Lead Turbine Hot-Section Durability Engineer

Veridian Tech Solutions, Inc.; East Hartford (CT); Presencial; USD 120.000 - 180.000; Jornada completa

Descripción de la vacante

Veridian Tech Solutions, Inc. in East Hartford, CT seeks a Senior Hot Section Durability Engineer to lead durability strategy for turbine and combustor components, ensuring HSRI targets are met while maintaining performance and cost goals.

The role spans concept through testing, certification, field support, and aftermarket engineering. Responsibilities include advanced analyses (TMF, CHT, FEA), design reviews, and mentoring junior engineers.

Formación

• Bachelor's degree in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering; Master’s degree preferred.
• 12+ years of experience in hot-section turbine, combustor, or high-temperature component durability.
• Demonstrated ability to lead complex durability analyses, investigations, and cross-functional decision making.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to influence design, manufacturing, and program leadership.

Responsabilidades

• Lead durability strategy for turbine and combustor components, ensuring compliance with time-on-wing, repairability, and HSRI targets.
• Responsible for design and assessment of turbine airfoils, BOAS, combustor liners including internal cooling schemes, film cooling technologies, thermal barrier coatings, and advanced materials.
• Develop and execute analyses of varying complexity, including: Mechanical, time-dependent damage predictions (creep, oxidation, TBC spallation, TMF).
• Full conjugate heat transfer (CHT) and coupled aerothermal-structural simulations.
• Reduced-order empirical models and 1D thermal models for rapid design iteration.
• Evaluate the durability impact of complex internal cores, cooling geometries, and advanced manufacturing processes.
• Conduct and lead root-cause investigations using new, returned, and repaired hardware to understand field performance, distress progression, and failure mechanisms.
• Provide technical leadership in design reviews, safety boards, and program milestones; mentor junior engineers on durability methods and best practices.
• Support manufacturing and supply chain by understanding process capabilities, anticipated variability, and implications for durability and quality.
• Develop and refine internal tools, models, and methodologies to accelerate durability assessments and improve prediction fidelity.
