Job Description

Aerothermal Engineer

Full Time

Bristol

Why Rolls-Royce?

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an Aerothermal Engineer to join the Fluid Mechanics Turbine Aerothermal Team part of our Global Mechanical Systems Capability based in Bristol.

The Aerothermal Team is responsible for the development of 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 into the EDP. The team supports Production and Fleet issues.

The Turbine Aerothermal capability covers gas path aerodynamics, blade aerodynamics, whole turbine modelling, Preliminary Cooling Design, Full Cooling design and analysis of NGV, blade and Segment Cooling Systems. It relies on skills in Computational Fluid Dynamics and thermal modelling 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.

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.

We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

Define requirements for turbine 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 turbine 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.Define and conduct capability acquisition, methods development and applications relating to people, process, methods, tools, knowledge management and technology. This may be conducted internally or externally and may involve securing internal or external funding.Perform verification and validation activity to ensure that requirements have been correctly met and that all turbine aerothermal related aspects 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.

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles. To be successful in this role you will need.

Bachelor of Science degree or above in Engineering, Physics or Maths providing an understanding of Thermodynamics, Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer and Computational Fluid Mechanics.Technical knowledge of or interest in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and gas dynamics and have an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing, mechanical analysis and product definition.Experience in Aerothermal design and analysis, whether through academia or industry is desirable.An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters.Membership of a relevant professional body appropriate to region. In the UK - attained/ working towards Chartered status is preferred (and equivalent regional variations).

To work for the Rolls-Royce Defence Business there may be a requirement for an individual to hold a level of National Security Vetting (NSV). If the requirement is identified Rolls-Royce will support the application for NSV if the individual does not currently already have this in place.

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving. We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we will be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.

We welcome applications from people with a refugee background.
