Required and preferred rules are kept separate and reflect the wording in the original posting.
About the Role
You will design centrifugal compressors and expansion turbines from machine architecture through released geometry. You will perform aerodynamic and rotordynamic work, integrate magnetic bearings, evaluate stress, test performance maps, and use measured results to improve the design.
Requirements
- Design and test radial or axial turbomachinery
- Develop turbomachinery stages using mean-line analysis and CFD
- Solve rotordynamics problems on physical shafts and bearings
- Make and validate machine architecture decisions
- Interpret test maps and revise designs
- Turbopumps
- gas turbines
- cryogenic turbomachinery
- high-speed motor-driven compressors
- magnetic bearings
- transcritical fluids
- supercritical fluids
- CoolProp
- REFPROP
- vapor-compression machine design
Responsibilities
- Design centrifugal compressor aerodynamics from mean-line analysis through CFD and released geometry
- Define machine architecture including stage count, shaft speed, and diameter
- Design expansion turbines that recover shaft work
- Perform rotordynamics, magnetic-bearing integration, and stress analysis
- Use test-stand performance maps to improve aerodynamic designs
