Turbomachinery Development Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design, test and qualify the next generation of compressor and turbine aerodynamics for integration in the CV portfolio, using state-of-the-art analytical (CFD/FEA) and experimental (Test Rigs) tools.
• Close collaboration with the internal engineering customer teams to design robust compressor and turbine stages that will meet the performance, durability, packaging, noise and cost constraints, and be successfully integrated into customer turbocharger product.
• Support the resolution of technical problems and performance challenges by providing aerodynamics and mechanical engineering support to other internal teams (application and/or COEs).
• Collaborate with other team members of the W&A organization to increase innovation while deploying continuous improvement to the team tools and processes.

Requirements

• Master’s degree or higher in the field of Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum 5 years’ experience in turbomachinery design and optimization (compressor and/or turbine design for performance, life, cost, noise).
• Proficiency with turbomachinery design tools – aerodynamic tools.
• Proficiency with High fidelity CFD turbomachine simulation (Ansys, Numeca).
• Proven experience in 3D design packages (CATIA, Onshape, SolidWorks), programming (Matlab or python), and experimental turbomachinery testing (rig concepts, data analysis and post-processing).
• Knowledge of turbine design and expander designs (Aerodynamics and/or mechanical).
• Strong drive to deliver, ability to multitask and to work in multi-cultural and cross-functional teams, with a focus on continuous improvement.
• Ability to grasp technical issues quickly and relate multiple observations to each other.

Qualifications

• Basic Qualifications: Master’s degree or higher in the field of Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering. Minimum 5 years’ experience in turbomachinery design and optimization (compressor and/or turbine design for performance, life, cost, noise).
• Desired Qualifications: Machine learning experience (DNN, auto-optimization). Commercial optimization software experience. Proven Testing and analysis skills, including FEA and CFD post-processing analysis tools. Turbomachine blade erosion (multi-phase turbomachine air+water) and HCF Turbine failure mode experience.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Flexible spending accounts.
• Life/AD&D insurance.
• Short term and Long term disability insurance.
• Hospital indemnity insurance.
• 401 (K) Retirement Plan: Garrett also provides a 401(k) Retirement Plan through Fidelity with pre-tax, post-tax and ROTH contribution options. There may be an annual discretionary match provided by Garrett based on company performance.
• Paid holidays, vacations, and sick days.
