Director of Aerodynamics Engineering

Overview

Director of Aerodynamics Engineering Turbo machinery / Gas Turbines / Compressor & Turbine Design Overview Seeking a Director of Aerodynamics to lead the aerodynamic design and performance development of advanced turbo machinery systems. This individual will be responsible for compressor and turbine aerodynamic architecture, flow path design, blade development, CFD analysis, and correlation of analytical predictions with hardware test results.

The ideal candidate combines strong analytical capabilities with hands-on turbo machinery development experience and has successfully taken aerodynamic designs from concept through testing and validation. This role is best suited for someone who has worked in small, fast-moving engineering teams and is comfortable helping build a turbine program from the ground up through prototype development and manufacturing.

• Lead the aerodynamic design and optimization of compressor and turbine stages for advanced gas turbine systems.
• Define flow path architecture, stage loading, blade geometry, and overall aerodynamic performance targets.
• Perform and direct CFD, meanline, and through flow analyses to improve efficiency, stability, and operating range.
• Collaborate with mechanical, combustion, test, and manufacturing teams to transition designs from concept through prototype validation and production readiness.
• Correlate simulation results with hardware test data and establish aerodynamic development processes for future product platforms.

• Extensive experience in turbo machinery aerodynamic design, including both compressor and turbine stages.
• Strong proficiency with meanline analysis, through flow methods, and 3D CFD tools such as ANSYS CFX, Numeca/FINE Turbo, Star-CCM+, Fluent, or similar.
• Experience designing gas turbines, microturbines, turboshaft engines, turbochargers, jet engines, APUs, industrial turbines, or related rotating machinery.
• Demonstrated experience validating aerodynamic designs through prototype testing and correlation of simulation results with hardware data.
• Proven ability to operate in small engineering teams and take technical ownership from concept through manufacturing readiness.

• Experience with small gas turbines, microturbines, distributed power systems, or aerospace propulsion programs.
• Prior experience in a startup, skunk works, or early-stage hardware environment developing products from concept through manufacturing.
• Technical leadership experience guiding multidisciplinary engineering teams and turbine development programs.
