Research Engineer - Bristol, United Kingdom - Kdc Resource

Description

Contract or Temp
The project is to design and develop fuel systems in support of hydrogen powered aircraft. The project is to design and develop fuel systems in support of hydrogen powered aircraft.

As a Senior Research Engineer specializing in hydrogen fuel systems, your role designing fuel feed systems, selecting appropriate components, and ensuring efficient and reliable delivery of hydrogen fuel to end-users or hydrogen-based applications.

This position requires expertise in mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and hydrogen fuel technology.

Design and develop hydrogen fuel feed systems, including storage tanks, piping networks, valves, regulators, and pressure relief devices, tailored to specific application requirements.

Mixed Phase Fluid Dynamic Analysis

Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), and system simulation tools to assess the performance and behaviour the fuel feed system specifically attending to the transition from liquid storage condition to gaseous use condition.

Predict system efficiency, range, endurance, and environmental impact to inform design decisions and performance optimization efforts.


Regulatory Compliance:

Interface with regulatory agencies such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to facilitate certification and approval processes.

Risk Assessment and

Safety Analysis:

Conduct risk assessments and safety analyses to identify potential hazards associated with hydrogen fuel systems and develop mitigation strategies to ensure safe operation.

Implement safety features, fail-safe mechanisms, and emergency procedures to minimize risks and protect personnel, passengers, and assets.
