Destinusgroup; Madrid; Presencial; EUR 65.000 - 90.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Destinus invites a skilled aerospace engineer to join our propulsion analytics team in Madrid. You will perform structural, thermal, and thermo-mechanical analyses of turbojet engine components and work closely with design, manufacturing, and test engineers to optimize performance and reliability.

You bring 3–8 years of experience in gas turbine analysis, hands-on FEA with ANSYS/Abaqus/Nastran, and strong knowledge of high-temperature materials.

Formación

• Bachelor's or Master's in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering.
• 3–8 years of structural/mechanical analysis experience for gas turbine or turbojet engines.
• Strong understanding of rotating machinery under high centrifugal and thermal loads.
• Hands-on experience with FEA software (ANSYS, Abaqus, Nastran).
• Solid knowledge of stress calculations, structural sizing, fatigue analysis, and durability assessment.
• Experience evaluating thermal deformation, hot to cold geometry changes, and tip clearance optimization.
• Understanding of high temperature aerospace materials, creep, thermo mechanical fatigue, and material behaviour.
• Experience analyzing bearings, shafts, sealing systems, interference fits, and mechanical joints.
• Familiarity with aerospace manufacturing processes including machining, casting, additive manufacturing, and heat treatment.
• Strong communication skills with professional English proficiency; MATLAB or Python is an advantage.

Responsabilidades

• Perform structural, thermal, and thermo mechanical analyses of turbojet engine components using analytical methods and Finite Element Analysis.
• Assess centrifugal, thermal, vibratory, and combined loading on rotating and stationary engine hardware.
• Evaluate the mechanical integrity and durability of compressor and turbine wheels, shafts, blisks, casings, bearing supports, combustor structures, and exhaust components.
• Predict thermal growth and hot to cold geometry changes to optimize running clearances and engine performance.
• Perform fatigue, creep, thermo mechanical fatigue, and durability assessments for high temperature engine components.
• Analyze bearings, shafts, interference fits, couplings, mechanical joints, and sealing systems under operational loading.
• Develop detailed FEA models and analytical calculations to support design decisions and component sizing.
• Define critical engine load cases and correlate analysis with rig, endurance, and flight testing results.
• Collaborate closely with design, manufacturing, aerodynamics, combustion, and test engineers to improve component performance and manufacturability.
• Prepare technical documentation and contribute to engine qualification and certification activities.
