Turbomachinery Structural Analyst

Job Overview

As a Structural & Thermal Analyst specializing in Turbomachinery, you will be responsible for conducting detailed analyses to guide component design, evaluate mechanical performance, and assess temperature distributions in high-speed systems.

Responsibilities

• Perform structural and thermal analyses of turbomachinery components
• Evaluate static/dynamic mechanical performance and thermal stresses
• Conduct fatigue, durability, and rotor-bearing analyses
• Assess airflow, heat transfer, and temperature distributions
• Troubleshoot complex mechanical-thermal-rotor interactions
• Collaborate with design, build, and test teams

Requirements & Qualifications

• B.S. in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Structural Engineering
• 3–5 years of structural/thermal/turbomachinery analysis experience
• Strong foundation in classical mechanics, stress analysis, and heat transfer
• Hands-on experience with finite element analysis (ANSYS, Abaqus, or equivalents)
• Experience with rotor dynamics or high-speed bearing design
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and documentation skills
