Aerodynamic Engineer F/H (2025-139167)

Description of the offer

Role
The aerodynamic engineer is responsible to carry out aerodynamic assessment to develop or improve the design of Nuclear Products, within the Aerodynamics Team
Main Duties
·      Technical work to develop and generate Aerodynamic designs
o   For new steam turbine blading
o   For continuous performance improvement of existing turbine blading
o   For other products (diffuser, valves, steam ejectors, …)
o   introducing new design processes
·      Provide professional technical engineering services for:
o   Steam Turbines products (including Nuclear, and Service/Retrofit applications) and technology development (R&D)
o   The execution of projects or work packages for Steam Turbines or other Arabelle Solution businesses/activities
o   Projects or work packages for external customers
·      Understand and use the internal procedures and processes (Engineering Process, Quality, etc.):
o  Provide feedback and undertake actions for process improvements.
o  Maintain Design- and Work Instructions
o  Support the organisation to develop and maintain a know-how and know-why culture and support the development of your colleagues.
·      Balance priorities and tasks according to the business priorities as set by the management.
·      Monitor opportunities and risks.
·      As required by the Team Manager, provide support to:
o   Collaborations with universities or research institutes
o   Definition of the technical content and planning design tasks requested by the R&D project managers
·      Generate new ideas.
·      Promote the interests and image of the company at all times
·      Behave according to Arabelle Solutions Code of Ethics and Values.

Responsibilities
·       To satisfy performance and mechanical integrity criteria whilst generating aerodynamic integral airfoil designs within the in-house tools suite you:
o   Design blade profile sections and define its radial stacking
o   Improve profile performance based on a blade to blade streamline method
o   Assess mechanical integrity (mean stresses, peak stresses and frequencies) based on integrated lean methods
·       You stay in continuous exchange and interface to the Mechanical-, the Design- and the thermodynamic-department
·      Apply 3D-CFD methods (ANSYS-CFX, Cadence-Numeca) to assess the multistage turbine performance characteristic and provide input for cycle performance prediction
·      For the diffusor and exhaust at the exit of the low pressure turbine you:
o   Generate aerodynamic diffuser designs
o   Generate CFD meshes (ICEM, AUTOGRID, ANSYS-Mesh) for complex blade (shrouds, mid span connectors) and full exhaust geometries
o   Run 3D RANS CFD to predict the exhaust recovery characteristic
·      You are responsible for the technical quality of your work[NL1] 
·      Continuously develop your own technical expertise.
·      You may be asked to act as a reviewer (e.g. at a design, risk or project review) in your area of expertise.
