Job Description

Job summary:

Thermal Cycle Design Engineer

What will be my responsibilities?

  • Design and optimize innovative thermal cycles (e.g., advanced Rankine, supercritical CO2, reheat-regenerative cycles) for next-generation steam turbines.
  • Conduct thermodynamic modeling and simulation using Commercial / Custom R&D tools.
  • Collaborate with Turbomachinery Experts to translate cycle requirements into turbine performance targets.
  • Develop cycle concepts for hybrid systems (e.g., thermal + solar, thermal + hydrogen, thermal + waste heat recovery, geothermal).
  • Support experimental validation of cycle designs through test rigs or pilot-scale facilities.
  • Evaluate thermodynamic and economic feasibility of new design ideas and cycle configurations.
  • Engage as Thermal Lead in R&D programs with interface to mechanical design, materials, and controls teams and evaluate design trade-offs for cycle efficiency vs. cost, operability, component durability & emissions.
  • Prepare technical research reports, publications, and patent documentation where applicable.
  • Keep abreast of developments in clean energy technologies, carbon capture, and next-gen steam cycle applications.

What do I need to qualify for this job?

  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Power Engineering, or Energy Systems. (Preferably from Government Engineering College)
  • 3-8 years of experience in thermal cycle design, preferably in a power generation R&D environment.
  • Proficient in thermodynamic simulation and cycle analysis tools

    This shall be the key assessment point.

  • Solid understanding of steam turbine principles, component behavior, and power plant systems.
  • Knowledge of materials and operational challenges under advanced steam conditions.
  • Strong analytical, documentation, and presentation skills.
  • Experience with

    supercritical or ultra-supercritical steam cycles

    ,

    organic Rankine cycles

    , or

    combined cycle R&D

    shall be advantage.
  • Familiarity with

    energy transition technologies

    (e.g., hydrogen co-firing, CCS, thermal energy storage).
  • Exposure to

    experimental research

    , data acquisition, and prototype evaluation.
  • Track record of technical publications, patents, or conference presentations.

Why Join Us

  • Be part of a

    cutting-edge R&D team

    driving innovation in thermal power.
  • Work on

    clean, efficient, and hybrid thermal cycles

    for the future of sustainable power.
  • Contribute to

    globally impactful projects

    in energy transition and steam turbine innovation.
  • Competitive compensation and career development in a forward-looking engineering environment.
