Thermal Cycle Design Engineer - Steam Turbine R&D

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
