Casting Simulation Design Engineer

A snapshot of your day in this role: work in a dynamic engineering environment focused on industrial gas turbine development. Collaborate with global and cross-functional teams on component design, manufacturability improvements, technical problem-solving, and technology advancement while expanding your expertise through practical experience and training. Play a key role in improving the design and manufacturing of complex turbine components, driving the development and validation of advanced simulation methods—including process modeling and defect prediction—to integrate manufacturability early in the design cycle. Your work will help reduce defects, lead times, and costs while increasing product reliability and manufacturing efficiency.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Contribute to the design and optimization of turbine hot gas path components with a focus on performance, durability, and manufacturability
• Develop and apply high-fidelity casting simulation methodologies for robust and high-yield foundry processes
• Integrate manufacturability considerations into early-stage turbine component design through upstream simulation approaches
• Develop innovative cooling technologies balancing thermal performance, manufacturability, and casting feasibility
• Collaborate cross-functionally with design, materials, and manufacturing teams to establish simulation-driven Design-for-Manufacturing (DFM) workflows
• Identify and resolve complex casting challenges through advanced modeling, data-driven analysis, validation activities, and continuous enhancement of simulation methodologies

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, or a related field
• Industrial experience in simulation and manufacturing processes, supporting areas such as:
  • Turbomachinery
  • Turbine hot gas path components
  • Thermal design
  • Fluid systems
  • Related engineering applications
• Understanding of multi-physics simulation principles and Design for Manufacturability (DfM)
• 5+ years’ experience with FEA, CFD, and CAD tools, including advanced 3D simulation such as:
  • ProCAST
  • STAR-CCM+
  • Simcenter 3D
  • ANSYS
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, leveraging strong initiative, self-motivation, self-management, and innovative problem-solving skills
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills
• Must be legally authorized to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship

Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
