About The Position

PROENERGY is seeking an experienced Gas Turbine Rotor Design Engineer who will be focused on the mechanical design, analysis and the drawing release of rotor assembly and components in gas turbines. The successful candidate will perform risk assessments via hand calculations or analysis to identify any concerns of releasing the parts into production prior to a formal design review. The individual must have a thorough understanding of compressor and turbine rotor design, materials utilized, manufacturing processes and the ability to apply this knowledge. This role requires cross functional collaboration including Materials and Processes, Manufacturing Engineering, and Supply Chain.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
Minimum 7 years of relevant Turbomachinery experience and 3-5 years of gas turbine rotor design with manufacturing experience
Experience with structural, vibration, and thermal analysis for rotating parts components
In-depth knowledge with GD&T and mechanical drawings
Experience in CAD software (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks) for component design and modeling
Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) tools (e.g., ANSYS,) and hand calculation for structural, vibration, and thermal analysis
Knowledge of high-temperature materials, coatings, and various manufacturing processes used in gas turbine rotating parts components.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with the ability to develop innovative design solutions.
Ability to manage multiple projects, prioritize tasks, and meet deadlines.
Detail-oriented, with the ability to balance the need for performance, manufacturability, and cost.
Familiarity with ISO standards, ASME, or aerospace-specific regulations (e.g., AMS, ASTM) is highly desirable.
Must be able to speak, read, and write English fluently.
US work authorization is a precondition of employment. The company will not consider candidates who require sponsorship for a work-authorized visa.
Successful candidate will need to satisfactorily complete pre-employment drug screen and background check
