Job summary

Belcan Corporation is seeking an Aeroelasticity Staff Analyst in Brisbane, CA (San Francisco area). The role involves owning blade flutter and forced response analyses for transonic compressor blades and power-turbine blades, with CFD/FEA responsibilities and collaboration with Responsible Engineers.

The candidate will perform unsteady CFD, structural dynamics modeling, and reduced-order analyses, using ANSYS, Python, and MATLAB.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.
• Master's or PhD strongly preferred (PhD typical for the SME).
• 6-8 years of turbomachinery aeromechanics (flutter, forced response, mistuning) for SME.
• 4+ years of aerodynamic CFD or relevant PhD + ~2 years for Analyst.

Responsibilities

• Interface with Responsible Engineers to provide inputs for design and generate predictions for candidate designs.
• Prepare, run, and post-process relevant simulation models including FEA, CFD, and Heat Transfer as applicable.
• Analyze test, qualification, and field data in collaboration with REs to qualify hardware and maintain fleet reliability.
• Drive simplicity into the Parallax analysis stack by developing simplified and reduced-order models.

• Bachelor"s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
• Master"s or PhD strongly preferred (PhD typical for the SME)

Experience

• SME: 6-8 years of turbomachinery aeromechanics (flutter, forced response, mistuning)
• Analyst: 4+ years of aerodynamic CFD; or a relevant PhD plus ~2 years

Skill Requirements

• Unsteady CFD; flutter and forced-response methods; FSI
• Structural dynamics; reduced-order and mistuning models
• ANSYS; Python/Matlab

Responsibilities

• Interface with Responsible Engineers to provide inputs for design, generate predictions for candidate designs, and ensure that REs have a clear understanding of the physical phenomena they are dealing with
• Prepare, run, and post-process relevant simulation models including FEA, CFD, and Heat Transfer as applicable
• Analyze test, qualification, and field data in collaboration with REs to qualify hardware and maintain fleet reliability
• Drive simplicity into the Parallax analysis stack by developing simplified and reduced-order models that conservatively capture physical phenomena at the minimum level of complexity that enables functional hardware
