We're Hiring: Turbine & Hot Gas Path Aero Engineer
Full time | Core team
LAT Aerospace | Gas Turbine Engines
At LAT Aerospace, we’re building India’s first clean-sheet hybrid-electric STOL aircraft and a
next-generation family of gas-turbine engines. We are looking for an engineer who can take
ownership of turbine aerodynamics: covering design, CFD, testing support, and hot-section
performance.
What you’ll do
Design, test, and evaluate- Aerodynamic design and analysis of turbine components.
Mean-Line & Quasi-3D Aerodesign – Use mean-line, through-flow, and blade-to-blade tools to generate first-cut turbine designs.
High-Fidelity CFD Analysis – Build and execute high-fidelity 3D CFD simulations to assess turbine performance.
Blade Geometry Optimisation – Perform blade shape optimisation to meet aero and structural targets.
Hot-Section Interpretation – Understand how combustor exit conditions, pattern factor, and temperature non-uniformity influence turbine life, stresses, and performance.
What we're looking for
Master’s degree in Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering with focus on turbomachinery, aerodynamics, or thermal sciences
3+ years of experience in turbine aerodynamics or hot-gas-path work
Strong understanding of turbomachinery aerodynamics, loss modelling, and flow physics.
Advanced proficiency in 3D CFD (CFX) for turbomachinery flow analysis and performance evaluation.
Strong capability in mean-line/throughflow/2D blade analyses
Experience in blade shape optimization
Solid foundation in heat transfer , compressible-flow physics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics.
Proficient in using CAD software (NX or equivalent).
Why LAT?
Core team opportunity at a high-conviction deep-tech startup
Build India’s next-generation GTEs - the kind that India has never seen before
Work in an environment where hardware development moves fast, ownership is high, and engineering matters

What We Do
Imagine a world where flying is as easy as taking a bus. A world where air travel isn't just for the major cities, but for everyone, everywhere. No more congested hubs, no more wasted hours in security lines—just seamless, affordable, on-demand flights connecting thousands of destinations that the world has ignored for too long. We are building the future of mass aviation: a network of high-frequency, low-cost, 8 seater, STOL (short take-off and landing), medium-haul aircraft that make every city, every town, and every community accessible—without compromise. Powered by next-generation aircraft, designed ground-up for efficiency, built for affordability, and future-proofed for autonomy, we are aiming to rewrite the rules of flight. Our aircraft will take off and land in compact "air-stops" no bigger than a parking lot—no baggage belts, no security bottlenecks—eliminating the need for complex, expensive airport infrastructure that regional air travel simply doesn't require. No more waiting. No more detours. No more being forced to drive when you should be able to fly. This isn't the impractical supersonic future of aviation as you are made to believe. This is the real future of aviation that our communities need. --------- We are hiring We’re building a next-gen aerospace company — from scratch. Our Aircraft team is leading the development of our 8-seater hybrid-electric aircraft, spanning design, prototyping, systems integration, testing, and everything in between. Our GTE team is focused on building a world-class gas turbine engine. We're especially looking for folks with experience in turbines, rotors, control systems, or anything close.
