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

We are seeking a Structural Engineer to drive the analysis-to-validation lifecycle for advanced turbomachinery and MGT systems. The role is hands-on and execution-focused, involving structural analysis, optimization, and close interaction with experimental testing and design teams.

Key Responsibilities

  • Execute finite element analysis (static, modal, harmonic, transient) for machinery components and assemblies
  • Perform stress, deformation, and vibration analysis under mechanical, thermal, and rotational loads
  • Support design and optimization of shafts, bearings, dampers, couplings, seals, gears, casings, and housings
  • Drive structural optimization for weight, stiffness, durability, manufacturability, and safety margins
  • Perform fatigue and life assessments including LCF, HCF, and creep where applicable
  • Evaluate thermo-structural interactions under steady and transient conditions
  • Support experimental testing through planning, instrumentation definition, and data interpretation
  • Perform analysis–test correlation and update models based on results
  • Identify structural risks early and propose practical mitigations
  • Prepare and maintain analysis and validation reports

Must-have Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Structural Engineering, or related discipline
  • 3+ years of industrial experience in structural analysis of turbomachinery or high-speed systems
  • Strong fundamentals in solid mechanics, structural dynamics, vibration, and fatigue
  • Proficiency in FEA tools such as ANSYS Mechanical and/or NASTRAN
  • Experience with thermal and coupled thermo-structural analysis
  • Working proficiency with 3D CAD tools (NX, SOLIDWORKS, or Creo)
  • Experience supporting experimental testing and instrumentation
  • Strong technical communication and cross-team collaboration skills

Good to Have

  • Experience with hot-section components such as combustors, turbine blades, discs, and casings
  • Exposure to nonlinear analysis including contact, plasticity, and large deformation
  • Experience with creep and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF)
  • Familiarity with strain gauges, accelerometers, proximity probes, and thermocouples
  • Knowledge of aerospace or power-generation design standards

Compensation & Location

Competitive compensation aligned with experience and industry benchmarks.
Location: Whitefield, Bengaluru, Karnataka.
