• Understanding of thermal growth, rotor dynamic motion, and tolerance stack-up effects.
• Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics.
• Experience performing structured system-level trade studies.
• Ability to work across disciplines and drive system-level decisions.
• Strong analytical and documentation capability.

Responsibilities

• Own system-level architecture for secondary flows, leakage management, and clearance control.
• Establish and manage leakage and clearance budgets with performance margin allocation.
• Develop engine-level models for secondary flow distribution and clearance behavior.
• Define rotor–stator clearance strategies considering thermal growth and rotor dynamics.
• Lead system-level trade studies balancing efficiency, durability, weight, and cost.
• Support selection and integration of sealing technologies.
• Collaborate with structural, rotordynamics, turbomachinery, combustion, and manufacturing teams.
• Define instrumentation requirements for validation of pressures, temperatures, and leakage.
• Correlate analysis with test data and implement corrective actions.
• Mitigate system-level risks related to efficiency loss, rub events, or seal degradation.
• Support structured requirements allocation and traceability practices.
• Maintain rigorous documentation under configuration control standards.

• Strong fundamentals in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics
• Experience performing structured system-level trade studies
• Ability to work across disciplines and drive system-level decisions
• Strong analytical and documentation capability

Good to Have

• Experience with Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs) or small-core gas turbine architectures
• Familiarity with API 617 / API 684 philosophy
• Exposure to reduced-order modeling for system integration
• Experience supporting engine-level validation or endurance programs
• Understanding of manufacturing tolerances and life prediction methodologies

What We Offer

• Ownership of critical engine-level performance drivers
• Direct influence on efficiency, operability, and durability outcomes
• Cross-functional systems integration exposure
• A rigorous, product-driven engineering culture
• Long-term growth toward Principal or Chief Engineer responsibilities
