Gas Turbine Rotor Engineer
Gas Turbine Rotor EngineerJOB SUMMARYA Gas Turbine Rotor Engineer designs, analyzes, and maintains rotating components—such as wheels, disks, and shafts—to ensure structural integrity, performance, and reliability. They perform FEA modeling, support manufacturing/repairs, conduct root-cause investigations (RCA), and ensure compliance with technical standards (e.g., ASME, ISO).ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES The essential functions of the job include, but are not limited to the following:Design & Analysis: Perform structural, vibration, and thermal analysis of rotor components (disks, blades, spools, shafts) using tools like ANSYS.Clearance & Tolerance Management: Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure proper fits and clearances of assembled rotors to optimize efficiency and prevent rub conditions.Manufacturing Support: Collaborate with Materials, Operations, and Supply Chain during manufacturing to improve performance and manufacturability.Root Cause Investigation (RCA): Participate in FMEA and investigate failures to prevent recurrence.Field/Service Support: Perform site inspections, dimensional checks, and condition assessments to support maintenance planning, overhaul, and service life assessments.Documentation: Maintain technical drawings, design standards, and technical reports.MINIMUM REQUIREMENTSTypical QualificationsEducation: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering.Experience: 3–7+ years in turbomachinery, specifically focusing on gas turbine rotor design or repair.Tools: Proficient in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software (e.g., ANSYS) and CAD software (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks).Knowledge: Expertise in high-temperature materials, FEA, rotor dynamics, and GD&T.Soft Skills: Strong communication skills to lead third-party consultants and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams.Key CompetenciesIn-depth knowledge of rotor.Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes (investment casting, machining).Excellent technical communication skills for interfacing with vendors and field service teamsEqual Opportunity Employer Veterans/Disabled
