Your new role – challenging and future- oriented.
Energy, Siemens Limited India is seeking a responsible, professional, and self-motivated individual to fill a position “Hot Gas Path - Turbine Aerodynamics Engineer “ in Gas Turbine - Research & Development department in Gurgaon, India.
Turbine Aerodynamics engineer is responsible for hot gas flow path design of both stationary & rotating airfoil & the exhaust diffusor. The tasks range from design & analysis of new component/airfoil design, upgrade of existing components, prediction of component performance under new boundary conditions towards customer support and resolving non-conformance reports from manufacturing. We use various inhouse & commercial 1D,2D,3D & CFD tools to design & perform aerodynamics analysis of turbine hot gas path airfoils & diffusor.
In the project work, we often work in close collaboration with cross functional teams located locally & globally. You are taking responsibility for your own work within the project and must have an understanding about the adjacent disciplines work, as well as, for the gas turbine as a system and your component’s function within the system.
The tasks can include coming up with conceptual design, failure mode evaluation, detailed aerodynamics analysis, report writing and defending key technical reviews. Deep knowledge of fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, thermodynamics fundamentals are essential. Basic understanding of Aeroelasticity/Aeromechanics, Heat Transfer and appreciation for the structural integrity field are desirable. In addition to this, aerodynamics engineer needs to support manufacturing support qualification and field-testing aspects, (post final design review) for validation of the product. It is expected to provide technical advice about the suitability of developed design and its application across multiple gas turbine frames. Job requires regular interaction with global teams hence engineer should have persuasive communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge.
Responsibilities:
Turbine aerodynamics calculations for axial gas turbine design focusing on airfoils & exhaust diffusor. Have in-depth knowledge in numerical simulation (1D, 2D and 3D) of compressible flows in turbomachines.
In-depth knowledge in any commercial or in-house Quasi 3D CFD, throughflow and blade to blade tool/solver.
Independently able to create CFD setup by translating various assumptions & design requirements into the numerical model. Experience in CFX, Star CCM+.
2D/3D Aerodynamics CFD calculations to create turbine performance maps for the turbine hot flow path.
Turbine Mean line design, cascade design and analysis.
Knowledge on how to evolve a Turbine Airfoil design & perform optimization.
Able to understand the physics, apply relevant assumptions, interpret results & perform basic hand calculations in fluid mechanics & heat transfer discipline.
Able to understand the product function, design requirements and design principles.
Be a point of contact, speaking partner and provide expertise regarding hot gas path aerodynamics related topics in a project.
Work with project lead to understand the project requirements, find solutions to design challenges, and deliver results within agreed timeline & quality.
We don’t need superheroes, just super minds
Mechanical engineer with a Master’s degree / MTech in Mechanical engineering (major- Aerodynamics, Fluid & Thermal Science) with a focus on fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, heat transfer & thermodynamics.
Minimum 6 years of relevant experience in Aerodynamics design & analysis of axial turbomachinery.
Basic understanding of a FE codes like ANSYS or general-purpose FEA tool.
Basic understanding of Mechanical integrity (Strength, Fatigue, Creep, Fracture) and manufacturing aspects for gas turbine blading.
Experience using Pro / E, NX (Uni-graphics) or other similar solid modeling CAD software for visualization of cooling channel/scheme lay out of components or engine assembly is a merit.
Experience in Providing technical support to other functional areas is a merit.
Exposure to SAP and Teamcenter PLM is a merit.
Programming skills like Python, NX Open
Strong interpersonal skill i.e., collaborator, quick learner, energetic, imaginative, innovative, ability to adapt quickly & effectively etc.
Align with Organization Purpose, Values & Behavior & adhere to business compliance guidelines.
