Aerothermal Engineer
Full Time
Bristol
An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Aerothermal Engineer to join the Fluid Mechanics Turbine Aerothermal Team part of our Global Mechanical Systems Capability based in Bristol.
The Aerothermal Team is responsible for the development of Aerothermal capability, delivering technology from TRL1 -7 in conjunction with our strategic partners. Work within the team ranges from the original inception of design work, through NPI design and into the EDP, supporting Production and Fleet issues.
The Turbine Aerothermal capability covers gas path aerodynamics, blade aerodynamics, whole turbine modelling, Preliminary Cooling Design, Full Cooling design and analysis of NGV, blade and Segment Cooling Systems. It relies on skills in Computational Fluid Dynamics and thermal modelling at various levels of fidelity and testing capability in a range of TRL rigs. Design and capability generation relies on a knowledge and understanding of the interaction of these components both locally and at an engine level.
We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits including bonus, employee support assistance, and employee discounts. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location.
What you will be doing:
1. Define requirements for turbine aerothermal, ensuring an accurate and complete flow-down and capture of higher-level requirements.
2. Define concepts for all turbine gas path aerothermal systems that meet requirements and evaluate using appropriate analytical methods.
3. Define and conduct capability acquisition, methods development and applications relating to people, process, methods, tools, knowledge management and technology.
4. Perform verification and validation activity to ensure that requirements have been correctly met.
Who we're looking for:
1. Bachelor of Science degree or above in Engineering, Physics or Maths providing an understanding of Thermodynamics, Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer and Computational Fluid Mechanics.
2. Technical knowledge of or interest in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and gas dynamics.
3. Experience in Aerothermal design and analysis, whether through academia or industry is desirable.
4. An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems.
5. Membership of a relevant professional body appropriate to region.
To work for the Rolls-Royce Defence Business there may be a requirement for an individual to hold a level of National Security Vetting (NSV). If the requirement is identified Rolls-Royce will support the application for NSV if the individual does not currently have this in place.
We are an equal opportunities employer, committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment.
