Job description

Responsibilities:

System Design and Integration:

Lead the design and integration efforts of hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems into aerospace platforms, ensuring optimal performance. Work closely with partners and suppliers, including academics, to develop comprehensive system architectures and specifications, focusing on the integration of subsystems and balance of plants.

Technical Analysis and Modelling:

Conduct rigorous technical analysis and modelling to validate the performance and efficiency of hydrogen fuel cell systems, with a keen focus on thermal management and safety considerations. Use advanced simulation tools and methodologies to optimise system performance and address integration challenges effectively.

Systems Requirement Management:

Define and manage comprehensive systems requirements, ensuring alignment with project objectives, regulatory standards, and customer expectations. Implement robust requirements traceability and verification processes to validate system performance and compliance throughout the development lifecycle.

Validation and Verification:

Develop and execute thorough validation and verification plans to ensure the integrity and safety of hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems. Coordinate testing activities and analyse results to validate system performance against established requirements, driving continuous improvement and optimisation.

Product Development Lifecycle:

Lead the product development lifecycle, from conceptualisation and preliminary design reviews (PDR) to detailed design phases and critical design reviews (CDR). Apply aerospace industry standards and best practices to drive the qualification and certification of hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems.

Requirements:

Extensive experience in systems engineering, with a focus on hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems (preferred but not essential). Strong background in thermal management and safety processes. Demonstrated expertise in integrating complex subsystems into cohesive systems. Proficiency in systems requirement management, validation, and verification methodologies. Prior experience in product development within the aerospace industries is highly desirable. Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively in cross-functional teams.
