Transformation of Industry
A Snapshot of Your Day
We are looking for a skilled Heat Transfer Engineer to join our Turbo-cracker Technology group in Seattle, WA, and work with the rest of the team to advance the product through development and application. Siemens Energy operates a “Better Together” hybrid working model of typically 3 days in-person attendance per week to ensure effective collaboration with colleagues whilst maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Collaborating with Aerodynamics, Mechanical Design and Mechanical Integrity disciplines to collectively derive component life including duty based living.
- Thermal analysis of turbomachinery components and systems from concept definition through detailed design, focusing first on prototype development and then on future product definition
- Analyzing and adapting turbine blade, vane, and casing cooling design for new products and upgrades.
- Specifying component and turbo-machine test requirements.
- Calibration of thermal models using turbo-machine test data
- Dissemination of information by report and presentation.
- Tool chain integration and other delivery improvement initiatives.
- Producing and maintaining method documents.
- Testing and validation of internal and commercial code upgrades.

- Actively supply to small, focused design teams to support technology and product development project objectives
What You Bring
- Advanced degree (M.S.) in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with significant content of Automotive, Aerospace or Turbomachinery Heat Transfer/cooling/sealing design and minimum 5 years experience.
- Experience in 2D/3D thermal analyses of stationary and rotating turbomachinery components with emphasis on the analysis of expanders and/or turbine hot section.
- Good analytical skills and the ability to perform detailed investigations, with focus on accuracy and timescales. Able to critique and validate own results using 1D methods e.g. hand calculations.
- Thorough understanding of Heat Transfer theory and a keen interest in continuous personal development in the subject. Knowledge of heat transfer in transonic and supersonic flows is a plus.
- Experienced knowledge in the application of commercial FEM and/or CFD analysis for fluid flow and heat transfer e.g. ANSYS or ABAQUS. Experience with Siemens NX/Simcenter 3D plus CFD software e.g. StarCCM, CFX or Fluent is an advantage.
- Experience in product design
- Knowledge of API design standards for compressors, gas turbines, and expanders is a plus
- Technical capability in turbomachinery subject areas (aerodynamic, thermodynamics, dynamics, machine design)
- Able to work both independently and in a multidiscipline team with effective communication and social skills
- Understanding the basics of investment castings manufacture, materials science, secondary air systems, the origins of stress and creep.
- Availability to travel domestically or international as required up to 15%.
- Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
