Energy, Siemens Limited India is seeking a responsible, professional, and self-motivated individual to join the Gas Turbine R&D, Gurgaon as 'Gas Turbine - Combustion Heat Transfer Engineer(Experienced)

This position provides an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced, dynamic, global product development & service environment.

oriented :

A combustion heat transfer engineer designs, analyzes and implements the thermal design of gas turbine combustor components such as liners, transitions, nozzles or burners. A given day could involve engagement in concept generation, heat transfer & fluid dynamics calculations using 1D / 2D in-house tools and hand calculations. Other days could see collaboration with interface discipline like CAD modelers to define 3D CFD / CHT model, prepare boundary conditions, solving CFD / CHT calculations, debugging and reviewing the results. 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. In addition to this, the engineer needs to support developmental and testing aspects (post final design review) for validation of the product. Job requires regular interaction with global teams hence engineer should have persuasive communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge. Some amount of travel within India and outside may also be involved.

• Cooling design and analysis of gas turbine combustor parts.
• Thermal & flow modelling using network approach with pressure loss and heat transfer correlations. Able to understand physics, apply relevant assumptions, interpret results & perform basic hand calculations in fluid mechanics & heat transfer discipline.
• Heat transfer and flow analysis using inhouse & commercial 1D,2D,3D-CFD tool such as Star CCM+.
• 3D Heat transfer analysis using FEA tools such as ANSYS and flow analysis using coupled 1D fluid element such as FLUID116 in case of ANSYS.
• Able to apply boundary conditions to a FE solver for the calculations of material temperature.
• Able to understand the product function, design requirements and design guidelines.
• Able to prepare highly effective and crisp PowerPoint presentations for day-to-day working meetings as well as detailed design reports for final reviews.
• Be a point of contact, speaking partner and provide expertise regarding hot gas path heat transfer related topics in a project.
• Collaborate with project lead in understanding the project requirements, find solutions to design challenges, and deliver results within agreed timeline & quality.
• A fraction of time will be dedicated to advancing the technical expertise of other team members and mentoring.
• Opportunity exists to publish technical reports in journals and conferences.
• We don't need superheroes, just super minds :
• Mechanical engineer with an MTech in Mechanical engineering (major in - Fluid & Thermal Science) and demonstrated expertise in the field of heat transfer and fluid mechanics.
• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in thermal analysis and design of cooled gas turbine components.
• Ability to generate 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.
• Basic knowledge of Finite element analysis & ability to review the results. Good Familiarity with FE codes like ANSYS or general-purpose FEA tool.
• Align with Organization Purpose, Values & behaviour & adhere to business compliance guidelines.
• Ability to write clear and descriptive reports in English.
