Senior Turbomachinery Engineer: Design to Production

Infotel Canada; Cumming (GA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 210,000; Full time

Job summary

Drove Aeropower is seeking a Lead Turbomachinery Engineer to own the design, manufacture, test, and production of high‑temperature rotating equipment across power and propulsion systems. You will lead cross‑functional efforts from preliminary sizing through failure investigation and production release.

You will design with manufacturing and suppliers, manage turbomachinery suppliers, and drive early risk identification to closure, ensuring hardware is built, balanced, and proven in real-world

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering.
• 10+ years in power-generation, propulsion, turbomachinery, or high-speed rotating equipment development.
• Hands-on design of high-temperature rotating hardware (blades, disks, shafts, impellers, bearings).
• Strong understanding of rotor dynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mechanical design.
• Experience with high-temperature materials, coatings, creep, fatigue, and life prediction.
• End-to-end hardware experience: design through test, failure investigation, redesign, and production.
• Ability to create drawings, tolerance schemes, specifications, test plans, and manufacturing requirements.

Responsibilities

• Define instrumentation and test requirements; run spin tests, overspeed tests, and full-system validation; correlate models with hardware performance.
• Lead root-cause investigations (vibration, thermal distress, bearings, cracking, wear) and drive corrective action through redesign and re-test.
• Design with manufacturing and suppliers for producible, inspectable, and scalable parts using machining, casting, coatings, and balancing.
• Manage critical turbomachinery suppliers and transition prototype hardware into controlled production designs with drawings, specs, and inspection criteria.
• Spot system-level risks early and drive them to closure; ensure rotating equipment remains integrated with other disciplines.
