Aerothermal Engineer

The Fluid Mechanics Fan & Compressor Aerothermal Team based in Derby has an opportunity for a motivated individual to join the team.

Rolls-Royce?

At Rolls-Royce we are proud to be a business that has truly helped to shape the modern world and are committed to always being a force for progress; powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

By joining Rolls-Royce, you'll have the opportunity to work on world-class solutions, supported by a culture that believes individuality is our greatest strength, and all perspectives, experiences and backgrounds help us innovate and enable our high-performance culture.

The Fan & Compressor Aerothermal Team is responsible for the development of Fan & Compressor Aerothermal capability.

The team delivers 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 through in to the EDP.

The team supports Production and Fleet issues.

The Fan & Compressor Aerothermal capability covers whole module gas path aerodynamics & performance analysis, blade/vane aerodynamic design & analysis, production & fleet support.

It relies on skills in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Aerodynamic Design at a range of 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.

This role is part of the Global Mechanical Systems Capability.

What you will be doing:

• Define requirements for Fan & Compressor 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.
• Define concepts for all Fan & Compressor 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 selection. Concepts delivered should be robust to uncertainties in engine interaction and manufacturing capabilities.
