Combustion & Thermal Systems Engineer

We're Hiring : Combustion & Thermal Systems Engineer

Gurgaon | Full-Time | Core Team

LAT Aerospace | Gas Turbine Engines

At LAT Aerospace, we're building India's first clean-sheet hybrid-electric STOL aircraft and a

next-generation family of gas-turbine engines. We're looking for an engineer who can take

ownership of combustor design, reacting-flow analysis, and thermal behaviour across the

hot-section : covering design, CFD, rig testing, and performance evaluation.

What you'll do

• Combustor Architecture & Flow Design – Develop combustor layouts, define swirler / injector concepts, and shape primary, secondary, and dilution zones.
• Reacting-Flow CFD – Run and interpret steady / reacting CFD to predict flame structure, mixing, pressure loss, temperature fields, and combustor exit profiles.
• Thermal Profiling & Pattern Factor Control – Analyse combustor exit temperature distributions, tune pattern factor , and ensure turbine inlet conditions meet performance and life requirements.
• Metal Temperature & Heat-Load Assessment – Estimate metal temperatures using heat transfer correlations, flow distributions, and material limits in collaboration with turbine and materials teams.
• Experimental Testing – Conduct combustor and flame-tube tests, oversee instrumentation, analyse data, and correlate test results with CFD / analytical predictions.
