Design Engineer

About Hycosys

Hycosys is a deep-tech engineering company developing advanced hydrogen-capable power and propulsion systems, with a core focus on Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) and high-speed turbomachinery. We follow a strongly engineering-driven approach grounded in first-principles analysis, high-fidelity simulation, and disciplined experimental validation to mature technologies from early concepts to reliable, deployable hardware.

Role Overview

We are seeking a Preliminary Design Engineer to support early-stage development of Micro Gas Turbine (MGT) systems. The role focuses on conceptual and preliminary design activities, including aero-thermal modeling, cycle analysis, and engine architecture definition.

The role works closely with cross-functional teams across compressor, turbine, combustion, bearings, rotordynamics, recuperator, systems engineering, mechanical design, and manufacturing disciplines.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute aero-thermal and MGT cycle models for new concepts and variants
• Translate system-level requirements into preliminary engine architectures and targets
• Integrate inputs from component teams into coherent concept-level sizing models
• Perform parametric studies, preliminary sizing, and structured trade-off analyses
• Assess technology capability, maturity, and development risk
• Conduct competitive benchmarking of commercial and emerging MGT platforms
• Execute analyses in line with engineering standards and best practices
• Ensure accurate documentation, traceability, and reporting of technical data

Must-have Requirements

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or related discipline
• Minimum 3 years of experience in gas turbine or turbomachinery preliminary design
• Strong foundation in thermodynamics, cycle analysis, and aero-thermal modeling
• Hands-on experience with NPSS, GasTurb, GSP, GT-Power, or equivalent tools
• Ability to perform structured trade studies and communicate results clearly
