Hot Gas Path (HGP) Design Engineer

About the Role

As a Hot Gas Path (HGP) Design Engineer within our Fleet Engineering team, you will play a critical role in maintaining the reliability and availability of our global gas turbine fleet. You will serve as a technical expert responsible for the integrity of turbine components through advanced analytical methods and rapid, data-driven decision-making.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute high-fidelity finite element analysis (FEA) to evaluate gas turbine hardware under complex thermal and mechanical boundary conditions.
• Perform lifing analyses, including Low/High Cycle Fatigue (LCF/HCF), creep, oxidation, and fracture mechanics to ensure component reliability.
• Conduct structural, modal, and forced response analyses; interpret results to create Campbell diagrams and characterize dynamic behavior.
• Provide decisive technical support for urgent engineering requests (ER) from field teams.
• Support Root Cause Analysis (RCA) investigations to identify failure mechanisms and implement robust, long-term solutions.
• Synthesize complex analytical findings into clear, actionable presentations for Design Reviews and internal stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, or other relevant engineering discipline (required).
• Master of Science in Engineering (desired).
• At least 6+ years of relevant engineering design experience.
• Prior experience supporting or leading root cause analyses (RCA) is desirable.
• 6+ years of classic Ansys/mechanical (FEA) design experience.
• 3+ years of NX (CAD) experience.
• Knowledge of GD&T standards, and how to interpret engineering drawings, perform stackups, etc.
• Experience using PLM or Teamcenter configuration management tools.
• Demonstrated ability to work remotely with global teammates.
• Strong interpersonal, oral, and written communication skills.
• Experience working in a Services environment.
