Job description:

At the Institute for Propulsion Technology, we develop environmentally friendly aircraft engines and gas turbines. Our research covers a broad spectrum in the field of turbomachinery technology. We combine competencies of individual systems, numerical simulation, as well as experimental evaluation, thereby understanding the entire machine. Our scientists design new engines and gas turbines, as well as their components, simulate flows, and test their research using the latest self-developed measurement techniques at our state-of-the-art test benches and large-scale facilities.

The Turbine Department at the DLR site in Göttingen focuses on the turbo component turbine. More efficient energy conversion, reduction of the CO2 footprint, longer lifespan, and reduced weight are the goals of the researchers. Moreover, the interaction of components, such as the combustion chamber with the turbine, plays an important role. Questions of heat transfer and the effectiveness of cooling measures are among the core competencies of the department. Technologies, such as the cooling of turbine blades, are to be transferred to other areas to further expand and utilize the knowledge. While high-temperature fuel cells for electric flying appear very attractive, they require adequate heat management. The weight and limited space must be considered. Both influence the design and use of heat transfer mechanisms of the heat exchanger.

Are you interested in collaborating with us to develop solutions for the heat management of future aircraft? We look forward to meeting you. At the Institute for Propulsion Technology, we offer you an entry into excellent top-level research, room for your own ideas, international visibility, collaboration in an international team and with experienced scientists, as well as contact with our partners in science and industry.

Your tasks within the scope of this position include:

• scientific investigation of concepts for new high-temperature heat exchangers for aviation applications
• definition, planning, and execution of simulation processes for the design and optimization of heat exchangers for high-temperature fuel cells in the field of electric aviation

This research center is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centers. With more than 42,000 employees and an annual budget of over € 5 billion, the Helmholtz Association is Germany's largest scientific organisation.
