A Turbine Airfoils Heat Transfer Engineer for Casting & Solidification plays a pivotal role in transforming how we design and manufacture complex turbine hardware design. It involves performing detailed thermal analyses covering all three modes of heat transfer i.e. conduction, convection and radiation. A given day could involve engagement in concept generation, doing preliminary heat transfer & fluid dynamics calculations. Other days could see collaboration with interface discipline like CAD modelers to define 3D CFD/CHT simulation model, prepare boundary conditions, discussion with Casting Simulations engineers / Foundry houses, solving high fidelity 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.

You will be collaborating in the development and validation of conventional cast, DS (directionally solidified) process modeling, core breakage prediction, and foundry process modeling capabilities. Working at the intersection of design, simulation, and manufacturing, you will focus on upstream design simulation to embed manufacturability early in the development cycle, significantly reducing defects, lead times, and costs while improving component reliability.

Job requires regular interaction with global teams hence engineer should have persuasive communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge.

Your new role – challenging and future-oriented

• Internal cooling design and heat transfer analysis of Turbine Airfoils and Heat Shields.
• Heat transfer and flow analysis using commercial CFD codes e.g., CFX, Star CCM+.
• Able to understand physics, apply relevant assumptions, interpret and post process results.
• Able to perform basic hand calculations in fluid mechanics (pressure drop) & heat transfer discipline (using non-dimensional correlations)
• Develop new cooling technologies within the constraints of manufacturability, balancing performance, thermal management, and casting feasibility.
• Drive upstream design simulation initiatives that integrate manufacturability directly into the turbine component design process.
• Collaborate closely with design, materials, and manufacturing teams to create and implement new simulation-driven design-for-manufacturing (DFM) workflows.
• Identify and resolve critical casting challenges through innovative modeling techniques, data analysis, and real-world validation.
• Contribute to methodology development that pushes the boundaries of casting simulation accuracy and speed.
• Be a point of contact, speaking partner and provide expertise regarding hot gas path heat transfer related topics in a project.
• Collaborating with project leads in understanding the project requirements, finding solutions to design challenges, and delivering results within agreed timeline & quality.
• A fraction of time will be dedicated to advancing the technical expertise of other team members and mentoring.

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 3-4 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 under steady state, transient heat transfer (involving all modes i.e. conduction, convection and radiation) and multi-phase CFD/CHT simulations. (minimum 3 years of experience).
• Understanding of Investment Casting & Solidification physics and experience of running casting simulations using ProCAST and experience of having foundry knowledge would be an advantage. (minimum 3 years of experience).
• Good working knowledge of NX (Uni-graphics) or other similar solid modeling CAD software. (minimum 3 years of experience).
• Good knowledge of Design for Manufacturability (DFM) for gas turbine airfoils.
• Basic knowledge of Finite element analysis & ability to review the results. Good Familiarity with FE codes like ANSYS or general-purpose FEA tool.
• Basic knowledge of Turbomachinery Aerodynamics, Mechanical Integrity (Fatigue, Creep, Fracture).
• Exposure to SAP and Teamcenter PLM.
• Programming skills like Python and NX Open.
• A balance between scientific rigor and engineering judgement.
• An attitude of curiosity, perseverance in the face of uncertainty, and a desire for engineering excellence as well as patience.

Personality:

•            Strong interpersonal skills i.e., collaborator, quick learner, energetic, imaginative, innovative, ability to adapt quickly & effectively etc.

•            Self-driven in work tasks with a willingness to learn and try new methods to solve a problem.

•            Align with Organization Purpose, Values & Behavior & adhere to business compliance guidelines.

•            Willing to collaborate & work with colleagues located in multiple time zones (Europe & the US).

•            Effective communicator both verbal and non-verbal.

•            Ability to write clear and descriptive reports in English.

This is a rare opportunity to work on high-visibility, high-impact programs where your technical contributions will directly influence turbine performance, production efficiency, and long-term competitiveness. You will have the autonomy to innovate, the resources to validate your methods, and the chance to see your work move from simulation to actual hardware in some of the most advanced gas turbines in the world. If you are passionate about simulation, manufacturability, and solving complex engineering problems that matter, this is the role where you can make a lasting technical impact.
