The successful candidate is expected to be a technical generalist able to develop 
solutions to complex problems using mechanical analysis of rotating and static turbine 
hardware in addition to being ingenious, creative and applying new concepts. A strong 
background in gas turbine design fundamentals and secondary cooling flow systems is highly 
beneficial for this role. The successful candidate will have the skills necessary to 
successfully define, lead and execute projects starting from root cause analysis, solution 
concept through validation, and finally product implementation. Additionally, the 
successful candidate will play an integral role in ensuring that solutions fulfill 
performance, manufacturing, durability, maintainability, and cost targets.

The successful candidate will perform detailed mechanical design work, and manage 
workscope and execution to align with time sensitive deliverables performed under DevOps 
planning. When required, the successful candidate will execute component rig or engine 
tests by managing required hardware, instrumentation, scheduling, resultant data analysis 
and post-test hardware inspections. Strong written, oral and presentation communication 
skills are required. Additionally, the successful candidate will support business 
operations when necessary, with support to customer services, manufacturing, and supply 
chain.
