Your new role – challenging and future-oriented:

Energy, Siemens Limited India is seeking a responsible, professional, and self-motivated individual to join the Gas Turbine R&D, Gurgaon (India) as “Gas Turbine Heat Transfer Engineer”. This position provides an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, global product development & service environment.

The heat transfer engineer is responsible for the thermal design and prediction of component material temperatures, for components, operating in the hot gas flow path of Turbine section, such as Blades, Vanes/Nozzles, Heat Shields, but also Casing & Rotor components. The tasks range from design & analysis of new components, upgrade of existing components, prediction of component performance under new boundary conditions towards customer support and resolving non-conformance reports from manufacturing. We use various inhouse & commercial 1D,2D,3D & CFD tools to design & perform thermal analysis on these components.

In the project work, we often work in close collaboration with cross functional teams located locally & globally. You are taking responsibility for your own work within the project and must have an understanding about the adjacent disciplines work, as well as, for the gas turbine as a system and your component’s function within the system.

The tasks can include coming up with conceptual design, failure mode evaluation, detailed thermal analysis, report writing and defending key technical reviews. Deep knowledge of heat transfer & fluid mechanics fundamentals, thermal analyses and manufacturing process requirements are essential. In addition to this, engineer needs to support developmental and testing aspects (post final design review) for validation of the product. It is expected to provide technical advice about the suitability of developed design and its application across multiple gas turbine frames. Job requires regular interaction with global teams hence engineer should have persuasive communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge.

Responsibilities:-

• Heat transfer and cooling design and analysis of gas turbine parts (rotating or stationary or system).
• Heat transfer and flow analysis using inhouse & commercial 1D,2D,3D & CFD codes e.g., CFX, Star CCM+. Able to understand the physics, apply relevant assumptions, interpret results & perform basic hand calculations in fluid mechanics & heat transfer discipline.
• Thermal modelling using flow network approach with pressure loss and heat transfer correlations. Able to apply boundary conditions to a FE solver (NX- Sim center/ NASTRAN, ANSYS, ABAQUS) for the calculations of material temperature.
• Able to understand the product function, design requirements and design principles.
• Be a point of contact, speaking partner and provide expertise regarding hot gas path heat transfer related topics in a project.
• Work with project lead to understand the project requirements, find solutions to design challenges, and deliver results within agreed timeline & quality.

We don’t need superheroes, just super minds:

• Mechanical engineer with an MTech in Mechanical engineering (major- Fluid & Thermal Science) with a focus on fluid mechanics, heat transfer & thermodynamics.
• Minimum 6 years of relevant experience in thermal analysis and design of cooled gas turbine components.
• Experience in utilizing heat transfer and cooling design engineering skills to analyze technical requirements and applying appropriate skill set to design hot gas path, Casing & Rotor turbine components.
• Ability to analyze/create thermal boundary conditions and perform Flow & Heat Transfer engineering calculations both for analytical, flow network, correlation based, and CFD & Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) based tasks.
• Finite element analysis & ability to review the results. Good Familiarity with FE codes like ANSYS or general-purpose FEA tool.
• Heat Transfer-design fundamentals & problem-solving skills (Gas Turbine Component, System level)
• Basic understanding of Mechanical integrity (Strength, Fatigue, Creep, Fracture) Turbomachinery Aerodynamics, and manufacturing aspects for gas turbine blading.
• Experience using Pro / E, NX (Uni-graphics) or other similar solid modeling CAD software for visualization of cooling channel/scheme lay out of components or engine assembly is a merit.
• Experience in Providing technical support to other functional areas is a merit.
• Exposure to SAP and Teamcenter PLM is a merit.
• Programming skills like Python, NX Open

Personality

• Strong interpersonal skill i.e., energetic, collaborator, quick learner, imaginative, innovative, ability to adapt quickly & effectively.
• Align with Organization Purpose, Values & Behavior & adhere to business compliance guidelines.
• Self-driven in work tasks with a willingness to learn, try & propose new methods to solve a problem.
• Effective verbal and non -verbal communication.
• Ability to write clear and descriptive reports in English.
