Turbomachinery Component Design Engineer - Research and Technology

About the role

The Component Design Engineer will create engineering solutions that satisfy functional and physical requirements from the Product System and Sub-System level environments. They are responsible for the on-time delivery and quality of component design definition artefacts, ensuring they meet system and sub-system requirements.

Responsibilities

• Deliver design solutions for component(s), complex assemblies and whole engines in consideration of safety, manufacturing capability, product physical and functional robustness.
• Design solutions also should address Unit Cost, Lifecycle Cost, Weight, Maintainability, and Repair.
• Create and use automated and integrated tool sets.
• When repeat design is anticipated, create automated workflows to enable the design of the component utilizing house style, standard features, and standard assessments to define the optimum design as part of automated MBD, manufacture and measurement definitions.
• Quality Assurance through checking design documents, models, drawings in accordance with RRMS technical requirements and proactive Zero Defects approaches.
• Carry out analyses using formula-based calculations and/or automated workflows for dimensioning of parts and components (e.g. stability, stiffness, profiles, balance point, weights) and where appropriate, use analytical rules, tools and methods to underwrite the design solution against requirements.
• Create technical documents to comply with process, knowledge management, information and data policies.
• Manage product configuration and ensure data integrity.
• Execute sub-system integration process including the appropriate use of Systems Engineering and Robust Design tools to ensure that the technical attributes of the Sub-system design meet the agreed requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 1+ years of related hands-on experience; OR Masters degree in Engineering; OR JD/PhD in Engineering
• Strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and an understanding of cross-discipline engineering concepts which include but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, thermal and mechanical analysis, cost engineering and product definition.
• An ability to apply logical, analytical and innovative thinking on a range of technical problems and make balanced decisions across technical and business parameters.
• Knowledge and experience of product integrity / liability and certification frameworks.
• Good communication and presentation skills at all levels of the organization.
• Knowledge of gas turbine subsystems and components and their function and operation.
• Demonstrated experience in progressing designs/changes through a gated review process.
