Intern – Turbine Aerodynamics Engineer

3-Month Internship · Whitefield, Bengaluru · In-Person · Paid (Performance-Based)

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 looking for an Intern – Turbine Aerodynamics Engineer to support development of high-efficiency turbine stages for Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) applications.

The role offers hands-on exposure to 3D CFD analysis, conjugate heat transfer (CHT) modelling, advanced cooling design, and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) in high-temperature turbine environments.

High-performing candidates may be considered for full-time roles.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform 3D CFD simulations of axial and radial turbine stages (steady-state and transient)
  • Support aerodynamic optimization of blade profiles, end-walls, and secondary flow features
  • Assist in generating turbine performance characteristics (efficiency, pressure ratio, flow capacity)
  • Conduct CHT simulations to evaluate blade metal temperatures and thermal gradients
  • Contribute to design and analysis of advanced turbine cooling architectures
  • Support Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) studies
  • Collaborate with CAD and CFD teams to iterate designs based on manufacturability and performance
  • Assist in documentation of simulation results and preparation for technical reviews

Eligibility

  • Final-year BE/B.Tech or ME/M.Tech (2025 or 2026 pass-out) in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering
  • Strong fundamentals in compressible flow, turbomachinery, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics
  • Basic understanding of turbomachinery aerodynamics

Required Skills

  • Prior project experience in turbine aerodynamics, CHT, or cooling analysis
  • Exposure to CFD tools such as ANSYS CFX/Fluent, STAR-CCM+, or equivalent
  • Python or MATLAB scripting for post-processing and automation

What This Internship Offers

  • Hands-on experience in turbine aerodynamic design and cooling development
  • Exposure to full-cycle engineering: design → simulation → manufacturing → testing
  • Mentorship in advanced CFD and turbomachinery analysis
  • Opportunity for full-time conversion based on performance
