Siemens Energy India Limited is seeking a responsible, professional, and self-motivated individual to join the Gas Turbine R&D, Gurgaon as a ‘Hot Gas Path - Turbine Aerodynamics Engineer ‘.  This position provides an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, global product development environment.

Your new role – challenging and future-oriented:

As an aerodynamic turbine designer, you are responsible for the design and optimization of our turbine airfoils & diffusor to maximize turbine performance. The tasks range from design & analysis of new component/airfoil design, upgrade of existing components, prediction of component performance under new boundary conditions towards customer support and resolving non-conformance reports from manufacturing. To do so, you will apply a variety of different tools and 1D, 2D and 3D methods. You will make decisions based on simplified low fidelity approaches if possible or run a 3D CFD or multi-disciplinary optimization to find solutions for complex design tasks, or anything in between. You will be part of a global team and collaborate closely with colleagues from adjacent disciplines i.e. heat transfer, mechanical integrity, and manufacturing to develop a design that is a balanced compromise between project requirements for performance, lifetime and costs.

The tasks can include coming up with conceptual design, failure mode evaluation & root cause analysis, detailed aerodynamics analysis, report writing and defending key technical reviews. Deep knowledge of fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and thermodynamics fundamentals are essential. Basic understanding of Aeroelasticity/Aeromechanics, Heat Transfer and appreciation for the structural integrity field are desirable. In addition to this, aerodynamics engineer needs to support manufacturing support qualification and field-testing aspects, (post final design review) for validation of the product. It is expected to provide technical advice about the suitability of developed design and its application across multiple gas turbine frames. Job requires regular interaction with global teams hence engineer should have persuasive communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge.
