About the Role
The Aerodynamics Engineer will own the aerodynamic design of both the compressor and turbine stages, from meanline modeling through detailed 3D blade shaping and test correlation. You will directly determine the efficiency, stability, and operating range of the machine.
You will define the flow path architecture, set the stage count, and design the blade profiles that make this turbine produce power. You will run the CFD, interpret the results, and make the calls on when the design is good enough to cut metal. When hardware comes back from the shop, you will instrument it, run it, and close the loop between prediction and measurement.
What We're Looking For
Experience in turbomachinery aerodynamic design, ideally across both compressor and turbine stages. Proficiency with meanline and throughflow tools, 3D CFD (ANSYS CFX, Numeca, or equivalent), and blade parametric design. Familiarity with small gas turbines, turbochargers, or turboshaft engines is strongly preferred.
You understand the tradeoffs between efficiency, surge margin, and manufacturability. You can move fast between conceptual sizing and detailed design without losing rigor. You've seen hardware run and know what CFD gets right and what it gets wrong.
