• Ensure mechanical integrity across extreme operating conditions.
• Define materials, tolerances, and manufacturing methods.
• Perform advanced stress, thermal, and fatigue analysis.
• Collaborate across disciplines to integrate with rotating systems and thermal components.
• Support manufacturability, testing, and continuous improvement.
• Translate test and field data into robust, reliable design enhancements.
• Provide design inputs for assembly processes to ensure ease of assembly and minimize risks during manufacturing and turbine assembly.
• Support the development and execution of test plans for casing and frame components, including structural, thermal, and vibration testing.
• Review test results to validate the performance and durability of casing and frame designs, making design adjustments as needed.
• Investigate field failures or performance issues related to casing and frame components and identify root causes.
• Propose design improvements based on test data, operational experience, or failure analysis to enhance the overall performance and reliability of gas turbines.
• Prepare detailed design documentation, including CAD models, technical drawings, analysis reports, and material specifications.
• Provide regular updates on project status, design changes, and technical findings to stakeholders.
• Stay current with the latest technologies and best practices in casing and frame design, including new materials, manufacturing techniques, and design optimization tools.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve designs and contribute to the development of innovative solutions for gas turbine components.

The ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees (Master’s or Ph.D.) are preferred.
