Senior Mechanical Design Engineer

Pay Range: $52.41hr - $57.41hr

Job Overview:

As a member of the Design Liaison Engineering (DLE) team, the candidate will be an active contributor to the Gas Turbine Engineering (GTE) organization, providing design engineering support to global supply chain partners. The team is essential for maintaining high technical rigor to ensure product quality is not compromised while working with a sense of urgency to drive customer fulfillment. As a DLE Engineer, the candidate will provide technical ownership of various types of gas turbine flow path hardware such as blades, stators, vanes, heat shields, variable guide vanes, and linkage assemblies. The successful candidate will analyze and disposition hardware deviations, oversee second source supplier qualifications, participate in lean initiatives to reduce costs, scrap, and non-conformances, and own specific redesign efforts through engineering drawing revisions. This hands-on role requires collaboration with engineering teams, suppliers, and factories to ensure hardware quality and fulfillment while solving manufacturing challenges for complex gas turbine components and assemblies.

Technical Skills:

• Ability to collaborate in a cross functional global organization.
• Ability to rapidly shift day to day priorities based on emerging business needs.
• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university or college or relevant experience equivalent to that degree.
• Basic understanding of manufacturing processes, methods, materials, and coatings.
• Humble, open-minded, self-motivated, and a continuous learner.
• Proficient with Microsoft Office, specifically Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
• Strong organizational and communication skills.
• Understanding of GD&T and ability to interpret engineering drawings and bills of materials.

Nice To Have:

• Experience with manufacturing processes such as precision forging, investment casting, machining (milling, drilling, turning, EDM), coating, shot peening, inspection, fixturing, etc.
• Familiar with Ansys, NX, and other analytical tools.
• Previous non-conformance dispositioning experience of deviating hardware by applying mechanical engineering assessments.
• Relevant experience designing gas turbine hardware or similar rotating machinery, specifically flow path components.

Responsibilities:

• Leverage analytical tools to analyze and deliver solutions for deviant hardware and provide design support to prevent repeat incidents.
• Own hardware redesign efforts by revising drawings to enhance manufacturability.
• Act as technical focal for qualifications of new processes/changes, and second source suppliers.
• Conduct technical reviews of design tasks and help assess risks at the component, assembly, and system levels.
• Follow standard work and design templates for common issues and contribute to the improvement of design and manufacturing processes or methods.
• Ensure adherence to technical standards in design activities, maintaining quality and accuracy.
• Apply basic knowledge of gas turbine design to support improvements in part functionality and cost reduction.
• Foster a positive work environment, supporting a culture of quality and urgency in collaboration with the supply chain team.
