We are seeking a capable, amenable and self-motivated gas turbine design engineer to join our team and drive our current and future gas turbine programmes forward.
Key Qualifications
BSc/BEng in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (or HNC/HDC with equivalent experience)
5+ years of gas turbine relevant mechanical analysis experience
Proficient in modelling parts and assemblies in 3D CAD (ideally, but not essential CREO, training provided)
Proficient in producing detailed manufacturing drawings
Experience with a PLM system (ideally Windchill, training provided)
Experience with typical gas turbine materials, processes and practices
Experience with small gas turbine engines is considered a major advantage
Responsibilities
Working with the GT50 Chief Engineer and technical specialists to develop mechanical design schemes and details designs of gas turbine parts and assemblies.
Develop rotating and stationary components.
Develop cast, fabricated and machined parts and assemblies.
Develop schemes for engine dressing.
Verify engine assembly processes.
Develop schemes for controlling tolerance stacks and critical fits and clearances.
Creating high quality 3D CAD models of engine parts and assemblies.
Working closely with the production team to ensure parts and assemblies are robustly optimised for efficient manufacture.
Creating high quality technical drawings and documentation.
Working strictly to agreed deadlines.
Management of design and airworthiness requirements.
Working closely with technical specialists to rapidly optimize the design.
We are building a revolutionary, private light helicopter and engine at our design and production centre in Stafford. The Hill HX50 satisfies a long-unfulfilled demand in the aviation market for a modern, stylish and affordable rotary aircraft. Its composite design, interior luxury and advanced powerplant makes supercar styling, performance and comfort available to helicopter buyers for the first time. The aircraft and engine are all British designed and built in Hill’s own factory. By eliminating expensive supply chains, Hill is dramatically reducing the cost of helicopter ownership and operation. The biofuel-ready engine and cellulose biowaste fuel solution introduce a commercially and technically achievable path to net-zero in general aviation.
Reflecting the gap in the market that it fills, the response to the Hill helicopter has exceeded all expectations. HX50 has become the world’s fastest selling helicopter -- redefining the general aviation market globally.
