Fluid & Thermal Analysis Engineer - HYTE®

Jobster, City of London, England, United Kingdom

• Fluid & Thermal Analysis Engineer (Contract)

Location:

London, UK

• This role is being managed exclusively by HYTE on a retained basis.

Direct applications and confidential enquiries are welcomed.

HYTE is retained by a specialist advanced engineering consultancy to identify an experienced Fluid & Thermal Analysis Engineer to provide technical analysis and formal sign‑off on a contract basis. The role is engaged as and when required, supporting a pipeline of technically demanding projects rather than a continuous full‑time workload. The engineer will act as a trusted technical authority, providing independent validation, analysis depth, and confidence across fluid dynamics and thermal performance.

The position suits a highly experienced engineer who is comfortable operating autonomously, engaging at critical project milestones, and standing behind their technical judgement.

• Provide fluid dynamics and thermal analysis to support advanced engineering programmes.
• Perform and sign off CFD, thermal modelling, and associated calculations as required.
• Act as an independent technical authority for design verification and validation.
• Review internal and third‑party analysis, challenging assumptions where appropriate.
• Support engineering decision‑making at key design gates and review stages.
• Interface directly with senior engineering leadership and project stakeholders.
• Ensure analysis outputs are aligned with real‑world operating conditions and system constraints.

• Highly experienced engineer specialising in fluid mechanics and thermal analysis.
• Background in gas turbines strongly preferred; experience in turbo‑machinery, propulsion, or high‑energy systems advantageous.
• Proven capability delivering analysis and sign‑off in safety‑critical or performance‑critical environments.
• Comfortable operating as a contractor, with intermittent but responsive availability.
• Strong commercial awareness and ability to engage pragmatically with design teams.
• Able to communicate complex technical findings clearly to non‑specialist stakeholders.

• Flexible, project‑based engagement aligned to fluctuating programme demand.
• Opportunity to support complex, high‑consequence engineering work without permanent headcount commitment.
• High‑trust role with direct influence over critical technical decisions.
• Potential for repeat engagement as project requirements evolve through 2026 and beyond.
