As a team, we create value with impactful decisions by effectively connecting ideas and people; we champion a proactive attitude to unlock full potential in each of our projects.

Partner with the best

You will be responsible for the Rotating Equipment design for Turbomachinery products used in energy production, transformation, recovery and decarbonization. Your major focus will be on mechanical disciplines related to Gas Turbine rotating components, e.g. rotors (wheels, spacers, shafts, etc.) along with axial compressor and turbine blades.

You will have the opportunity to introduce new technology to enhance company profitability and productivity and also to work close to supply chain to drive the continuous improvement strategy. You will be responsible for maintaining and incorporating new cost-effective solutions for design.

As a Lead Engineer for Gas Turbine Rotating Equipment team, you should look to components mechanical design as a full discipline and, in details, you will be responsible for:

• Modeling, drafting, BOM and manufacturability of the designed components.
• Drive the design through finite element analyses majoring on lifing assessment (e.g. creep, oxidation, wear LCF and crack propagation) and aero mechanics related topics (e.g. modal and forced response for HCF).
• Direct involvement on test activities starting from purposes and requirements up to the cycle end with data match and models update.
• Own cost models and should cost analyses.
• Optimize and simplify the internal standard solutions along with design tools, promoting and developing new ideas.
• Ensuring Site/Shop support (L3, NCR/SDR dispositions, field & testing issues)
• Standard maintenance and fleet support (drawing updates, NCA/RCA).
• Collaborate with global teams and other functions to meet the targets provided.

Fuel your passion

To be successful in this role you will:

• Have MSc in Aerospace, Energetic, Industrial or Mechanical Engineering.
• Have a proven working experience in an engineering position for mechanical design.
• Good knowledge of CAD and CAE software (e.g. Ansys) along with at least basic programming concepts (Matlab and/or Python)
• Have developed interpersonal and communication skills; able to influence and motivate others.
