Job Description / Responsibilities

The scope of responsibilities includes but is not limited to:

• Perform static structural analysis for key compressor components (casing, rotor, shaft, bearing housing, valve covers, etc.) using tools like ANSYS or Altair.
• Conduct dynamic analysis including rotor-dynamics, modal, harmonic, and time-transient studies for rotating assemblies.
• Carry out pulsation and mechanical vibration analysis (per API 618/API 672/ISO standards) to assess pipe stress, foundation loads, and nozzle loads.
• Perform CFD simulations (internal flow, pressure drops, thermal gradients, etc.) for compressors and associated piping using tools like ANSYS Fluent or CFX.
• Support optimization of compressor component design by correlating simulation results with test and field data.
• Prepare and review CAE reports and technical documentation for internal teams, customers, and certifying agencies.
• Contribute to root cause analysis (RCA) and failure investigations using simulation tools and multi-physics approaches.
• Collaborate closely with R&D sub-teams, testing, and manufacturing teams for product validation and design improvements.
• Drive innovation in simulation workflows, automation, and adoption of advanced CAE technologies including AI/ML-assisted simulations.
• Ensure all analyses and documentation adhere to internal quality standards, international design codes, and safety guidelines.

Skills /Competencies Required

• Strong expertise in CAE tools such as ANSYS (Mechanical, Fluent, CFX), Abaqus, HyperMesh, or COMSOL.
• Solid understanding of fundamentals in structural mechanics, rotor dynamics, vibration, acoustics, and fluid dynamics.
