Technical Specialist Aerothermal

Exciting opportunities for Aero Engineers have arisen within a number of our Programmes and Capability development all areas these roles involve working with a range of key business stakeholders to support the delivery of key programme milestones thus enabling the delivery of our Defence strategy for the next 50 years. This is how we create brilliance which we should sell by letting the facts speak for themselves.

The Engineering Technology & Safety Aerothermal teams are responsible for the aerothermal design and validation of modules in the gas turbine main flow-path including Intake Fan Compressor Combustor Turbine After-Burner and Exhaust systems. Working alongside the mechanical design teams these aero teams specify the gas-washed surfaces and commit to sub-system performance levels.

What you will be doing

With this attractive opportunity you will get a chance to:

• Design analyze and simulate compression systems (fan compressor inlet) components and sub-systems using a variety of methodologies including meanline throughflow and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
• Work with performance organization and system level design to define understand and interpret sub-system requirements and issue sub-system performance maps and bids.
• Interface with or develop experience in aeromechanics and mechanical design to understand impact on aerodynamic design
• Plan execute and oversee component and sub-system rig tests for product development and/or technology development.
• Assemble interpret and report a combination of CFD simulations experimental results and first principle analyses into a cohesive understanding of component and sub-system capabilities as measured against requirements.
• Support the wider cold end aerodynamics discipline both locally and globally with capability acquisition via methods and coding technology plans and collaborating in the community of practice.
• Practice continuous improvement principles by using and updating best practices process automation and eliminating wasteful process steps
