  • Design efficient distribution systems to deliver hydrogen fuel to propulsion systems while minimizing weight, leakage, and energy losses.
Fuel Cell and Propulsion System Development :
  • Collaborate with propulsion engineers to develop hydrogen fuel cell systems, combustion engines, or hybrid propulsion architectures suitable for aerospace vehicles.
  • Optimize fuel cell performance, efficiency, and power output through system modelling, component selection, and control strategy development.
Performance Analysis and Simulation :
  • Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and system simulation tools to assess the performance and behaviour of hydrogen fuel systems under various operating conditions.
  • Predict system efficiency, range, endurance, and environmental impact to inform design decisions and performance optimization efforts.
Testing and Validation:
  • Plan and conduct ground and flight tests to validate the performance, reliability, and safety of hydrogen fuel systems in real-world aerospace environments.
  • Analyse test data, identify performance anomalies, and implement design improvements based on test results and feedback.
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.
Technology Innovation and Research
  • Stay abreast of advancements in hydrogen fuel technology, aerospace propulsion, and related fields through literature review, technical conferences, and collaboration with research institutions.
  • Drive technology innovation initiatives to improve the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of hydrogen fuel systems for aerospace applications.
Essential Skills:
  • Eng / B,Eng (hons)
  • 5+ years of experience in aerospace engineering, with a focus on propulsion systems, fuel systems, or aircraft systems integration
  • Specialized knowledge of hydrogen fuel technology, including storage, distribution, fuel cells, and combustion processes.
  • Strong analytical skills.
