Job description

About the Role 

Whisper Aero is seeking a propulsion engineer experienced with the aerodynamic design of compressors and/or fans at the conceptual and preliminary levels. The candidate must demonstrate high proficiency in the following areas: 

  • Fundamentals:  
  • Aerodynamics 
  • Fluid Mechanics 
  • Propulsion 
  • Thermodynamics 
  • Object-oriented programming (Python preferred) 
  • Design and optimization 

 Additional areas of relevant expertise include: 

  • Software development  
  • Airfoil/cascade design 
  • Aeroacoustics  
  • Parametric geometry generation 
  • CAD 
  • Low-mid fidelity aero/propulsion analysis tools 
  • CFD 
  • Propulsion integration 

What You'll Do 

  • Support the design of Whisper Aero's propulsion technology. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: 
  • Continued development of Whisper Aero's proprietary fan design software. 
  • Conceptual and preliminary aerodynamic design of electric ducted fans, including design space exploration of high-level propulsive characteristics, optimization of detailed cascade geometry, and aerodynamic shaping of duct, centerbody, and other components, all subject to product requirements and manufacturing constraints. 
  • Validation and calibration of performance models against CFD and test results. 
  • Documentation and maintenance of design and performance artifacts. 
  • Continued innovation of fan designs and design processes. 
  • Participation in design reviews, interviews, and proposal writing 

Basic Qualifications 

  • U.S. Person status is required, as this position may access export-controlled data 
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering or relevant technical discipline with a minimum of 4 years of related experience, Master's degree in similar disciplines with a minimum of 2 years of related experience, or PhD in similar disciplines. 
  • Demonstrated experience with the aerodynamic design of compressors and/or fans 
  • High proficiency in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, propulsion, and thermodynamics 
  • Experience with the design and optimization of compressors and/or fans at conceptual and preliminary stages 
  • Expertise in object-oriented programming (Python preferred) 
  • Effective written and oral communication skills 
  • A willingness to work on tasks outside your primary job functions 
  • Familiarity with AI tools (not just ChatGPT, Claude, or an AI notetaker).

Bonus Qualifications 

  • Familiarity with electric ducted fan design and optimization processes 
  • Knowledge of manufacturing constraints for aerodynamic components 
  • Experience with: 
  • Airfoil/cascade design 
  • Aeroacoustics 
  • Parametric geometry generation and CAD tools. 
  • Low to mid fidelity aero/propulsion analysis tools 
  • Propulsion system integration 
  • Understanding of software development practices
