About the job
ABOUT US:
At Astro Mechanica, we are reimagining the future of aerospace. Our company is dedicated to creating a faster, more interconnected world through innovative supersonic travel solutions that are not only efficient but also sustainable. We aim to make high-speed flight accessible to all by developing our unique Duality™ propulsion system, which integrates advanced airframe and engine technologies. Our focus is on providing flexible, point-to-point global mobility, revolutionizing how people and goods traverse the globe. Currently, we are collaborating with the United States government to enhance aircraft performance through adaptable high-speed systems.
WHO WE ARE:
We are a dynamic team of engineers driven by a shared passion for aerospace innovation. Our flat organizational structure encourages collaboration and allows us to maintain a pragmatic approach to engineering. We prioritize rapid development and the pursuit of excellence in our projects.
WHO YOU ARE:
A seasoned aerospace engineer with a strong background in inlet design and propulsion-airframe integration for high-speed aircraft.
A proactive engineer who excels in complex, interconnected design challenges.
Skilled in managing intricate subsystems from initial analytical evaluations to detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and system integration.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
Lead the design, analysis, and integration of supersonic air inlet systems for advanced propulsion-airframe configurations.
Utilize analytical methods, reduced-order modeling, and CFD to support inlet architecture selections and performance assessments.
Assess inlet performance metrics such as mass flow capture, pressure recovery, flow distortion, and operability throughout the flight envelope.
Collaborate with propulsion, airframe, and systems engineers to address integration challenges related to bleed systems, secondary flows, and transient behavior.
Provide technical leadership and independent judgment within a fast-paced, multidisciplinary aerospace design environment.
