Powertrain Mechanical Designer

Aviation will be electric

We believe that aviation will only be electric in the next decades, and we are fully committed to making this a reality, by building the first electric business aircraft using hydrogen propulsion to fly up to 800 NM, five times further than a battery-powered aircraft.

We deeply value caring for our team of Beyonders fostering a culture of trust and collaboration. We constantly aim to explore new horizons and continuously raise our standards, while maintaining a pragmatic mindset. Above all, we are all driven by one mission :

Make possible, certifiable and profitable the first private aircraft designed for hydrogen-electric propulsion.

About The Role We are seeking a powertrain mechanical designer with proven experience in the design and integration of turbomachinery in aircraft engines and/or aerostructures. The ideal candidate will possess an excellent understanding of the physical constraints related to the integration of engine components (volume, weight, vibration, loads…), as well as good awareness of certification requirements. As a Powertrain Mechanical Design Engineer, you will work closely with the Lead Propulsion Engineer.

Valuable member of the team your role will be :

Deliver the CAD design of the engine, including sub-systems and components

Evaluate different physical integration of the engine components (fan, gearbox, cooling pumps, e-motor…), considering inputs from different teams

Track engine component weights and update the e-BOM

Estimate component dimensions and masses using the most appropriate method at each stage of the development (hand calculations, semi-empirical methods, supplier data, detailed simulation, etc)

Prepare technical requirements for suppliers and participate in meetings with suppliers

Integrate individual engine components into the larger engine assembly, taking into account all the relevant physical constraints (vibration, thermal, electrical, clearances, etc)

Work in close coordination with Propulsion structural engineers to optimize the design of the structural elements within the engine

Participate in design reviews and safety reviews

Compile and deliver all the documentation associated with the mechanical design (drawings, checklists…)

The mission will be successful if Beyond has a robust, certifiable, and efficient hydrogen-electric propulsion system ready for the entry into service of the aircraft.
