Aerothermal Local Specialist - Core

About the role

The Engineering Technology & Safety Aerothermal teams are responsible for the aerothermal design and validation of modules in the gas turbine main flow-path, including Intake, Fan, Compressor, Combustor, Turbine, After-Burner, and Exhaust systems. These teams specify gas-washed surfaces and commit to sub-system performance levels.

Responsibilities

• Design, analyze, and simulate various gas turbine system components and subsystems using a variety of methodologies, including meanline, throughflow, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
• Work with performance organization and system level design to define, understand, and interpret sub-system requirements and issue sub-system performance maps and bids.
• Interface with aeromechanics, heat transfer, and mechanical design to understand and account for impact on aerodynamic design.
• Plan, execute, and oversee component and sub-system “rig” tests for product development and/or technology development, including data reduction and processing as well as detailed post-test analysis.
• Assemble, interpret, and report a combination of CFD simulations, experimental results, and first principle analyses into a cohesive understanding of component and sub-system capabilities as measured against requirements.
• Support the wider aerodynamics disciplines, both locally and globally, with capability acquisition via methods and coding, technology plans, and collaborating in the community of practice.
• Practice continuous improvement principles by using and updating best practices, process automation, and eliminating wasteful process steps.
• Act as a mentor, providing direction and guidance to other aerothermal engineers.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics or mathematics and 5+ years of experience in the aero industry OR
• Master's Degree in a quality, engineering discipline or business management and 3+ years experience in the aero industry OR
• JD/PhD

Preferred Requirements

• Proficient with aerodynamics, turbomachinery, airfoil design, and computation fluiddynamics (CFD)
• C competent with gas turbine engine architecture, thermodynamics, and heat transfer
• Previous experience in component aerodynamic design
• Communicates aerothermal concepts clearly and succinctly with appropriate technical depth to variety of audiences
• Works well in a collaborative, multidisciplinary, product focused team
• Has a wide awareness of engineering issues & requirement
