Aerothermal Engineer

Launch into Aerothermal Engineering with Rolls-Royce's new graduate program, 'Launch', designed for ambitious graduates to make an impact from day one.

As an Aerothermal Engineer, you'll be responsible for aerodynamic design, analysis, and testing of gas turbine components, working with other design capabilities to ensure components meet system requirements, and verifying the effects of manufacturing variations.

Key responsibilities:

• Designing, analyzing, and simulating gas turbine system components and sub-systems using various methodologies, including meanline, throughflow, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Working with performance organization and system level design to define, understand, and interpret sub-system requirements and issue sub-system performance maps and bids
• Collaborating with aeromechanics, heat transfer, mechanical design, and other capabilities to understand their interface with aerodynamic design
• Planning and executing component and sub-system 'rig' tests for product and/or technology development
• Bringing together, interpreting, and reporting CFD simulations, experimental results, and first-principles analyses to develop a cohesive understanding of component and subsystem capabilities against requirements
• Supporting the wider aerodynamics disciplines through capability acquisition, including methods and coding, technology plans, and collaboration across communities of practice
• Applying continuous improvement principles by using and updating best practices, process automation, and eliminating wasteful process steps

Requirements:

• Working toward a Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related degrees
• A strong passion for the future of technology
• Willingness to work flexibly and travel between locations
• An open-minded, curious, and agile approach to work and career development
• Minimum GPA: 3.0
• Work authorization eligibility: U.S. Citizen
• Graduation eligibility: December 2026, May and August 2027

Benefits:

• Meaningful work from day one, with support to help you succeed
• A culture that invests in your personal and professional development
• The chance to grow your skills while working on real projects in a global company
• Comprehensive and competitive Total Rewards package, including base pay, discretionary bonus plan, health, dental, vision, disability, life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance, flexible spending account, health savings account, 401(k) retirement savings plan with company match, Employee Assistance Program, Paid Time Off, paid holidays, paid parental and family care leave, tuition reimbursement, and long-term incentive plan
