Fitchburg, United States Leonardo DRS Full time

Job Responsibilities

Act as the subject matter expert for aero-thermo design; provide concepts, design solutions, analysis, and calculations for aerodynamic, fluid dynamic, and thermodynamic properties of the flow paths for steam turbines
Provide direct contributor work for the aerodynamic design considerations of steam turbines including:
Nozzles and bucket cascades;
• 3D optimized latter stages buckets with high degrees of reaction;
• Exhaust plenums;
• Inlet flow passages/valves;
Act as touch point or direct assist to the thermodynamic design considerations given the highly coupled relation between available energy distribution and aero design.
Coordinate with other SMEs on the team to find the optimum balance between aerodynamic design and interrelated working disciplines:
• Compromise between aero performance and mechanical engineering’s requirements informed by stress analysis
• Compromise between aero performance and thermo engineering’s available energy
• Compromise between aero performance and acoustic engineer’s performance constraints
Develop project plans and pre-contract proposals and estimates based on project scope, technical requirements, risks, and customer needs.
Plan and drive execution of the detailed technical work scope to the required quality, schedule, and budget.

Confidently and competently represent DRS in front of customers, including the US Navy.
