About the role
- Canada Rocket Company is building the turbomachinery that drives our 700 kN engine.
- We're looking for a Turbomachinery Engineer - Fluidic Design to lead the analysis, design, and optimization of the rotating machinery at the heart of the engine; pumps: inducers, impellers, diffusers, volutes; turbines: manifolds, nozzles and rotor blades; and the secondary flow systems/axial thrust balancing.
- You'll own the hydrodynamic and aerodynamic design point, the off-design behaviour, and the secondary circuit using both reduced order modeling and 3D CFD.
Responsibilities
- Lead the fluidic design of cryogenic pumps and hot-side turbines end-to-end, inducers, impellers, diffusers, volutes, turbine manifolds, nozzles and rotors; the secondary flow circuits/axial balancing systems from preliminary sizing through detailed design and validation.
- Define and refine flow path geometry in Siemens NX and develop blade definitions in ANSYS BladeModeler.
- Own performance prediction across the operating map: NPSH margins, head-flow and efficiency curves, blockage and stall limits, tip leakage, secondary flow losses, supersonic nozzle while considering mechanical limitations.
- Investigate off-design and transient behaviour, start and shutdown transients, throttling, and cycle coupling, and feed the results back into the design and the engine cycle model.
- Develop and maintain in-house preliminary design codes, reduced-order models, and post-processing tooling in Python, MATLAB, or FORTRAN.
- Build the workflow, not just the report.
- Drive pre-test predictions, instrumentation strategy, and post-test correlation for component and full turbopump campaigns.
- Reconcile CFD with measured data, close the loop, and improve predictive capability for the next build.
- Work directly with mechanical design, manufacturing, and test to make sure what's analytically optimal is also buildable and inspectable.
- Produce the analysis reports, test reports, and design review packages that anchor configuration decisions across the program.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field, with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience.
- A graduate degree with 3 years of experience is equivalent.
