Gurgaon, Haryana, India AECOM Full time ₹ 1,04,000 - ₹ 1,30,878 per year

We're seeking a specialist engineer with deep expertise in simulating complex hydrodynamic systems, with a focus on transient flow behaviour in hydroelectric and pumped storage schemes. This role involves integrated modelling of fluid systems, rotating equipment, and electrical connections, using advanced simulation platforms such as SIMSEN to evaluate dynamic response across full operating envelopes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Carry out detailed transient analyses of hydropower and pumped storage systems
  • Develop and calibrate dynamic models incorporating penstocks, surge tanks, turbines, and generators
  • Simulate water hammer, load rejection/load acceptance, and start-up/shutdown events
  • Analyse electromechanical interactions across the full system
  • Prepare technical documentation and support risk-based design decisions
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to integrate modelling into wider design strategy

Qualifications

Role Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Civil, or Electrical Engineering (Master's preferred with a fluid systems or hydro focus)
  • Minimum of 8 years' experience in hydroelectric systems modelling, including transient analysis
  • Proficiency in SIMSEN is essential; familiarity with alternative platforms (e.g. AMESim, MATLAB/Simulink, Modelica) is beneficial
  • Strong understanding of hydro-mechanical and electromechanical interactions
  • Experience in pumped storage schemes is highly desirable
  • Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills
  • Ability to work across disciplines and contribute to integrated power-water system design
