About the role

  • 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
  • Experience in the design of flow paths of turbines or turbo machinery for compressible fluid flow in turbo machinery, preferably turbines.
  • Experience with nozzle and blade profile design
  • Experience with twisted, tapered 3-d profile design
  • Experience with overall steam path shaping
  • Expertise in compressible fluid flow analysis and lumped parameter/bulk flow models (potential flow solutions).
  • Proficiency in commercial RANS CFD software such as: Ansys: Blade Modeler, Turbo Grid, CFX Ansys Fluent
  • Ability to execute CFD analysis for other compressible fluid flow applications (e.g., cooling air within generators, motors, and other rotating machinery and power electronic cabinets).
  • Experience with Ansys Fluent Suite
  • Experience with parameterized models to conduct aero/mechanical trade studies efficiently.
  • Exposure to Navy Nuclear applications / defense industry product lines.

Benefits

  • comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision)
