Blade Designer – Jet & Cryogenic Engines

Scope of Work

We are looking for a highly skilled Blade Designer to contribute to the aerodynamic and structural design of turbomachinery blades used in high-performance combat jet engines and cryogenic rocket engines. Your primary responsibility will be to design compressor and turbine blades that achieve maximum efficiency, mechanical robustness, and manufacturability within mission-specific constraints.

Nature of Work

• 3D blade profile creation using CAD tools (Siemens NX, CATIA V5, etc.)
• Design of single and multi-stage axial flow blades for compressors and turbines
• Aerodynamic profiling using CFD tools (ANSYS CFX, Fluent)
• Thermal and stress analysis (steady-state and transient)
• Involvement in additive manufacturing strategies for blade prototyping
• Interface with materials engineers, CFD analysts, and thermal experts
• Optimization of blade shapes using genetic algorithms or machine learning (optional)

Job Requirements

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Turbomachinery Engineering
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in blade design for jet engines, steam turbines, or cryogenic pumps (freshers with research experience may also apply)
• Proficiency in one or more CAD tools: NX, CATIA, SolidWorks
• Experience with CFD tools like ANSYS, NUMECA, or OpenFOAM
• Knowledge of fatigue, creep, and high-temperature material behavior in turbine environments
• Familiarity with blade cooling technologies and flow path optimization
• Good understanding of blade manufacturing techniques (casting, forging, machining, or 3D printing)
• Excellent documentation and communication skills

Eligibility

• Indian nationals or those eligible to work in India
• Passion for aerospace innovation and indigenous development
• Research scholars with published work in turbomachinery design are encouraged to apply
