Fluid Systems Engineer

Fluid Systems Engineer

Latitude

Reims, France

Responsibilities

As Fluid Systems Engineer you will participate in several tasks around fluidic simulation, testing and integration of both ground and on-board equipment. To test all elements of the engine, multiple test benches will be integrated before the end of this year. After which, both stages will need to be integrated and tested as well. The test results will need to be analyzed to see how the system responded in real life conditions.

Tasks & missions

Your main missions will consist in:

• Identify all the fluid functions for vehicle and ground proximity means (filling, pressurization, and conditioning facilities) - Carry-out sizing studies of the different processes;
• Dynamic modeling of fluid processes;
• Search for appropriate technical solutions;
• Participate in vehicle integration studies with other departments (propulsion, architecture and industrial departments);
• Define detailed specifications for fluid systems components and collaborate with suppliers ensuring compliance with quality standards and technical requirements;
• Write operational documentation of fluid processes for program development reviews;
• Develop the test logic of the ground segment and stages installations;
• Analyze test results in order to continuously improve vehicle performance;
• Liaise with other engineering departments (structures, avionics, quality, etc.) in order to understand the systems various constraints such as mechanical, electrical, control command and environmental.

Preferred experience & skills

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical, or Energy Engineering (or equivalent);
• 2+ years of relevant experience in the aerospace, chemical, energy, or a similar industry;
• Strong understanding of fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and system modelling;
• Knowledge of valve technologies, pressure regulators, and industrial piping is a strong plus;
• Hands-on experience with modelling software (e.g., Ecosim) is an asset, as well as familiarity with CAD tools (NX, CATIA…), CFD software (Fluent, Star-CCM+), and programming languages (Python, MATLAB, Fortran);
• Comfortable with iterative design processes and able to adapt in a fast-moving development environment;
• Strong teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across disciplines;
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).
