Aerothermal Engineer

Eleven are delighted to be partnering with a ground-breaking clean energy start-up, based in Oxfordshire, who are revolutionising fuel technology by cracking green ammonia, to achieve zero-carbon ammonia & hydrogen, for a range of industrial applications.

Their heat exchanger technology & ammonia cracking expertise, will combine to bring to market lightweight and compact cracking reactors for green ammonia, providing power and propulsion solutions for use in hard-to-decarbonise sectors such as aviation, marine shipping, and power generation.

With the business due to close out their latest funding round by Q1 2023, they are now looking to make a number of strategic hires, as they continue to scale their technology towards commercial application.

As such, they are now looking to identify a creative and skilled aerothermal engineer to join their technical team. This position would best suit a high calibre individual, with a strong understanding of thermal management systems and reacting flows, with particular emphasis on combustion phenomena.

If you are an experienced & creative engineer, passionate about the path to Net-Zero & associated clean technologies, please get in touch for a confidential discussion!

You Will

•    Provide expert aerothermal support for company development, demonstration, and product programmes
•   Lead specification, development, and test, of novel reacting flow systems and combustion technology on in-house and contracted test rigs, and demonstrator systems
•   Perform CFD simulations of high-temperature and/or reacting/combusting flows, translating results to explain system behaviour and provide performance estimates.

About You

•    A Masters-level degree in mechanical/ chemical engineering, or another relevant field of engineering or science
•    Demonstrable experience simulating high-temperature systems and subsystems (e.g. thermal management and combustion systems) using a variety of 0D-3D modelling approaches and tools
•    Experience in designing systems utilising hydrogen and/or ammonia as working fluids and/or as fuels
• Strong knowledge of high-temperature fluid flows and thermal management technology

 
What you can expect

•    A fast-paced environment, positioned on the cutting edge of technology development aimed at supporting rapid decarbonising of global maritime, aviation, and industrial activity.
•    Being a part of an entrepreneurial, well financed start-up, at ground level, where you can make a real impact in the company’s journey
•    Industry leading salaries
