Siemens Energy, Inc. is looking for engineering students to spend the summer semester working in an integrated product team environment developing gas turbine components, auxiliary systems, and supporting technologies.
Additive Manufacturing – Advanced Gas Turbines operate at very high temperatures and extremely aggressive environments. Additive manufacturing technologies of superalloys are key drivers for advanced engine efficiencies and rapid product development cycles. The performance and life of these components depends very strongly on CAD modeling, design evaluations of new architectures, and a good understanding of process-structure-property-performance (PSPP) of additively manufactured components. Given the high potential return on investment in the area of Additive manufacturing development and Implementation, this is one of the most exciting and funded area in the field of Materials Development for Advanced Gas Turbines. Siemens Energy, Inc. is thus looking for motivated individuals with strong analytical skills in CAD modeling, FEA analysis, materials science & engineering and working familiarity with CAE design tools. The candidate will have the opportunity to work as an integral member of the Additive Manufacturing team and learn hands-on industrial applications and challenges in implementation of the additive manufacturing technologies.
Combustion – Siemens Energy is developing advanced combustor designs for achieving low NOx emissions at high firing temperatures to increase gas turbine efficiency. We are seeking individuals to assist with the design and analysis of new combustor designs, tool development and validation, and data analysis from high pressure test rigs and engines. The preferred candidates have a background in combustion, aerothermal design, acoustics, heat transfer or computational fluid dynamics. Successful interns are self-motivated, curious and creative problem solvers, with good communication and strong team skills
