Piper Maddox is supporting a major aerospace engineering business with the appointment of a number of Aerothermal Engineers for a next-generation power and propulsion programme.
These positions offer the opportunity to contribute to complex development work, from component-level analysis and concept evaluation through to wider powerplant integration. We’re interested in engineers with expertise across gas-path aerodynamics, turbomachinery, cooling, combustion, and inlet or exhaust flows. Individual responsibilities will depend on your specialism.
The role
You will use analysis and test evidence to understand performance, assess design options and support engineering decisions.
Responsibilities will include:
Your background
We’re looking for engineers who combine a strong understanding of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics with practical modelling and analysis experience. You should be comfortable explaining your assumptions, assessing the limitations of a model and translating results into clear recommendations.
Relevant experience may include:
You do not need expertise across every area listed; we are looking to build a team with complementary capabilities.
Contract arrangements
The roles are inside IR35, with payroll through an Umbrella company and weekly timesheets. A BPSS check is required before onboarding, and eligibility for SC clearance is essential.
