Propulsion Aerodynamics Engineer role focused on aerodynamic design of compressors and fans with expertise in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, propulsion, thermodynamics, and programming.

О компании

is pioneering a more compelling and connected future by delivering cleaner, quieter, and more efficient propulsion solutions. Today's open rotor propulsion systems are challenged by safety, noise, and performance limitations at all scales. Whisper's breakthrough technologies allow aircraft to fly anywhere at any time without disturbing communities, at greater speeds, and with incredible improvements in efficiency and cost. Their innovations also enable a new generation of air moving products that can blend into the soundscapes of daily life. Whisper was founded by industry veterans, Mark Moore and Ian Villa, and continues to innovate a future that’s as considerate as it is compelling with its world-class team in Tennessee. 
About the Role  
is seeking a propulsion engineer experienced with the aerodynamic design of compressors and/or fans at the conceptual and preliminary levels. The candidate must demonstrate high proficiency in the following areas:  
Fundamentals:   
Aerodynamics  
Fluid Mechanics

Design and optimization  
  Additional areas of relevant expertise include:  
Software development   
Airfoil/cascade design  
Aeroacoustics   
Parametric geometry generation  
CAD  
Low-mid fidelity aero/propulsion analysis tools  
CFD  
Propulsion integration  
What  You’ll Do  
Support the design of ’s propulsion technology. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:  
Continued development of ’s proprietary fan design software.  
Conceptual and preliminary aerodynamic design of electric ducted fans, including design space exploration of high-level propulsive characteristics, optimization of detailed cascade geometry, and aerodynamic shaping of duct, centerbody, and other components, all subject to product requirements and manufacturing constraints.  
Validation and calibration of performance models against CFD and test results.  
Documentation and maintenance of design and performance artifacts.  
Continued innovation of fan designs and design processes.  
Participation in design reviews, interviews, and proposal writing  
Basic Qualifications  
U.S. Person status is required, as this position may access export-controlled data
