Astro Mechanica
The Propulsion Cycle Analysis Engineer at Astro Mechanica is responsible for modeling the thermodynamic cycles of a novel turboelectric adaptive jet engine, using tools like NPSS, PyCycle, and GasTurb to predict engine performance based on analytical maps and operating conditions. In this role, the engineer collaborates with propulsion, aircraft, and test teams for conceptual trade studies, enhances simulation models with real-world data, and analyzes test data to improve hardware performance. A strong foundation in fluid dynamics and thermodynamics is essential, along with experience in instrumentation and data acquisition systems to ensure high-quality results in a fast-paced environment.
