We are looking for a Senior Steam Turbine Aerodynamic Engineer. Act as the lead expert in aerodynamic design for steam turbine flow paths. Guide the development of nozzle shapes and blade (bucket) profiles to promote stable, high-performance flow throughout the turbine system.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES

Take ownership of aerodynamic design elements, including :

Sealing strategies and packing leakage control

Exhaust plenum geometries

Nozzle and blade cascade configurations

Advanced 3D blade designs for later turbine stages with high reaction levels

Valve and inlet flow channel optimization

Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to align aerodynamic objectives with engineering constraints, such as :

Integrating aerodynamic performance within acoustic design limitations

Balancing performance targets with structural requirements based on stress analysis

QUALIFICATIONS

Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related technical discipline

At least 5 years of experience designing flow paths for turbines or similar turbomachinery handling compressible fluids

Ability to obtain a security clearance

Deep understanding of compressible fluid flow, including use of potential flow models and lumped parameter methods

Strong background in nozzle and blade geometry design, including experience with complex 3D twisted and tapered profiles

Proficient in designing the full steam path layout

Skilled in using commercial RANS CFD tools, particularly :

Ansys BladeModeler, TurboGrid, CFX

Ansys Fluent

Exposure to defense sector or Navy Nuclear applications is ideal

Experience building and running parameterized models for aerodynamic and mechanical trade-off studies is ideal

Ability to apply CFD to a range of compressible flow challenges, such as airflow within rotating machines or power electronics enclosures is preferred

Familiarity with Ansys Fluent Suite for thermal and flow analysis is preferred
