Overview

A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Development Engineer (f / m / d), you will apply your expertise in fluid dynamics and heat transfer to simulate and analyze the internal cooling air systems of large gas turbines, as well as the overall thermal behavior of the engine. You will be part of a global engineering team, contributing to both new product development and service-related projects. Your role involves close collaboration with project managers, component engineers, and colleagues from manufacturing and service departments.

Responsibilities

Your key responsibilities include Secondary Air Systems & Clearance Design:

• Using in-house and commercial simulation tools to develop models that describe the cooling air supply to hot gas-path components in gas turbines and evaluate the results.
• Simulate transient heating and expansion of the entire turbine to determine optimal assembly gaps between rotating and stationary components.
• Analyze model results and derive design-relevant conclusions.
• Contribute to the conceptual design for gas turbines.
• Evaluate operational data and findings from prototypes and the current fleet to support design improvements and reliability.

Qualifications

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, with several years of relevant experience, including hands-on experience in the design, development, or operation of gas turbines.
• Strong knowledge of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and general mechanical or process engineering, with familiarity with gas turbines and their components being advantageous.
• Proven ability to analyze complex technical topics and experience with numerical simulation tools, programming languages, and FEM software.
• Familiarity with risk assessment methods, such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA); project experience is desirable.
• Proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and excellent English communication skills, with experience in intercultural collaboration in English-speaking environments.
