A Snapshot of Your DayWe 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 BringBasic Qualifications- 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.
- Strong foundation in one or more of the following:
- 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.
Preferred Qualifications
- 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.
