Job Description
Combustion Aerodynamics Engineer
Location: Cincinatti, OHÂ
Engagement Type: Permanent Role Target Compensation: [Highly competitive salary + comprehensive benefits]
Here’s what you’ll be doing:
- Supporting Core Energy Conversion Unit Development: Providing expertise for the development, integration, and validation of the primary energy conversion subsystem within advanced power generation units. This pivotal position involves executing product designs utilizing robust engineering principles and adhering to organizational standards, practices, procedures, and program requirements. This work may include aerodynamic, mechanical, and/or electrical engineering aspects for all relevant products.
- Aerodynamic Design Authority: Holding ownership and design authority for the combustion and oxidation system, encompassing aspects such as airflow dynamics, fuel/air mixing, thermal energy management, emissions profile, and overall performance.
- Laboratory Operations Oversight: Designing and overseeing the operation of laboratory facilities dedicated to combustion aerodynamics system development and validation.
- Regulatory Compliance: Overseeing compliance with relevant emissions regulations and certification processes as required by local, national, and international standards.
- Hardware System Support: Providing support for hardware components, sub-systems, and/or the entire power unit system across all dimensions, including functionality, durability, manufacturability, serviceability, cost efficiency, mass optimization, and validation.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partnering with design, electrical, software, and performance analysis teams to establish requirements and generate robust designs.
- Technical Reporting & Decision-Making: Preparing comprehensive technical reports and conducting technical reviews to present findings and propose solutions for identified conflicts. Managing trade-off discussions and critical engineering decisions.
- Prototype Development & Validation: Supporting and leading efforts to build, test, and validate prototypes to efficiently identify and resolve design flaws.
- Design Quality Assurance: Supporting the design checking process by reviewing technical drawings and ensuring tolerances, manufacturing processes, and material specifications align with internal product design guidelines.
- External Partner Engagement: Supporting the identification and selection of external partners to fulfill prototype and production needs. Assisting in the procurement of hardware from key partners as necessary.
Here’s what our ideal candidate has:
- Extensive Engineering Experience: A minimum of 10 years of work experience in an engineering field.
- Specialized Industry Experience: At least 5 years in the aerospace, power-generation, or industrial heating industries.
- Regulatory Interaction: Experience collaborating with regulatory bodies to plan and conduct certification testing and submit reports, with a specific focus on emissions data reporting conventions and standards.
- Combustion System Development Expertise: Extensive experience in combustion system development, particularly with a focus on continuous-flow combustion architectures (e.g., those found in gas turbines).
- Aero-Combustion System Design: Ability to design and troubleshoot complex aerodynamic and combustion systems.
- Emissions Testing Proficiency: Significant experience in emissions testing for combustion system development, with a focus on using gas analyzers for standard combustion product species.
- Laboratory Instrumentation Skills: Strong background in laboratory testing environments, including installing, calibrating, and interpreting data from various forms of instrumentation for chemical species, pressure, temperature, and flow.
- Computational Chemistry: Experience with reactor flow network modeling tools (e.g., those for chemical kinetics) to apply finite-rate chemistry models and complement experimentally obtained data.
- Combustion Analysis Modeling: Fluency in applying combustion analysis models (e.g., equilibrium chemistry solvers).
- Fluid/Thermal System Design: Experience in fluid and thermal systems design and optimization.
- Collaborative Mindset: A highly collaborative personality with a willingness to learn and adapt, involving interaction with adjacent functions to solve complex issues.
- Effective Communication: Ability to communicate effectively and positively, both verbally and in writing, with internal and external stakeholders to address their needs promptly and follow through on commitments.
- Self-Starter & Problem-Solver: A self-starter with strong problem-solving and communication skills, excellent numerical aptitude, and spatial awareness.
- 3D Design & Simulation Tools: Experience in 3D CAD tools (e.g., NX) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent or CFX).
- Microsoft Office Suite Competency.
Academic Background:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering.
- An advanced degree in Engineering (Doctoral or Master’s) is preferred.
