About Hycosys

Hycosys is a deep-tech engineering company developing advanced hydrogen-capable power and propulsion systems, with a core focus on Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) and high-speed turbomachinery. We follow a strongly engineering-driven approach grounded in first-principles analysis, high-fidelity simulation, and disciplined experimental validation to mature technologies from early concepts to reliable, deployable hardware.

Role Overview

Hycosys is seeking a Preliminary Design Engineering Intern to support early-stage development of advanced Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) systems.

The role focuses on aero-thermal modeling, gas turbine cycle analysis, and concept-level architecture definition. You will contribute to performance modeling, parametric studies, and competitive benchmarking activities shaping engine configuration decisions during concept and preliminary design phases.

High-performing candidates may be considered for full-time roles within the Preliminary Design or Systems Engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Support development and refinement of gas turbine cycle models for MGT architectures
• Assist in aero-thermal modeling of efficiency, pressure ratio, specific power, TIT, and fuel consumption
• Perform parametric studies assessing sensitivity to pressure ratio, TIT, mass flow, recuperation effectiveness, etc.
• Support preliminary sizing of compressor, turbine, combustor flow splits, and recuperator
• Contribute to trade-off studies balancing efficiency, emissions, weight, cost, and manufacturability
• Assist in competitive benchmarking of commercial and emerging MGT platforms
• Develop simplified 0-D / 1-D performance tools (Python/MATLAB/Excel-based)
• Document modeling assumptions and results in structured engineering format

Eligibility

• Final-year BE/B.Tech or ME/M.Tech (2025 or 2026 pass-out) in Mechanical, Aerospace, Thermal, or related discipline
• Strong academic foundation in thermodynamics, gas turbine cycles, turbomachinery, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer

Required Skills

• Strong understanding of gas turbine cycle fundamentals and aero-thermal analysis
• Ability to conduct structured trade studies and interpret performance trends
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or Excel for modeling and automation
• Strong analytical thinking and technical communication skills

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to NPSS, GasTurb, GSP, GT-Power, or similar tools
• Familiarity with gas turbine architectures for power and propulsion
• Understanding of turbomachinery performance maps and component matching
• Exposure to system-level modeling approaches

What This Internship Offers

• Direct involvement in real MGT architecture and performance definition activities
• Exposure to early-stage engine concept development and trade studies
• Hands-on experience with industrial-grade cycle modeling workflows
• Opportunity for full-time conversion based on performance
