Work with the latest innovations

You will be collaborating with the CFD and Ventilation Systems team within the Baker Hughes Gas Turbines Systems Integration organization. You will start from project or program requirements apply diverse and robust start-of-the-art fluid computational models and perform detailed analyses of gas turbine enclosures ventilation systems preparing the reports and communicating outcomes to the Team and Customer. You will drive innovation process for CFD domain scouting new technologies and validating alternative techniques also supporting Baker Hughes effort in Energy Transition by applying CFD methods to unconventional applications. You will ensure compliance to International Standards and internal policies for safety of gas turbines enclosures ventilation systems driving robust engineering practices and leading the way for future improvements. You will perform design activities for ventilation equipment and relevant supporting structures selecting main items and using structural verification tools to evaluate overall system behavior.

As Gas Turbine Ventilation Systems & CFD Engineer you will be responsible for:

• Carrying out CFD analyses of gas turbines ventilated enclosures starting from domain meshing to boundary conditions definition and results post-processing
• Critically assessing CFD simulation results to ensure compliance of the overall system performance to International Standards designing practices procedures safety regulations and product/project requirements
• Cooperating with project and program team members driving design choices related to ventilation system main equipment (e.g. ventilation fans) structures and instrumentation
• Developing the analysis report and documentation in accordance with the project schedule providing timely communications on significant issues or developments
• Documenting reporting and reviewing results within team and with chief/principal engineers.
• Scout innovative CFD techniques and methods applicable to gas turbine enclosures ventilation systems performing validation tests and defining suitability based on the application
• Supporting Energy Transition efforts by applying CFD and mono-dimensional fluid systems simulations for unconventional applications including hydrogen gas leak and complex ventilation networks steady state and transient models
• Support design activities for ventilation systems equipment selecting main items and using fluid networks simulation tools to evaluate overall performances
• Perform mechanical verifications of ventilation systems supporting structures using main international codes (ASCE AISC Eurocodes) and computational tools (e.g. SAP2000)

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:
