Pump Engineer II

About POWERTECH

POWERTECH is a center of excellence for propulsion technologies, specializing in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of combustion engines, expendable turbojet engines, and turbofan engines for a wide range of aerospace, defence, and autonomous applications, including fixed- and rotary-wing UAVs and other advanced platforms.

We are seeking a highly motivated Pump Design Engineer to design, analyse, and validate fuel and pumps for small gas turbine engines. The engineer will be responsible for full life‑cycle pump development—from concept and detailed design through performance validation and integration with the engine’s lubrication and fuel systems.

• Pump Design & Development
• Perform design trade‑offs considering efficiency, NPSH, cavitation limits, packaging within the engine core and select best configuration.
• Design gear and other types of pumps for:
• Fuel systems
• Lubrication systems
• Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, and engineering drawings complying with aerospace standards (GD&T, tolerance analysis, material selection).
• Select suitable electric motor and coordinate with electrical team.
• Analysis & Simulation
• Conduct CFD analyses (internal flow, pressure distribution, cavitation prediction, efficiency optimisation).
• Perform FEA for structural integrity, rotor dynamics, fatigue life, thermal effects under transient operating conditions.
• Use ANSYS Fluent, CFX, STAR‑CCM⁺, and ANSYS Mechanical to validate designs before prototype fabrication.
• Testing & Validation
• Define and execute pump test procedures, including performance mapping, endurance testing, and vibration/thermal qualification.
• Support integration testing with engine subsystems.
• Work closely with test engineers to correlate CFD/FEA predictions with experimental data.
• Cross‑Functional Collaboration
• Collaborate with compressor, bearing, and control system teams for hydraulic and mechanical integration.
• Coordinate with ECU and MGU design teams for control logic and power requirements of electrically driven pumps.
• Participate in Design Reviews (PDR, CDR).
• Documentation and compliance with aerospace design standards (MIL‑STD‑810).
• Documentation & Communication
• Prepare detailed design reports, test documentation, and design justification packages.
• Present technical findings to multidisciplinary teams and management.
• Maintain accurate version control and design traceability through PLM tools.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Fluid Machinery Engineering.
• Minimum 4–8 years of experience in pump design (aerospace or high‑speed industrial).
• Strong proficiency in CFD and FEA (ANSYS, Solid Works Simulation, or similar).
