Aerospace Thermal Modelling Engineer - Transient Analysis

Morson Human Resources Limited; England; On-site; GBP 79,000 - 108,000; Full time

Job summary

Morson Human Resources Limited is seeking a Thermal Modelling Engineer to support the design and development of advanced aerospace structures operating in extreme thermal environments.

You will develop numerical thermal models of airframe structures subjected to aerodynamic heating during high-speed flight and re-entry, using simulation to predict internal component temperatures and inform structural design decisions.

Qualifications

• Degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or similar.
• Experience in thermal analysis of aerospace or high-temperature structures.
• Understanding of heat transfer, thermodynamics, materials science and elevated temperature behaviour.

Responsibilities

• Develop transient thermal models of aerospace structures subjected to high-temperature flight environments, including atmospheric re-entry and hypersonic flight profiles.
• Predict temperature distributions through airframe skins, structural members and internal equipment bays.
• Finite Element thermal modelling.
• Transient thermal analysis.
• Thermal stress prediction.
• Heat transfer calculations.
• Thermal protection system assessments.
• Material property evaluation.
• Test instrumentation using thermocouples and data acquisition systems.
• Correlation of simulation with experimental data.
