You will join the Power Conversion team within Engineering as a Structures Engineer focused on turbomachinery static hardware. This is an early-stage role where you'll have direct influence on system architecture and design decisions for power generation turbomachinery.
Key responsibilities include:
- Analyze static components for structural margins across various operating conditions and transient scenarios
- Size components to ensure adequate strength and performance
- Select materials that balance technical capability against lead time and cost constraints
- Partner with cross-functional teams to define clearance requirements for rotating turbomachinery systems
- Contribute to the development of a manufacturable, high-efficiency, robust design
You'll work in an environment where autonomy and ownership are valued at every level. This role is ideal for an engineer excited about being part of a complex turbomachinery product from inception, comfortable working in ambiguous environments without pre-defined design best practices, and interested in contributing beyond a single siloed discipline. You'll have the opportunity to influence critical design decisions early in the company's development.
