Responsibilities

• Own LP Hood and crossover pipe component design across Order-to-Remittance (OTR) activities for new steam turbine units
• Lead and review engineering analyses to ensure designs meet all required Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) parameters, applying fundamentals of mechanical design including material properties, statics, strength of materials, and Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
• Implement technology advancements across the shaftline system, subsystem, component, and material levels
• Collaborate with cross-functional global teams — including steampath, rotor, thermodynamics, manufacturing, drafting, and global supply chain — to deliver for customers and support mutual technical growth
• Support junior LP Hood engineers in their day-to-day work and professional development
• Design with Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) principles embedded from the start, including safe approaches to lifting and transportation in manufacturing and field settings
