Job Description Summary

TSD tools and method is a critical domain for Aerospace. TSD tools framework is equipped with state-of-the-art numerical techniques and methods that provides competitive edge for performing thermal analysis. NGT is one such platform which TSD tools team developed it for GE businesses. NGT platform is an integrated framework that has a customized thermal solver with customized GUI (Graphical User Interface) used by GE engineers, for conducting mixed fidelity simulations that includes integrated Flow, Heat transfer and Mechanical analyses.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated individual with a strong numerical background to join our team for the NGT platform. As an Advance Lead Engineer - TSD Tools and Method engineer will be responsible for enhancing thermal capabilities in NGT-Platform as per business need, Work with CTH to create & execute strategic items on state-of-the-art tools/methods which provides competitive edge for completing thermal analysis. You will play a pivotal role in developing, maintaining, and enhancing our thermal tools and numerical modeling workflow. This role demands NGT code base deployment, testing and detailed validation before newer NGT releases to 100+ users. The tool owner must actively interact with all thermal engineers to understand the ask and must follow LEAN approach to eliminate waste as per business need. In addition to the above, this role demands strong collaboration with thermal users to empowering them in resolving issues/challenge faced while using thermal tools.

• Gathering thermal enhancement requests from thermal users and translating those in to first principles-based equations and solving them through in-house solvers.
• Implementing thermal enhancement in NGT solver while ensuing desired connectivity between interfacing tools/methods such as Mechanical solver and Flow Solver etc.
• Stay up to date on the latest advancements in ANSYS core developments relative to thermal simulation technologies and identify opportunities to further optimize our solution processes.
• Creating user interface (UI) specifications in accordance with enhancement request.
• Empowering thermal users while addressing: 1. Bug/Issues reported by users,2. Issues faced while using thermal tools, 3. Automation requests 4. New technology integration requests.
• Meeting delivery schedule adhering to processes followed within GE.
• Following details SDLC process for NGT release (Code update, Integration, Compilation, Testing, Validation, TG review and Release)
• Working on strategic POC's targeted as enhancing tools state considering latest industry trend relative to thermal tools. Actively contributing to Design Board or Tech Community while representing TSD tools team in those forums.

• Overall, 6-8 years of experience with master's degree in Thermal Engineering domain from an accredited university or college (with a minimum of 3+ years of experience in Thermal domain)
• Strong background in thermal engineering and understanding of thermal systems with solid knowledge of numerical methods used in thermal analysis.
• Demonstrated competence and experience in code development using Fortran, C++, Python, MPI. Experience in customizing Ansys is added advantage.
• Exposure to SDLC processes and experience in deploying customized thermal tools to users.
• Introductory knowledge of Hypermesh applications.
• Passionate towards learning new thermal simulation methods / tools.
• A self-learner who will drive the project independently with correct definition of a problem statement to proposing a solution and finally attempting to creatively solve it.
• Ability to work in a cross-functional environment with strong communication and presentation skills.

• Ansys ADPL programming, shell scripting, python scripting.
• Familiarity with thermal modeling best practices and common challenges encountered by thermal engineers.
• Awareness about software practices like Agile, DevOps.
• Knowledge of lean principles and practices.
• Strong interpersonal and leadership skills with ability to influence others.
