We are looking for a CFD Engineer to join our Turbo Engineering team in Bangalore. The role involves performing CFD, aerodynamic and heat-transfer analyses to support the design, development and optimization of turbomachinery products. You will work on complex fluid-flow problems involving compressors, turbines and related flow systems, using industry-standard CFD tools to evaluate performance, identify areas for improvement and provide engineering recommendations to the design and RD teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform 1D, 2D and 3D CFD analyses for turbomachinery applications.
- Perform aerodynamic and heat-transfer analyses to support product development and design optimization.
- Work on aerodynamic and flow performance analysis of bladed and non-bladed components.
- Analyze primary and secondary flow paths and identify opportunities to improve efficiency and performance.
- Develop and analyze single-phase and multiphase gas-flow models for complex fluid-dynamics investigations.
- Prepare and simplify complex geometries for CFD analysis.
- Perform CFD meshing and pre-processing activities.
- Set up and execute end-to-end CFD simulations, including:
- Model setup
- Boundary condition definition
- Solution execution
- Solution monitoring
- Result interpretation
- Perform CFD post-processing and analyze simulation results.
- Validate CFD results against aerodynamic and thermal performance requirements.
- Provide engineering recommendations based on simulation results.
- Prepare technical reports and documentation.
- Automate repetitive simulation and analysis activities using Python, Excel VBA or other scripting methods.
- Work closely with local and global RD and cross-functional engineering teams to deliver simulation-driven engineering solutions.
- Ensure projects and analysis activities are completed within defined timelines and quality standards.
Required Skills / Experience (Must-Have)
- 2-6 years of hands-on experience in CFD / turbomachinery aerodynamics.
- Experience in CFD analysis of compressors, turbines or related turbomachinery flow systems.
- Hands-on experience across the complete CFD workflow: Geometry preparation Meshing Pre-processing Simulation setup Solution Post-processing Result interpretation
- Experience with Ansys CFX.
- Experience with NUMECA AutoGrid / FINE Turbo.
- Experience with CFD pre-processing/geometry tools such as:
