Job description

Job Description

A Snapshot of Your Day

Heat transfer engineer design, analyzes and implements the thermal design of Turbine components such as Blades, Vanes/Nozzle, Casing & Rotor discs. A given day could involve engagement in concept generation, heat transfer & fluid dynamics calculations using 1D/2D in-house tools and hand calculations. Other days could see collaboration with interface discipline like CAD modelers to define 3D CFD/CHT model, prepare boundary conditions, solving CFD/CHT calculations, debugging and reviewing the results. The tasks range from design & analysis of new components, upgrade of existing components, prediction of component performance under new boundary conditions towards customer support and resolving non-conformance reports from manufacturing. In addition to this, engineer needs to support developmental and testing aspects (post final design review) for validation of the product. Job requires regular interaction with global teams hence engineer should have persuasive communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge.

How Youll Make an Impact (Gas Turbine, R& D, India)

• Heat transfer and cooling design and analysis of gas turbine parts (rotating or stationary or system).
• Heat transfer and flow analysis using inhouse & commercial 1D,2D,3D-CFD codes e.g., CFX, Star CCM+. Able to understand physics, apply relevant assumptions, interpret results & perform basic hand calculations in fluid mechanics & heat transfer discipline.
• Thermal & Flow modelling using flow network approach with pressure loss and heat transfer correlations. Able to apply boundary conditions to a FE solver (ANSYS, ABAQUS, NX- Sim center) for the calculations of material temperature.
• Able to understand the product function, design requirements and design guidelines.
• Be a point of contact, speaking partner and provide expertise regarding hot gas path heat transfer related topics in a project.
• Collaborate with project lead in understanding the project requirements, find solutions to design challenges, and deliver results within agreed timeline & quality.
• A fraction of time will be dedicated to advancing the technical expertise of other team members and mentoring.
• Opportunities exist for travel and publishing technical reports in journals and conferences.

What You Bring

• Mechanical engineer with an MTech in Mechanical engineering (major in - Fluid & Thermal Science) and demonstrated expertise in the field of heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
• An attitude of curiosity, perseverance in the face of uncertainty, and a desire for engineering excellence as well as patience, as Turbine hardware definition, analysis and test often take time.
• A balance between scientific rigor and engineering compromise.
• Minimum 6-7 years of relevant experience in thermal analysis and design of cooled gas turbine components.
• Ability to generate thermal boundary conditions and perform Flow & Heat Transfer engineering calculations both for analytical, flow network, correlation based, and CFD & Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) based tasks.
• Basic knowledge of Finite element analysis & ability to review the results. Good Familiarity with FE codes like ANSYS or general-purpose FEA tool.
• Basic knowledge of Turbomachinery Aerodynamics, Strength of Materials (Fatigue, Creep, Fracture), and manufacturing aspects for gas turbine blading.
• Basic working knowledge of NX (Uni-graphics) or other similar solid modeling CAD software.
• Exposure to SAP and Teamcenter PLM
• Programming skills like Python, NX Open

Personality

• Strong interpersonal skill i.e., collaborator, quick learner, energetic, imaginative, innovative, ability to adapt quickly & effectively etc.
• Self-driven in work tasks with a willingness to learn and try new methods to solve a problem.
• Align with Organization Purpose, Values & Behavior & adhere to business compliance guidelines.
• Effective communicator both verbal and non-verbal.
• Ability to write clear and descriptive reports in English.
