    Role


    Natel Energy is seeking a skilled and motivated turbine CFD design engineer to join our team Natel designs and tests high performance FishSafe hydraulic turbines, modernizing the hydro industry and preserving biodiversity while simultaneously enabling decarbonization.

    You will join an exciting and fast paced team where we develop customized solutions for some of the largest turbines in the global fleet down to scale model performance test units.

    You will help us achieve our goals of modernization, decarbonization, and biodiversity by designing and optimizing hydro turbine geometry from first principles through detailed CFD and, at times, through to physical scale model testing.

    You will work with other hydraulic design engineers at Natel to complete regular design deliverables for customers and partners, aid the commercial team with proposals, conduct R&D-related analysis and design work for test equipment, and improve and automate processes for increased throughput.

    Become an expert in Natel's system and product design space.

    Understand tradeoffs in hydraulic design performance, cost, and mechanical + operational implications; interpret and apply customer and site design requirements along with performance and fish survival models and test data; propose and deliver solutions (OML, layouts, loads) and associated documentation.

    Assess test data of sub- and full-scale systems to inform design approaches; design and participate in conducting performance tests.

    Document and report analysis and test approaches and results in formats ranging from tabular data to figures to publication-worthy reports and presentations.

    Familiarity with data analysis and/or automation coding languages (eg. Python, Java)

    A motivation to apply your skills and knowledge in a fast-paced R&D and production environment

    An organized and data-driven approach to problem solving

    Strong written and verbal communication skills: comfortable receiving as well as providing guidance and technical material from/to engineers, designers, technicians, and suppliers

    Confidence in working independently to drive a project forward


    Not Required, but Pluses:
    Proficiency in Siemens NX surfacing techniques

    Expertise in STAR-CCM+

    Experience in the design or analysis of hydro turbines or pumps or turbomachinery in general

    Both Windows and Linux based HPC setup and job management experience
