Lead Inspection Engineer - AMRT
About The Position
As a Lead Inspection Engineer on the Advance Manufacturing and Repair Technologies (AMRT) Inspection Team, you will develop and deploy inspection and measurement solutions supporting the manufacture and repair of critical gas turbine components within the Repair Value Stream. The role strengthens airflow inspection capabilities by combining component-level knowledge with hands-on fixture design, vendor management, and project leadership. You will own the technical development, documentation, and deployment of airflow inspection fixtures and processes. Working cross-functionally, you will define component airflow requirements, contribute to and perform fixture design, manage external vendors, and lead projects from concept through implementation. You will improve documentation and drive best practices and standards across the network, partnering with repair engineering, AMRT special process teams, repair service centers, and quality teams to deliver accurate, repeatable, and scalable airflow inspection solutions. Domestic and international travel up to 15% is required. Relocation assistance is provided. The position is eligible for a discretionary annual bonus. The stated U.S. pay range is $98,400 to $164,000, with geographic differentials in certain areas.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field, plus at least 5 years of experience in engineering, fixture design, or a related field within manufacturing; alternatively, at least 9 years of experience in engineering, fixture design, manufacturing, or a related field within manufacturing in lieu of a degree.
- Ability to travel domestically and internationally up to 15%.
Nice To Haves
- Familiarity with gas turbine hot gas path components and repair processes, or component-level knowledge of turbomachinery or similar precision-engineered parts.
- Proficiency with Siemens NX, including 3D modeling, assemblies, and drafting, with hands-on fixture design experience, GD&T application, datum strategy, and tolerance stack-up.
- Proven project management skills, including planning, scheduling, and managing multiple concurrent priorities.
- Experience identifying, qualifying, and working with vendors, including quoting, technical negotiations, and delivery follow-up.

- Knowledge of additional inspection technologies such as CMM, optical or structured light, CT, or other NDT methods, and experience with measurement system analysis, gauge R&R, and statistical tools.
Responsibilities
- Lead airflow-related projects end to end, including scoping, scheduling, budgeting, risk management, and stakeholder communication.
- Apply component-level knowledge, including cooling features, flow paths, and sealing surfaces, to define fixture requirements, interfaces, and inspection methods.
- Design, develop, and validate airflow inspection fixtures and tooling for turbine components using NX and airflow software.
- Identify, qualify, and manage external vendors for fixture fabrication, machining, instrumentation, and related services, including RFQs, technical specifications, design reviews, and acceptance or buy-off activities.
- Develop, maintain, and continually improve airflow technical documentation, including drawings, models, special process documents, inspection procedures, and validation reports.
- Collaborate with repair and design engineering, manufacturing, service centers, quality, and supply chain teams to align inspection requirements with component needs.
- Drive continuous improvement in airflow inspection standards, improve capability, and reduce cycle time and cost.
- Standardize fixture validation, fixture qualification, and measurement system analysis activities associated with industrializing airflow fixtures for production environments.
- Support internal and external customer needs and help prioritize the airflow work backlog with the team leader.
