System Design and Development

  • Design and develop hydrogen fuel feed systems, including storage tanks, piping networks, valves, regulators, and pressure relief devices, tailored to specific application requirements.
Component Selection and Specification:
  • Select appropriate components and materials for hydrogen fuel feed systems based on factors such as pressure ratings, flow rates, compatibility with hydrogen, and safety considerations.
  • Specify system components, including tanks, valves, fittings, and connectors, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulations.
Mixed Phase Fluid Dynamic Analysis
  • Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and system simulation tools to assess the performance and behaviour the fuel feed system specifically attending to the transition from liquid storage condition to gaseous use condition.
  • Predict system efficiency, range, endurance, and environmental impact to inform design decisions and performance optimization efforts.
Regulatory Compliance:
  • Ensure compliance with aviation regulations, industry standards, and safety requirements governing the design, certification, and operation of hydrogen fuel systems in aerospace vehicles.
  • Interface with regulatory agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to facilitate certification and approval processes.
Risk Assessment and Safety Analysis:
  • Conduct risk assessments and safety analyses to identify potential hazards associated with hydrogen fuel systems and develop mitigation strategies to ensure safe operation.
  • Implement safety features, fail-safe mechanisms, and emergency procedures to minimize risks and protect personnel, passengers, and assets.
Essential Skills:
  • Eng / M.Sc im Mechanical or Chemical engineering or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in aerospace engineering, with a focus on fuel feed systems especially Hydrogen as a fuel.
