Position Summary
We are seeking a talented and driven Hot Gas Path Component Engineer to join our team. In this role you will be responsible for designing and optimizing critical components within the hot gas path of a gas turbine. These components are subjected to extreme temperatures and stresses and your work will ensure they meet performance durability and reliability requirements. You will work with crossfunctional teams to contribute to the development and improvement of advanced gas turbine technology.
Position Responsibilities
- Design and optimize components within the hot gas path of gas turbines including turbine blades nozzles and shrouds.
- Focus on highperformance materials and manufacturing processes to meet the demanding thermal mechanical and aerodynamic requirements of hot gas path components.
- Perform analysis (e.g. stress strain fatigue life) to ensure hot gas path components can withstand operational loads thermal gradients and mechanical stresses.
- Use advanced engineering tools to conduct thermal structural and fluid flow analyses on hot gas path components.
- Optimize component designs based on thermal stresses fatigue and aerodynamic performance to enhance efficiency and reliability.
- Work closely with material and process engineers to select appropriate hightemperature alloys (superalloys) and coatings.
- Work alongside crossfunctional teams including manufacturing repair material and process engineers and quality assurance to develop robust designs that can be efficiently produced and assembled.
- Collaborate with turbine performance engineers to understand performance goals and contribute to design modifications that achieve these targets.
- Participate in or oversee the validation process of hot gas path components through physical testing simulation and analysis to ensure the design meets all operational and safety requirements.
- Support the development and implementation of testing protocols for hot gas path components.
- Investigate performance issues or failures related to hot gas path components analyze root causes and implement design changes to improve performance and prevent recurrence.
- Apply lessons learned from testing and field data to drive continuous improvements in the design of future gas turbine hot gas path components.
- Prepare detailed design documentation including CAD models technical drawings analysis reports and material specifications.
- Provide regular progress updates and technical reports to management and project stakeholders.
- Contribute to the innovation of new design solutions and methods that improve turbine efficiency reduce emissions and lower operational costs.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Aerospace Engineering or a related field. Advanced degrees (Masters or Ph.D. are preferred.
- Minimum 35 years of experience in gas turbine design specifically in the hot gas path region (turbine blades nozzles shrouds etc..
- Experience with hightemperature materials coatings and advanced alloys used in gas turbines.
- Strong background in structural thermal and fluid flow analysis for turbine components.
- Familiarity with turbine performance aerodynamic analysis and design optimization techniques is desirable.
- Proficiency in CAD software (e.g. Creo SolidWorks) for component design and engineering finite element analysis (FEA) tools (e.g. ANSYS or similar).
- Experience with thermal and mechanical stress analysis tools and knowledge of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
- Indepth knowledge with drawing GT&D in alignment with manufacture and repair of hot gas path components.
- Strong understanding of materials science particularly in hightemperature alloys composites and coatings.
- Familiarity with gas turbine performance and aerodynamics principles.
- Excellent problemsolving and criticalthinking skills.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects while maintaining attention to detail.
- Creative mindset for innovating and improving design solutions.
- Detailoriented with the ability to balance the need for performance manufacturability repairability and cost.
- Familiarity with ISO standards ASME or aerospacespecific regulations (e.g. AMS ASTM) is highly desirable.
- US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a workauthorized visa.
- Successful candidate will need to satisfactorily complete preemployment drug screen and background check
