Gas Turbine Rotor Design Engineer
About the role
PROENERGY is seeking an experienced Gas Turbine Rotor Design Engineer to focus on the mechanical design, analysis, and drawing release of rotor assembly and components in gas turbines. The successful candidate will perform risk assessments via hand calculations or analysis to identify concerns before a formal design review.
Responsibilities
- Execute the mechanical design, analysis, or evaluation of rotating gas turbine parts for aeroderivative turbines (disks, blisks, spools, shafts, etc.)
- Lead third party design consultants for detailed design of gas turbine parts
- Develops specialized knowledge in their discipline (mechanical rotating design)
- Serves as best practice/quality resource
- Works with Materials and Processes, Operations, Supply Chain, and Quality during manufacturing processes of gas turbine subsystems and/or parts
- Maintain compliance with engineering codes, standards, and regulations
- Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience
- To be able to explain difficult information to build consensus
- Interface as technical authority with field service team for gas turbine parts
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
- Minimum 7 years of relevant Turbomachinery experience and 3-5 years of gas turbine rotor design with manufacturing experience
- Experience with structural, vibration, and thermal analysis for rotating parts components
- In-depth knowledge with GD&T and mechanical drawings
- Experience in CAD software (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) for component design and modeling
- Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) tools (e.g., ANSYS,) and hand calculation for structural, vibration, and thermal analysis
- Knowledge of high-temperature materials, coatings, and various manufacturing processes used in gas turbine rotating parts components
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to develop innovative design solutions
- Able to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines
- Detail-oriented, with the ability to balance the need for performance, manufacturability, and cost
- Familiarity with ISO standards, ASME, or aerospace-specific regulations (e.g., AMS, ASTM) is highly desirable
Qualifications
- Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering is preferred
- Technical leadership of a team designing the rotating system of a gas turbine
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary teams
- Ability to analyze and resolve problems in a logical and effective manner
- Proficient in the use of various MS Office Suite programs
- Familiarity with gas turbine performance, aerodynamic principles, and material selection for gas turbine systems
