Key Functions:

CFD Combustion Project Leader has leadership as well as technical delivery role 
having key functions as below:
• Project Delivery: (60% of time) The key aspect of the project engineer will be 
do deliver on CFD projects for 
combustion modeling. State of the art commercial tools like Ansys FLUENT, STAR-
CCM+ needs to be used for executing 
the simulations.
• Capability Building: The engineers need to develop capabilities in terms of 
use of advanced models, automation, 
development of best practices as well as establishing connection with other 
lower order modeling tools. This process 
is continuous to ensure we are aware of the latest trends and stay ahead of 
competition
•Team Leadership: (40% of time) Lead a combustion group of three to five 
engineers. He will be responsible for timely 
delivery and invoicing. Preform the resource planning, decide modeling 
strategies for all projects. Make sure the 
quality and accuracy of the results. 

Job Responsibilities:

Project Delivery: 
• Deliver on combustion modeling projects using computational fluid dynamic 
based formulations. Execute the 
project from preparation of geometry to simulation to post processing and 
preparation of report.
• State of the art commercial tools like Ansys-FLUENT, STAR-CCM+ are to be used 
for the project delivery. Prior 
exposure and experience in handling these tools is assumed. Limited on project 
training will be provided as well.
• Developing a strategy for combustion model and addition of complexity in a 
stage wise manner is the key. 
Interpretation of results for combustion system and analyzing the data is 
equally important. The engineer needs 
to take special effort need in that direction. 
• The project success needs to be ensured by delivering quality output in a 
timely manner. Ability to put long hours 
as and when needed is expected to ensure project success.
• Combustion simulations need high end compute resource as well as many large 
parallel license keys. The engineer 
needs to ensure correctness of the simulation so that there is no negative 
impact on the project delivery in terms 
of exceeding the delivery time lines or crossing planned hardware & software 
resources.
• Work with other team members who may contribute in terms of geometry or mesh 
preparation in time crunch 
modes as required. Guiding them with clear set of instructions is required as 
part of team effort.
• Track and manage the progress on project in terms of deliverables and provide 
regular updates to the team 
manager.
• Take overall responsibility for customer engagement for project delivery. 
Attend all project meetings with the 
customer to ensure smoother delivery along with customer success.
• Consulting business is cyclic and it important to keep that in mind. The 
engineer needs to be open to work on noncombustion project as per the company 
requirements.
Capability Building: 
• Develop best practices for combustion simulations in terms of overall 
approach, meshing practices, choice of 
turbulence model, better initialization, schemes to be used, convergence 
strategies, etc.
• Focus on advanced models such as LES, use of actual species with multiple 
levels of reactions, etc. Keep track of 
all new aspects and development plans for commonly used commercial tools.
• Understand the integration with other tools, lower order models, etc. This 
will help to develop faster models and 
generate quick understanding of the system. 


Team Leadership:
• Plan resources 
• Write proposals for different combustion modeling problems
• Guide and coach, the team members
• Schedule calls with clients wherever necessary to make a smooth communication
 
 Key Competencies:
• Ability to define and solve CFD problem in combustion space
• Technically sound in heat transfer, mass transfer and reactions 
• Excellent Written and Oral Communication skills 
• Ability to interpret, present and defend the results with a customer
• Professional, self-motivated and Accountable

Education / Experience:
• Master’s (with three to eight years of experience) or PhD (with four year of 
experience) from 
Chemical/Mechanical or Aerospace engineering discipline from reputed Institute.
• Experience in performing CFD based combustion analysis is required. Experience 
with gas fired burners, preheaters, boilers is preferred.
• Relevant coursework or educational background in Combustion, Kinetics, 
Chemical Thermodynamics, Reacting 
Gas Dynamics and Heat Transfer is a must. Advanced knowledge of combustion 
principles, Heat Transfer aspects 
will be an added advantage. 
• Should be proficient in handling Ansys tools like FLUENT, Spaceclaim, AMP, 
etc.
• Should be a team player with ability to interact and work in a team 
environment. Should be able to deliver on 
projects with strict deadlines.
