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.
