A Snapshot of Your Day
We are looking for a highly skilled Research and Development Engineer to join our team. This role supports systems engineering, aero-thermal loop analysis, SAS, or heat transfer for large gas turbines. The successful candidate will contribute in one of these disciplines by developing advanced software tools and methodologies—leveraging conventional or AI/ML-based technologies—to support turbomachinery design and optimization.
How You’ll Make an Impact
Develop and maintain engineering analysis tools or design software for a selected gas turbine discipline, component, or system.
Create or integrate system models, surrogate models, digital twins, reduced-order models or tools in the candidate’s area of expertise.
Support multi-disciplinary design processes through expertise in systems engineering, aero-thermal loops, secondary-air systems, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, or mechanical integrity.
Apply AI/ML techniques and Large Language Models (LLMs) to streamline engineering workflows and enhance modeling and predictive capabilities.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements, define interfaces, validate models, and ensure tool usability and accuracy.
Document engineering methods and software tools and provide training and support to engineering teams.
What You Bring
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Thermal Sciences, or a related field.
3+ years of experience (or PhD) in gas turbines, aero engines, turbomachinery, propulsion systems, rotating equipment, or advanced thermal-fluid engineering applications.
Gas turbine systems
Aero-thermal analysis
Secondary-air systems (SAS)
Heat transfer
Cooling systems
Thermodynamics
Conjugate heat transfer (CHT)
Thermal management systems
Programming experience in Python and one or more engineering software development environments such as MATLAB, Fortran, Bash, C, C++, or Linux.
Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization.
Export Control Requirement (ECC): Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Experience with CFD, CHT, FEA, flow-network, performance modeling, or multi-physics simulation tools (ANSYS Fluent, CFX, STAR-CCM+, Simcenter, or similar).
Experience with GitLab, software version control, CI/CD, and collaborative software development practices.
Experience developing digital twins, model-based engineering solutions, simulation automation, or engineering analytics platforms.
Knowledge of AI/ML applications in engineering simulations and design optimization.
Experience with cloud computing environments (Azure, AWS) and high-performance computing (HPC).
Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), verification and validation methodologies, and digital engineering practices.
