Mechanical Design Engineer #26-13532

Role Overview

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.

Key Responsibilities

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

Educational Requirements

• Required: Bachelors of Science in Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering, or other relevant engineering discipline
• Desired: Masters of Science in Engineering

Other Requirements

• At least 4+ years of relevant engineering design experience
• Prior experience supporting or leading root cause analyses (RCA) is desirable
• Classic Ansys/mechanical (FEA) design experience (4+ years)
• NX (CAD) experience (4+ years)
• Knowledge of GD&T standards, and how to interpret engineering drawings, perform stackups, etc
• Experience using PLM or Teamcenter configuration management tools
• Strong interpersonal skills
• Strong oral and written communication skills
