Job description

Siemens Energy and Siemens Gamesa are becoming Omterra. "We energize society" by supporting our customers to make the transition to a more sustainable world, based on innovative technologies and our ability to turn ideas into reality. With nearly 100,000 employees around the world, we shape the energy systems of today and tomorrow.

Every day is different and every task offers something new to learn! On the one hand, R&D projects give the opportunity to focus several months on one turbine blade and its damage mechanisms. The Repair Lifing Engineer will analyze, simulate, re-design and optimize the blade; from home, at the office or occasionally directly on the shop floor. On the other hand, the phone rings and a power plant customer needs a decision for their gas turbine within a few hours. But no matter what it is, you’re never alone, there is always a motivated, experienced and supportive international team at your side!

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Analyze complex gas turbine blades, vanes and additional parts based on real operation data and inspection findings; evaluate the capabilities of service exposed turbine parts to ensure a reliable power plant operation for our customers.
• Simulate multiple damage mechanisms using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and additional tools to determine the remaining useful life of components; evaluate the impact and applicability of a range of repair methods on component life.
• Lead interdisciplinary small teams to develop improved designs with high business impact; update 3D CAD models, drawings and product definitions for a quick implementation of ideas.
• Validate and enhance analysis methodology and design philosophies to generate significant cost savings in existing long-term service contracts.
• Determine and manage risks based on statistical models; support customer meetings with prior experience and knowledge.

What You Bring

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering or related field (ideally with a focus on the simulation of mechanical integrity) or equivalent relevant experience, and 8+ years of experience.
• Distinct analytical skills and an interest to break new ground.
• Proficiency in creating CAD models, analyzing FEA models, ideally familiar with fracture mechanics and programming languages.
• Effective communication skills, competent in collaborating with teams locally and virtually (around the globe).
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.
