Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Engineer

About the role

We are looking for a passionate engineer with a solid background in Gas Turbine combustion to join the LGT Combustion Module (MOD CB) team as an aero designer for all combustion system developments including hydrogen and special fuels developments. As a part of the multinational and multidisciplinary team, you would interface with team members globally for various interdisciplinary topics like mechanical design, thermo-acoustics. You would conceptualize aero design of combustion systems and also help in validation of the same.

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute the development of combustion aero concepts from preliminary and detailed designs.
• Execute analyses to down-select new design solutions, to understand the impact of different design solutions on the fuel air mixing, emissions, performance, and dynamics.
• Contribute to develop as well as execute the combustion aero technology roadmap in support to the advanced combustion systems, including the adoption of alternative fuels (i.e., H2).
• Communicate results, findings, and observations in a clear and concise manner to peers, IPT Leads and combustion management.
• Provide feedback to improve/align current Design philosophies to TFP/Part owner.
• Contribute to project design reviews and status reviews.
• Coordinate university research programs in the areas of CFD, experimental testing and/or thermoacoustic.
• Work with local and global teams for PD and CFD scopes.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or more in mechanical engineering or related field.
• Minimum 0–5 years of experience in the job; higher degree can be used in lieu of experience.
• Experience on STAR-CCM+ is a must.
• Understanding of different computational methods applied in combustion simulations, realizing and selecting the method and software depending on the project’s timeline.
• Experience with engine performance (efficiency, emission, etc.) as well as details of combustion behavior (physical and numerical turbulent properties, un-mixedness, temperature fluctuations, flashback propensity).
• Advanced combustion simulation methods, software and coding skills to be able to write customized post processing software suites.
• Product definition skills: Creation of NX models for analysis.

Pay

$30.00–$42.00 /hr. Compensation decisions are made based on factors including experience, skills, education, and other job-related factors, in accordance with our internal pay structure.
