Job Summary
Nabhdrishti Aerospace is a deep-tech aerospace company developing indigenous micro gas turbine engines and propulsion systems for aviation and defence applications. We are building complex, high-performance products from the ground up, with a mission to create globally competitive aerospace propulsion technology from India.
As we move from product development and testing towards commercialization, industrialization, and scaling our product line, we are looking for Aerothermal Engineers / Lead Engineers for multiple positions across the aerothermal design, analysis, and verification of compressors, combustors, and turbines.
Key Responsibilities
Conceptual design of compressor and turbine flowpath, including 1D mean-line and 2D throughflow design and analysis.
Design of blade sections and 3D blades for compressors and turbines.
Conceptual design of combustors.
Analysis and optimization of designed flowpath using 3D CFD.
Analysis of component and engine performance across the operating envelope.
Support component and engine testing across all aspects of compressor, combustor, and turbine aerodynamics; define instrumentation requirements, plan tests, and support pre- and post-test validation.
Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to deliver optimal designs that meet engine performance and life requirements.
Liaise with the supply chain team on manufacturing, production support, and part qualification.
For Lead Engineers: Mentor a team of young engineers to deliver aerothermal design, analysis, and validation of gas turbine components.
