What are the responsibilities and job description for the Thermal Structural Engineer position at Siemens Energy?
A Snapshot of Your Day
As a Thermal Structural Engineer you will apply your expertise in modelling thermal structural, fluid dynamics and heat transfer to simulate and analyze the gap requirements of large gas turbines, as well as the overall thermal behavior of the engine. You’ll be part of a global engineering team, contributing to both new product development and service-related projects!
Your role will involve close collaboration with project managers, component engineers, and colleagues from manufacturing and service departments.
How You’ll Make An Impact
Use in-house and commercial simulation tools to:
About The Team
Gas Services
Our Gas Services division offers Low-emission power generation through service and decarbonization. Zero or low emission power generation and all gas turbines under one roof, steam turbines and generators. Decarbonization opportunities through service offerings, modernization, and digitalization of the fleet.
Who is Siemens Energy?
At Siemens Energy, we are more than just an energy technology company. With ~100,000 dedicated employees in more than 90 countries, we develop the energy systems of the future, ensuring that the growing energy demand of the global community is met reliably and sustainably. The technologies created in our research departments and factories drive the energy transition and provide the base for one sixth of the world's electricity generation.
Our global team is committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We uphold a 150-year legacy of innovation that encourages our search for people who will support our focus on decarbonization, new technologies, and energy transformation.

Your role will involve close collaboration with project managers, component engineers, and colleagues from manufacturing and service departments.
How You’ll Make An Impact
Use in-house and commercial simulation tools to:
- Development/evolution/maintenance of whole engine computational models that simulate thermo-mechanical behavior of components in gas turbines.
- Simulate transient heating and expansion of the entire engine to determine optimal assembly gaps especially between rotating and stationary components.
- Analyze simulation results and test data to derive design-relevant conclusions.
- Contribute to the conceptual design for gas turbines and evaluating operational data and findings from prototypes and the current fleet to support design improvements and reliability.
- A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field is required; a Master's degree or Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering field is a plus.
- 0-2 or more years of relevant experience in gas turbines or cooling air systems is desirable; Candidates with more direct experience may be eligible for a more senior level position.
- Practical knowledge of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and general mechanical or process engineering is preferred.
- Proven ability to analyze complex technical topics.
- Experience with computational simulation tools, programming languages, and finite element model analysis (FEA) software is a plus.
- Familiarity with risk assessment methods, such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), is a plus.
