Job Description:
Location: San Francisco/Hybrid
Department: Structural & Mechanical Engineering
Employment Type: Contractor full-time, convertible to salaried full-time.

Scope & Ownership
Owns combustor dynamics: thermoacoustic instability prediction and mitigation, flame dynamics, and acoustic-flame coupling. May be the same person as the Combustion Systems Engineer for a standout hire.

Minimum Education
* Bachelor"s in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
* Master"s or PhD strongly preferred

Experience
* 6-8 years of combustion dynamics / thermoacoustics in gas turbines, or a relevant PhD plus ~3 years

Skill Requirements
* Thermoacoustics; reacting-flow / LES CFD
* Acoustic-network modeling; combustion-instability mitigation
* Rig diagnostics (dynamic pressure, PLIF, PIV); Python/Matlab

Responsibilities
* Interface with Responsible Engineers to provide inputs for design, generate predictions for candidate designs, and ensure that REs have a clear understanding of the physical phenomena they are dealing with
* Prepare, run, and post-process relevant simulation models including FEA, CFD, and Heat Transfer as applicable
* Analyze test, qualification, and field data in collaboration with REs to qualify hardware and maintain fleet reliability
* Drive simplicity into the Parallax analysis stack by developing simplified and reduced-order models that conservatively capture physical phenomena at the minimum level of complexity that enables functional hardware
