Job Summary:

We are seeking an innovative R&D Engineer specializing in Steam Turbine Blade Aerodynamics to join our turbine technology research and development team. This role focuses on designing and optimizing blade airfoil shapes and flow paths to enhance steam turbine efficiency, reliability, and performance under real-world operating conditions. You will be at the forefront of developing the next generation of high-performance, low-emission steam turbines.

What will be my responsibilities?

Design and optimize blade airfoils and steam turbine flow paths to maximize aerodynamic efficiency and minimize losses. Perform CFD simulations (steady / unsteady, 2D/3D) to evaluate flow characteristics, including boundary layer interactions, secondary flows, tip leakages and wet steam behavior. Develop and implement advanced aerodynamic features such as 3D blading, endwall contouring and shrouding for performance improvement. Collaborate with cross-functional team to ensure aero-structural integration, manufacturability and thermal performance alignment. Correlate CFD predictions with experimental data from cascade tests, turbine rigs, or field measurements. Document research findings in technical reports, presentations, and support intellectual property generation (patents, papers).

What do I need to qualify for this job?

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related discipline. (preferable from Govt. Engineering College) 5-10 years of experience in Steam Turbine Blade Design or Turbomachinery Aerodynamics. Proficiency in CFD Tools such as ANSYS CFX / Fluent, Star-CCM+, etc. Strong understanding of turbomachinery flow physics: blade loading, boundary layers, shocks, secondary flows. PhD in turbomachinery aerodynamics will have added advantage. Knowledge of blade manufacturing constraints and design-for-manufacturing principles.

Why Join Us

Be part of a cutting-edge R&D team shaping the future of high-efficiency, low-emission steam turbines. Work with state-of-the-art CFD tools, turbine test rigs and a global network of experts. Contribute to innovation in Energy Transition, Industrial Decarbonization and Thermal Efficiency. Grow in a company that values Technical Excellence, Collaboration and Research Leadership.
