar.
• Experience with coatings and cooling technologies.
