Location: Abu Dhabi
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Define combustor design requirements using engine cycle data, thrust requirements, pressure loss allowances, emissions targets, ignition envelope, and turbine inlet temperature constraints.
  • •Translate system-level requirements into combustor architecture, including dome/primary zone design, swirler configuration, fuel injection, dilution strategy, and cooling philosophy.
  • •Perform sizing and concept development using first-principles calculations, empirical correlations, and iterative trade-off studies.
  • •Analyze flow field behavior, mixing efficiency, ignition performance, flame stability, liner heat load, and combustor exit temperature distribution.
  • •Support CFD studies and rig/full engine testing, then drive design iterations based on test findings, performance gaps, operability concerns, and durability outcomes.

Key Requirements

  • •Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related discipline.
  • •8–10 years of progressive experience in gas turbine combustion, combustor design, or propulsion system development.
  • •Strong combustor fundamentals, including swirl, recirculation, fuel atomization, flame stabilization, liner cooling, dilution, and turbine temperature management.
  • •Experience across the full combustor design lifecycle from concept development through verification and testing.
  • •Ability to correlate CFD and analytical outputs with rig or engine test data and implement design improvements.
