Job Description
Lead the design, development, and integration of propulsion systems for our advanced UAV platforms. Responsible for ensuring that engines, powertrains, and associated subsystems deliver safe, efficient, and reliable performance across all flight conditions. Support the end-to-end introduction of new designs into production and operations.
The role is pivotal to shaping the propulsion architecture and ensuring seamless integration between airframe, power, and control systems.
Role Responsibilities
1. Lead the design and integration of propulsion systems, including engine installation, vibration isolation, cooling, exhaust, and power transmission.
2. Develop and maintain propulsion system requirements and interface definitions with airframe, fuel, electrical, and control systems.
3. Support the development of test plans and participate in ground and flight test activities to verify propulsion system performance.
4. Collaborate closely with avionics, airframe, manufacturing, and flight test teams to ensure successful integration and validation.
5. Maintain relevant technical, compliance, operational and production facing documentation (maintenance programme, inspection checklists, etc).
6. Conduct or coordinate analytical assessments and simulations (structural, thermal, and vibration) to validate designs.
