Role Overview
The successful candidate will support the aerodynamic design, analysis, and optimization of axial turbine stages for gas turbine and turbojet engines, with a focus on blade and vane aerodynamics, performance, and efficiency across design, analysis, and testing phases.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the design of turbine blades and vanes, including profiles, angles, and stacking
- Perform CFD simulations for turbine cascades and stages, analyzing losses, secondary flows, and heat transfer effects
- Evaluate turbine performance under design and off-design conditions, supporting compressor and combustor matching
- Contribute to rig and engine testing activities, including instrumentation requirements and test data analysis
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical and thermal engineering teams
- Support continuous improvement of aerodynamic tools, methods, and best practices
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering
- 4–7 years of experience in turbomachinery aerodynamic design
- Experience in turbine aerodynamics is preferred
Technical Skills
- Sound understanding of turbine aerodynamics and flow physics
- Proficiency with turbomachinery design tools (e.g., NREC, ADT, AXstream)
- Experience with CFD software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, CFX, NUMECA)
- Familiarity with turbine performance and efficiency parameters
- Basic knowledge of heat transfer and cooling flows is advantageous
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with small gas turbines or turbojet engines
- Exposure to multi-stage turbine design
- Experience in test data analysis
Please note, this role is based in the UAE and requires relocation
