This Aerodynamics Engineer will join our Applied Compression Network of Excellence (NoE). At Trane Technologies our Networks of Excellence are teams that develop advanced concepts and products through application of leading technologies in the HVAC sector.

The Performance & Prediction Group performs the aerodynamic design of centrifugal compressors for refrigeration products. The qualified individual will perform centrifugal compressor aerodynamic design and analysis. Duties include the development and application of advanced analytical tools use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with laboratory testing and data analysis to achieve optimum performance reliability manufacturability and reduced sound levels.

Core Job Responsibilities:

• Application of tools to design new or improved compressors or aerodynamic flow path components for refrigeration applications with consideration for manufacturing processes.
• Test plan creation instrumentation specification and review of experimental test data against predictive design tools outcomes.
• Modification of models or process to reflect new learnings (closing the design loop).
• Continued development of grid generation processes (commercial or internal) and CFD pre- and post-processing tools to facilitate modeling integration into our centrifugal compressor design system to improve component performance.
• Effectively meet the needs of internal and external customers through documenting reviewing and prioritizing customer requirements.
• Support the development of Design Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (DFMEAs).
• Ability to travel both domestically and abroad up toone week at a time. Able to attain necessary visa for travel when applicable. Expected travel time 10%.
• undefinedMinimum Qualifications:BS Degree in Aerospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a directly related engineering discipline and 5 years of experience in engineering OR an MS Degree in Aerospace Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a directly related engineering discipline.Key Competencies:Theory: Applicant must have strong background in thermodynamics fluid dynamics and CFD. Courses and design experience in centrifugal turbomachinery preferred with some knowledge of refrigeration cycles. Experience with two-phase flow modeling and/or phase change modeling is preferred. Software: Applicant must have programming background and some working knowledge of AutoCAD or Pro-E. Experience with meanline inviscid and optimization design tools is preferred. Basic skill in Excel Word PowerPoint with preferred programming capability in Python or C . Adaptable to running on both Windows and LINUX Operating Systems. Practical: Applicant must have some CFD background and become proficient with ANSYS CFX or Cadence FineTurbo including the coding of macros to automate CFD. Applicant must have grid generation capabilities and develop a working knowledge within ANSYS Workbench or Cadence Fidelity for fluids applications. Emphasis will be on centrifugal compressor component DESIGN. Must have good verbal communications skills and good technical writing documentation and presentationskills.
