Descrição da oferta de emprego

On behalf of Rolls-Royce, a leading engineering company that develops cutting edge technologies to deliver clean, safe and competitive solutions, we are looking for multiple Aerothermal Engineers at Rolls-Royce, Derby to work on 12 month contracts (hybrid).

The Aerothermal capability covers gas path aerodynamics (turbomachinery, cooling and combustion), thermodynamics, installation, inlet and exhaust aerodynamics, noise and combustion. The capability relies on skills in Computational Fluid Dynamics at a range of levels of fidelity and testing capability in a range of TRL rigs.

Responsibilities

• Define requirements for aerothermal, ensuring an accurate and complete flow-down and capture of higher-level requirements. This includes system, sub-system and component aerodynamic, thermodynamic and combustion modelling requirements.
• Perform technical analysis of gas path aerothermal functionality at sub-system and component level, using appropriate methods and tools and to a level of fidelity commensurate with each stage of the product lifecycle and the problem being posed.
• Perform appropriate verification and validation activity to ensure that requirements have been correctly met and that all gas path aerothermal related aspects of the powerplant (including numerical modelling) meet expectation. This will include the specification of appropriate test and measurement activity, the calibration of models against measured data, and the quantification of uncertainty.
• Integrate gas path aerothermal systems through interaction with all adjacent areas across the organisation to deliver systems are optimised.
• Define concepts for all gas path aerothermal systems that meet requirements, and evaluate using appropriate analytical methods to support accurate trades at platform and powerplant level and optimised concept down-select. Concepts delivered should be robust to uncertainties in engine interaction and manufacturing capabilities.

Competencies

• Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and have an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
• Knowledge and experience of product integrity / liability and certification frameworks.
• An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters.
