Overview
This role will directly influence the next generation of micro gas turbines, shaping technologies that will power future high-performance propulsion systems. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will play a central part in developing an advanced micro-turbojet engine, with particular focus on the combustor, working within a compact team of specialists in turbomachinery design, aerothermal engineering and structural analysis.
Responsibilities
- Take responsibility for precise mechanical design work, the creation of detailed engineering drawings and hands-on involvement in subsystem and full-engine development testing.
- Progress sheet-metal combustor components from laser-cut profiles through forming and fabrication, while collaborating with a dedicated combustor advisor to refine design output.
- Conduct stress analysis and, ideally, transient thermal and CFD flow analysis using ANSYS tools.
- Beyond the combustor, support the design of static engine components, interface with manufacturing suppliers and ensure a seamless transition from design to production.
Qualifications and Skills
- Strong foundation in mechanical design, CAD proficiency and GD&T application; accredited BEng or MEng in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
- Several years of experience in precision component design and development testing, as well as familiarity with the design and manufacture of high-temperature sheet-metal components.
- Confidence with ANSYS for FEA and CFD, and an understanding of material performance at elevated temperatures (highly advantageous).
- Experience in whole-engine performance testing.
- Experience performing thermal transient and CFD flow analysis of the combustor.
