Mechanical Engineering Jobs

Supervisors: Dr Xin Dong and colleagues from the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology

Overview

Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship at the University of Nottingham in partnership with Rolls-Royce. The successful candidate will join the Rolls-Royce UTC in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology and contribute to the development of next-generation robotic systems for aero-engine repair and maintenance.

The project addresses a major...

Large-scale wind turbines, specifically located offshore, present very specific technical challenges. Structural design and optimisation of performance in energy conversion are dependent on a correct estimation of the effects of flow, but scale and interaction between devices have a significant impact.

In this project you will work on and develop numerical modelling capabilities for arrays of turbines with non-homogeneous flows and wake effects. The modelling technology will be leveraged to devel...

As part of the Graduate Initiative for "Energy and Industry of the Future" ((GI EIF)), UCBL has launched a scholarship campaign for students from outside France who wish to enroll in the 2nd year of mechanical engineering, and to pursue a research program via an internship at LMFA on the topic "Air Trumpets".

Eligibility : M1 from outside France. Also, the scholarship requires registration at the UCBL (Lyon) Master M2 MFE : Fluid Mechanics and Energetic for academic year 2026-2027. The internship...

The UK’s railway bridge asset stock represents over 80% well-aged (>50 years) infrastructure, often carrying loads beyond their original design capacity, hence in urgent need of a reliable real-time damage identification system. The current practice of visual inspection of bridges can be subjective and exposes the workforce to hazardous job sites. In recent years, there have been significant efforts in instrumenting bridges and assessing the condition of the bridge using direct measurements. The...
