Aerodynamic design expert for steam turbines at Leonardo DRS. Handling flow paths, nozzle shaping, and cross-disciplinary engineering challenges.
Responsibilities
Serve as the subject matter expert for aerodynamic design of the flow paths for steam turbines.
Influence the shaping of nozzle partitions and blade (bucket) profiles to enable optimal, stable flow.
Provide direct contributor work for the aerodynamic design considerations inclusive of: Nozzles and bucket cascades 3D optimized latter stages buckets with high degrees of reaction Exhaust plenums Valves/Inlet flow passages Seals and Packing Leakage
Balance the optimal aerodynamic design with other working disciplines: Compromise between aero performance and mechanical engineering’s requirements informed by stress analysis Compromise between aero performance and acoustic engineer’s constraints
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field with a minimum of 5 years of experience
