Engineer II Advanced Aerodynamics & Propulsion EDGE Group PJSC

Advanced Engine Architecture & Conceptual Design

• Develop and evaluate new propulsion concepts using physics-based modeling.
• Lead preliminary cycle analyses and trade studies (thrust, SFC, weight, thermal and operability limits).
• Generate conceptual engine layouts, flow path definitions, and preliminary aerodynamic sizing and parametric studies.
• Build and improve tools for early-stage architecture assessment.
• Translate flow analyses into system-level impacts on thrust, cycle limits, efficiency, and operability.
• Support concept down-selection by integrating aerodynamic, cycle, and feasibility insights.

Aerodynamic Modeling & Process Development

• Model and simulate internal and external aerodynamics across various flow regimes.
• Analyze compressible-flow phenomena such as shocks, expansions, and shock-boundary layer interactions.
• Evaluate performance of intakes, nozzles, and cooling/secondary air systems.
• Assess distortion, stability margins, flow separation, and aerodynamic efficiency.

• Implement robust methods for compressible-flow estimation in preliminary design.

Testing, Validation & Model Correlation

• Support engine test campaigns and component experiments to validate predictions.
• Integrate empirical data to refine models and quantify uncertainty.

Skills & Attributes

• Ability to combine theoretical, analytical, and computational insights into cohesive design decisions.
• Strong communication skills with ability to influence early design choices.
• High attention to detail and excellent technical documentation skills.
