The Leonardo DRS Naval Power Systems business is a trusted provider of innovative naval gas and hybrid power systems, control technology and support solutions for the U.S. Navy and navies around the world.

Job Summary

Serve as the subject matter expert for aerodynamic design of the flow paths for steam turbines. Influence the shaping of nozzle partitions and blade (bucket) profiles to enable optimal, stable flow.

Job Responsibilities

Provide direct contributor work for the aerodynamic design considerations inclusive of:

+ Nozzles and bucket cascades

+ 3D optimized latter stages buckets with high degrees of reaction

+ Exhaust plenums

+ Valves/Inlet flow passages

+ Seals and Packing Leakage

Balance the optimal aerodynamic design with other working disciplines:

+ Compromise between aero performance and mechanical engineering’s requirements informed by stress analysis

+ Compromise between aero performance and acoustic engineer’s constraints

Qualifications

Priority Skills, Experience, & Knowledge

+ Bachelor’s degree in engineering or related technical field with a minimum of 5 years of experience

+ Experience in the design of flow paths of turbines or turbo machinery for compressible fluid flow in turbo machinery, preferably turbines.

+ Experience with nozzle and blade profile design

+ Experience with twisted, tapered 3-d profile design

+ Experience with overall steam path shaping

+ Expertise in compressible fluid flow analysis and lumped parameter/bulk flow models (potential flow solutions).

Proficiency in commercial RANS CFD software such as:

+ Ansys: Blade Modeler, Turbo Grid, CFX

+ Ansys Fluent

Secondary Skills, Experience, and Aptitude to Grow

+ Ability to execute CFD analysis for other compressible fluid flow applications (e.g., cooling air within generators, motors, and other rotating machinery and power electronic cabinets).

+ Experience with Ansys Fluent Suite

+ Experience with parameterized models to conduct aero/mechanical trade studies efficiently.

+ Exposure to Navy Nuclear applications / defense industry product lines.
