Engineer Aero-Thermal - Combustion (f/m/d)

Job Description

Why Rolls-Royce?

Work with us on shaping the future of mobility – in an environment that embraces innovation, promotes sustainability, and offers you global perspectives.

Our new engine represents a new generation of propulsion technology: low-emission, high-performance, and forward-looking.

You’ll be part of an international company culture that supports your development and gives you access to exciting global projects.

Key accountabilities:

• Aero-thermal design and development of aero-engine gas turbine combustion chambers and its components.
• Teaming-up the global Rolls-Royce combustion team and supporting the development of Rolls-Royce low emissions combustion technology and methodology focusing on NOx and particulate emissions (nvPM).
• Managing the trades for combustion between operability, emissions, efficiency and thermo-acoustics defining safe, creative, robust and optimised solutions while managing risk and applying new technology as appropriate.
• Supporting the group to work on aero-thermal combustion tasks of all Rolls-Royce gas turbines in development and in-service.
• Applying and developing in-house computational tools and methods during all phases of the combustor design definition phase to derive understanding of component and system level interactions in high temperature environments.
• Definition, support and analysis of validation experiment; feed-back of test results and implementation of design changes into new technology developments from low TRL and high TRL rigs up to engine validation levels.
• Define and support National and European funded R&T programmes to acquire new combustion technologies with universities and sub-contractors.

Qualification:

• Engineering degree in mechanical or aerospace technology or equivalent degrees or experience, potentially PhD.
• Profound knowledge in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics; experience in gas turbine combustion and in design and operation of aero-engine combustors preferred.
• Technical knowledge on the field of aero-engine emissions preferably non-volatile particulate matter.
• An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters.
• Good communication skills, team spirit and team player.
