Whisper Aero is pioneering a more compelling and connected future by delivering cleaner, quieter, and more efficient propulsion solutions. Today's open rotor propulsion systems are challenged by safety, noise, and performance limitations at all scales. Whisper's breakthrough technologies allow aircraft to fly anywhere at any time without disturbing communities, at greater speeds, and with incredible improvements in efficiency and cost. Their innovations also enable a new generation of air moving products that can blend into the soundscapes of daily life. Whisper was founded by industry veterans, Mark Moore and Ian Villa, and continues to innovate a future that’s as considerate as it is compelling with its world-class team in Tennessee.
About the Role
Whisper Aero is seeking a talented Propulsion Engineer with experience in the aerodynamic design of compressors and/or fans at the conceptual and preliminary design stages to work onsite in Nashville, TN. The ideal candidate will possess a strong foundation in aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, propulsion, thermodynamics, object-oriented programming (preferably in Python), and design optimization. This role requires the ability to apply engineering fundamentals to develop and refine advanced propulsion concepts that align with Whisper Aero’s commitment to efficiency and low noise. Additional expertise in areas such as software development, airfoil or cascade design, aeroacoustics, parametric geometry generation, CAD, and low- to mid-fidelity aero/propulsion analysis tools is highly valued. Experience with CFD and propulsion system integration will further distinguish candidates ready to contribute to the next generation of quiet, efficient aerospace propulsion.
