Heat Transfer Service Design and Analysis Engineer

A Snapshot of Your Day

In a fast-paced engineering environment, you blend independent problem-solving with global collaboration to keep our Large Gas Turbine fleet reliable. You analyze teardown and inspection findings, trend operating data, and assess component life using Heat Transfer analysis, then translate insights into corrective and preventive actions. You calibrate and validate methods by correlating model predictions with field measurements, refine inspection standards and technical dispositions, and present recommendations to customers, management and technical experts. You contribute to design modifications of hot-gas-path components, apply CHT analysis to advance thermal design, and investigate thermal damage mechanisms (e.g., oxidation, coating distress) to determine remaining life and risk. You script and automate workflows and act as a bridge between technology development, design, repair, quality, and service-continuously learning and innovating.

How You'll Make an Impact

• Contribute to design modifications of turbine hot gas path components, providing critical thermal analyses, evaluations and designs achieving innovative performance in terms of efficiency, component life, robustness, and manufacturability.
• Validation of analysis methods and models against fleet experience and measurement data from customer engines
• Contribute specifically to the advancement of Conjugate Heat Transfer 3D thermal design methodology through application to components required for new engines, upgrades, and technical issues
• Support ongoing inspections with analysis for thermal damage mechanisms such as coating spallation and oxidation to determine the remaining useful life and potential risk scenarios for turbine blades and vanes
• Act as an interface between technology development, design groups and service engineering.
• In addition you are welcome to take over additional analysis tasks, such as FEA or CFD assessments.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical, aerospace, or materials engineering, with a focus on thermo-fluid science. Master's degree or equivalent experience is a plus!
• 3+Industrial and practical experience with turbo-machinery, turbine hot gas path component thermal design, fluid systems, or similar applications.
• Proficient in heat transfer subject area fundamentals. Computational and programming skills proficiency (e.g. APDL, python) are a plus.
• experience ideally with Conjugate Heat Transfer and conventional correlation based heat transfer analysis. CAD skills are beneficial.
• Experience with FEA or CFD software strengthens your profile
• Comfortable in a global and dynamic work environment. Highly motivated, proactive, self-directed, and innovative with excellent interpersonal skills and strong communication.
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
