Description

  • Own end-to-end thermal and thermo-mechanical simulation for drone products and major subassemblies using FEM and CFD tools.
  • Define thermal loads, boundary conditions, and material properties for simulation models.
  • Apply model order reduction methods to build accurate and computationally efficient thermal models.
  • Conduct static and transient thermal analyses, including model correlation and heat path optimisation.
  • Validate simulation models against physical test data and refine them based on test results.
  • Plan and execute thermal validation tests across development milestones.
  • Translate analysis results into clear, actionable design and material selection recommendations.
  • Produce comprehensive design reports and sensitivity studies that support optimal thermal solutions and quality standards.

Requirements

  • Experience building and validating FEM and CFD thermal models for aerospace or similarly demanding thermo-mechanical applications.
  • Experience with tools such as StarCCM+ or equivalent.
  • Ability to analytically assess thermal challenges using material properties, fluid characteristics, and test standards.
  • Proficiency in CAD-based model preparation and structural simplification for thermal and CFD workflows.
  • Fluency with calculation tools such as Matlab/Simulink for thermal assessments and sensitivity studies.
  • Ability to communicate complex thermal findings clearly in written English and produce high-quality engineering documentation.
  • Ability to act decisively with minimal guidance, own outcomes end-to-end, and initiate solutions independently.
  • Experience within drone or UAV thermal programmes, including test campaign planning, is preferred.
  • Familiarity with model order reduction techniques applied to thermo-mechanical or fluid dynamics problems is preferred.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with VSOP options.
  • Relocation support of up to €2,500 plus 4 weeks of temporary accommodation.
  • €500/£450 annual learning and development allowance.
  • Gym membership and mental health support through Nilo.health.
  • Regular company events and monthly social allowances.
  • Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers and 6 weeks for secondary caregivers.
  • 5 days of paid family emergency leave, plus a 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work.
  • Hands-on onboarding program with early cross-team exposure and tooling projects.
