Gas Turbine Mechanical Design Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end mechanical design and CAD for complete engine assemblies/sub-assemblies (not just individual parts), including fit-up and assembly sequence considerations.
• Create and maintain detailed 3D models and 2D production drawings, applying ASME Y14.5 GD&T and company drafting standards.
• Develop and manage Bills of Materials (BOMs), part structures, and drawing release packages; ensure configuration consistency across models, drawings, and BOMs.
• Define mechanical interfaces, fits, tolerances, and tolerance stack-ups for static and rotating hardware; ensure alignment with assembly practices and inspection methods.
• Prepare and maintain interface control documentation (ICDs) and assembly documentation (exploded views, assembly notes, torque specs, etc.).
• Partner with manufacturing, materials, supply chain, and test teams to resolve design issues, support build activities, and drive design-for-manufacture/assembly improvements.
• Participate in design reviews, support change management (ECR/ECO), and contribute to risk assessments (e.g., FMEA/PFMEA) as needed.

Basic Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (Bachelor’s acceptable with significant relevant experience).
• 5+ years of mechanical design experience for gas turbine, turbomachinery, or related rotating equipment.
• Proficiency with CAD tools for complex assemblies (Siemens NX preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to produce production-quality drawings, manage revisions, and maintain accurate BOMs.
• Strong understanding of mechanical interfaces, fits, tolerances, tolerance stack-ups, and assembly/inspection practices.
• Working knowledge of ASME Y14.5 / GD&T and practical application on manufacturing drawings.
• Knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes relevant to turbomachinery or other types of rotating equipment
• Qualify as a U.S. Person under ITAR §120.62.

Preferred Qualifications

• 10+ years of mechanical design experience, including ownership of complex rotating machinery assemblies.
• Experience working with aero engines (turbojet, turbofan, turboprop) or aerospace gas turbine hardware.
• Experience defining clearance and sealing strategies across operating conditions, accounting for thermal growth and assembly variability.
• Experience with Teamcenter PLM and formal design release/change processes (ECR/ECO, baselines, configuration control).
• Familiarity with airworthiness/certification requirements and aerospace quality systems.
• Experience supporting engine build, instrumentation routing, and test stand integration, including troubleshooting during assembly and test.
