Aeroacoustics Research Engineer
Job Summary
Working closely with the Technology Lead you will play a key role in developing our capability within the emerging UAM market to design and optimise propulsion systems for acoustic and propulsive efficiency, and to illustrate the trades; you will also develop the opportunity to directly influence the architecture and overall design of new aircraft from the perspective of acoustic signatures.
We want you to help design new software for interpreting aerodynamic data, write scripts and code for filtering and optimising for specific design points to enable a rapid optimisation code for propellers.
You will need a sound understanding of the industry standard CFD software and how to use it, both within the Low fidelity realm of text based tools such as XROTOR and XFOIL and the High Fidelity realm where we use Siemens STAR CCM+
Our vision is to broaden our field of influence, to be able to engage with our customers at an earlier stage of their development and to help inform them with propulsion design choices that complement the entire vehicle in all aspects of the performance envelope.
