About the role
- At Heart Aerospace we develop the ES-30, a regional hybrid-electric airplane with a capacity of 30 passengers, an electric zero-emission range of 200 km and an extended hybrid range of 400 km. Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.
- As a Propulsion Engineer focused on Transmission, you will be essential in designing, developing, and integrating the mechanical power transmission system within our hybrid-electric propulsion framework. Transmission system includes but is not limited to shaft, drive shafts, couplings, gearbox, and disconnect systems. You will collaborate closely with teams
Responsibilities
- Perform sizing, strength, thermal, and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) analyses of transmission components.
- Work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to guide component development, material selection, and manufacturing processes.
- Lead and support testing and validation efforts including test rig development, instrumentation, and data analysis.
- Collaborate with propulsion integration teams to ensure seamless integration into the aircraft.
- Support certification and compliance activities in alignment with aviation regulatory bodies (e.g., EASA, FAA).
- Define requirements, specifications, and interface documents for transmission subsystems.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience in mechanical transmission design, preferably in aerospace or automotive sectors.
- Hands-on experience in testing and validation of rotating machinery.
- Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., CATIA, Siemens NX) and CAE tools FEA, Python, Ansys for structural analysis and Github.
- Experience with gear design, bearings, lubrication systems, and housing structures
- Aircraft or rotorcraft rotor dynamics and external loads analysis.
Nice to have
- Knowledge of aerospace airworthiness standards, e.g. DO-254, and DO-160.
- Master's or PhD degree in in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a relevant discipline.
- Understanding of certification requirements (EASA CS-23/25 or FAA FAR Part 23/25).
Skills
- Heart is targeting type certification of the ES-30 by the end of the decade.
