Turbine Engineer – Aerodynamic Turbine Designer

A Snapshot of Your Day

As a aerodynamic turbine designer, you are responsible for the design and optimization of our turbine airfoils to maximize turbine performance. 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 closely collaborate 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.

• Design and analysis of flowpath and airfoils of axial turbines using 1D, 2D and 3D approaches.

• Turbine component design: 3D flow analysis and aerodynamic optimization of airfoils. Engage in inter-disciplinary teams for multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization of turbine components.

• Development and implementation of aerodynamic design tools and methods

• Assessment and evaluation of test and field measurements

• Lead of external and internal research and development programs including management of outsourcing specific tasks.

• Ability to drive a team through tough technical challenges.

• Support of manufacturing and component development

• University degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or similar. Several years of experience in turbine aerodynamic design and analysis, with a strong background in thermodynamics or fluid mechanics.

• Significant design/analysis experience with components for turbo-machinery applications or similar applications.

• Advanced knowledge of computational methods, i.e. numerical and optimization methods and coding experience with e.g. python to automize your workflows and process your data.

• Experience with CAD tools (NX), aeromechanics or conjugated heat transfer simulations is a bonus, but not a must.

• Must have exceptional inter-personal skills and enjoy working with colleagues from different organizations and cultural background. Must be highly motivated, detail-oriented and have an innovative thinking mindset.

• Business fluent in English (German would be beneficial)

• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
