Whisper Aero is pioneering a more compelling and connected future by delivering cleaner, quieter, and more efficient propulsion solutions. Today's open rotor propulsion systems are challenged by safety, noise, and performance limitations at all scales. Whisper's breakthrough technologies allow aircraft to fly anywhere at any time without disturbing communities, at greater speeds, and with incredible improvements in efficiency and cost. Their innovations also enable a new generation of air moving products that can blend into the soundscapes of daily life. Whisper was founded by industry veterans, Mark Moore and Ian Villa, and continues to innovate a future that’s as considerate as it is compelling with its world-class team in Tennessee.
Whisper Aero is seeking a diligent, detail-oriented and hardworking Aero-thermal Engineer familiar with different fidelity heat transfer codes (from network models to conjugate heat transfer CFD codes) to assist with the design of thermal analysis in advanced electric propulsion systems to work onsite in Nashville, TN. This role will be focused on developing cooling schemes and carrying out detailed thermal analysis for integrated motor/propulsor problems. It will involve some working knowledge of heat sources in electric motors and power electronics associated with electric propulsors. They will drive key thermodynamic, aero performance, and aero-thermo-structural design decisions and regularly work closely with our Flight Sciences Lead, Flight Sciences team, Chief Engineer, and Technical Project Leads. In this role, you will work with the team to identify thermal constraints for future propulsors, manage cooling schemes for propulsors in different thrust classes, develop thermal codes, provide pre-test predictions, and code validation.
