About The Position

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for high-speed rotating machinery to support the design, analysis, and development of advanced turbomachinery operating in compressible flow environments. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of performance, mechanical integrity, and real-world hardware. You will contribute across the full product lifecycle from early design and detailed analysis to testing, qualification, and production support playing a key role in advancing our rotating machinery product line. Success in this position requires a strong foundation in mechanical design principles, including structural analysis, material behavior, and an appreciation for how components perform under demanding operating conditions. As part of a collaborative engineering team, you will apply sound engineering judgment, work closely with cross-functional partners, and help translate analytical results into robust, manufacturable designs that perform reliably in service.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 2 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field
Prior engineering experience within aerospace, automotive, power generation or manufacturing environments.
