Turbine Engineer - Aerodynamic Turbine Designer

Siemens Energy•Orlando, FL

51d

About The Position

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.

Requirements

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.
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.

Nice To Haves

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

Responsibilities

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