Gas Turbine Rotor Engineer

Gas Turbine Rotor EngineerJOB SUMMARY A 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 REQUIREMENTS Typical Qualifications Education: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 Competencies In-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
