Senior Systems Engineer - Gas Turbine

Full-time · Bengaluru, Karnataka · 5+ Years Experience · System-Level Integration Role

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 Senior Systems Engineer to lead the definition, analysis, and integration of critical subsystem architectures for advanced Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) programs.

The role focuses on system-level performance integration including management of secondary flows, sealing architecture, clearance strategies, and leakage control to achieve engine efficiency, durability, and operability targets across steady-state and transient conditions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own system-level architecture for secondary flows, leakage management, and clearance control
  • Establish and manage leakage and clearance budgets with performance margin allocation
  • Develop engine-level models for secondary flow distribution and clearance behavior
  • Define rotor–stator clearance strategies considering thermal growth and rotor dynamics
  • Lead system-level trade studies balancing efficiency, durability, weight, and cost
  • Support selection and integration of sealing technologies
  • Collaborate with structural, rotordynamics, turbomachinery, combustion, and manufacturing teams
  • Define instrumentation requirements for validation of pressures, temperatures, and leakage
  • Correlate analysis with test data and implement corrective actions
  • Mitigate system-level risks related to efficiency loss, rub events, or seal degradation
  • Support structured requirements allocation and traceability practices
  • Maintain rigorous documentation under configuration control standards

Must-have Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or related Engineering discipline
  • 5+ years of industrial experience in gas turbine or turbomachinery systems engineering
  • Experience in secondary flow systems, sealing concepts, and clearance management
  • Understanding of thermal growth, rotor dynamic motion, and tolerance stack-up effects
  • Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics
  • Experience performing structured system-level trade studies
  • Ability to work across disciplines and drive system-level decisions
  • Strong analytical and documentation capability

Good to Have

  • Experience with Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) or small-core gas turbine architectures
  • Familiarity with API 617 / API 684 philosophy
  • Exposure to reduced-order modeling for system integration
  • Experience supporting engine-level validation or endurance programs
  • Understanding of manufacturing tolerances and life prediction methodologies

What We Offer

  • Ownership of critical engine-level performance drivers
  • Direct influence on efficiency, operability, and durability outcomes
  • Cross-functional systems integration exposure
  • A rigorous, product-driven engineering culture
  • Long-term growth toward Principal or Chief Engineer responsibilities

Compensation & Location

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