Senior Micro-Jet Engine Design Engineer

Technology Innovation Institute; Abu Dhabi; On-site; AED 450,000 - 850,000; Full time

Job summary

Technology Innovation Institute (TII) in Abu Dhabi seeks a Senior Micro-Jet Mechanical Engineer to lead design, analysis, manufacturing and testing of advanced micro-jet engine hardware. You will own mechanical work packages through the lifecycle, coordinating with aerodynamics, combustion, controls, materials, manufacturing and testing teams.

The role requires strong CAD/FEA skills, deep knowledge of gas-turbine architecture, rotor dynamics and GD&T, and prior engine/build experience.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• 7–12 years of relevant engineering experience with hardware ownership from design through testing.
• Proficient with 3D CAD and FEA tools (NX/CATIA/Creo/SolidWorks; Ansys/Nastran/Abaqus).

Responsibilities

• Lead the mechanical design and technical development of micro-jet engine components and assemblies.
• Develop and integrate 3D CAD models for compressor and turbine hardware, rotors and stators, shafts, bearings, housings, casings, seals, flanges, nozzles and related structures.
• Perform structural, thermal and rotating-machinery analyses, including static/rotating loads, fatigue, vibration, buckling, thermal loads and thermo-mechanical behaviour.
• Conduct FEA and assess stresses, thermal growth, clearances, critical speeds and high-temperature material behaviour.
• Produce and review engineering drawings, GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, fits, materials, coatings, heat treatments and inspection requirements.
• Support manufacturing, assembly, balancing, commissioning and testing activities.
• Investigate mechanical/structural issues identified during build and testing (vibration, leakage, clearances, bearing/joint anomalies).
• Correlate analytical/FEA results with test data and support design improvements.
• Coordinate with suppliers on specs, drawings reviews, deviations, non-conformances and acceptance requirements.
• Prepare and present technical evidence during design/ readiness reviews (PDR/CDR/TRR).
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers.
