10d•$30 - $42•Onsite

About The Position

Quest Global is seeking a passionate engineer with a solid background in Gas Turbine combustion to join the LGT Combustion Module (MOD CB) team as an aero designer for all combustion system developments, including hydrogen and special fuels. As part of a multinational and multidisciplinary team, you will interface with global team members on interdisciplinary topics such as mechanical design and thermo-acoustics. Your role will involve conceptualizing the aero design of combustion systems and assisting in their validation. Quest Global is a company that delivers world-class end-to-end engineering solutions by leveraging deep industry knowledge and digital expertise, solving critical and large-scale challenges across various industries.

Requirements

Master’s degree or more in mechanical engineering or related field
Min. 0-5 years of experience in the job; higher degree can be used in lieu of experience
Experience on STAR-CCM+ is a must
Understanding different computational methods applied in combustion simulations, realizing and selecting the method and software depending on the project’s timeline
Experience with engine performance (efficiency, emission, …) as well as details of combustion behavior (physical and numerical turbulent properties, un-mixedness, temperature fluctuations, flashback propensity)
Advanced combustion simulation methods, software and coding skills to be able to write customized post processing software suites.
Product definition skills: Creation of NX models for analysis.

Responsibilities

Lead and execute the development of combustion aero concepts from preliminary and detailed designs.
Execute analyses to down-select new design solutions, to understand the impact of different design solutions on fuel air mixing, emissions, performance, and dynamics.
Contribute to develop as well as execute the combustion aero technology roadmap in support to the advanced combustion systems, including the adoption of alternative fuels (i.e., H2).
Communicate results, findings, and observations in a clear and concise manner to peers, IPT Leads and combustion management.
Provide feedback to improve/align current Design philosophies to TFP/Part owner.
Contribute to project design reviews and status reviews.
Coordinate university research programs in the areas of CFD, experimental testing and/or thermoacoustic.
Work with local and global teams for PD and CFD scopes.
