Overview
Mechanical Design Engineer - Turbojet Engines at Destinus, Madrid, Spain. Join our gas turbine development team to design and optimize advanced gas turbine engines, focusing on mixed-flow compressor stages (centrifugal and axial), high-speed rotor shafts, and bearing systems. You will apply knowledge of material behavior under high thermal and mechanical stresses, precision tolerancing for high-speed assemblies, and design for manufacturability. Knowledge of rotordynamics is advantageous.
What You'll Do
- Design & Development : Design and optimize gas turbine components, including mixed centrifugal and axial compressor stages, rotor shafts, and bearing systems, ensuring high performance and reliability
- Thermomechanical Analysis : Analyze the thermomechanical behavior of materials under extreme operating conditions to guide material selection and design decisions
- Tolerances & Fits : Define and implement precise tolerances, fits, and clearances to ensure performance and manufacturability of high-speed assemblies
- Design for Manufacturability : Incorporate design for manufacturability and assembly principles into all stages of the design process
- Analysis & Validation : Perform stress analyses to assess structural integrity and reliability of components under thermal and mechanical loads
- Testing Collaboration : Collaborate with testing teams to validate designs, interpret test results, and make iterative improvements
- Validation Tools : Use analytical tools such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to supplement design decisions when needed
- Cross-Functional Collaboration : Partner with aerodynamics, materials, and manufacturing teams to align designs with performance and production goals
- Documentation : Generate detailed technical documentation, including CAD models, engineering drawings, and design reports
- Design Reviews : Contribute to design reviews, presenting technical insights and rationale for engineering decisions
