Technical Leader - Steam Turbine Steampath Design (M/F/D)
About The Position
The world's energy future depends on machines that can do more with less. At GE Vernova, our steam turbines sit at the heart of combined-cycle power plants — driving decarbonization by enabling higher efficiency, fuel flexibility across hydrogen and e-fuels, and even carbon capture integration. The blading and steampath systems you will own here are not a component on a drawing; they are the technology that makes cleaner, more powerful energy possible at scale. As a Steampath Technical Leader within our Steam Turbine Engineering team, you will hold full design lifecycle ownership for steampath calculation methodologies and component technology across new unit requisition projects. You will lead a global team of steampath engineers, partner closely with core design teams, and serve as a technical anchor across structures, rotor dynamics, thermodynamics, manufacturing, and field operations. If you are energized by solving problems no one has fully solved before — and by developing the engineers who will solve the next generation — this role was designed for you.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, or equivalent knowledge and experience
- Significant experience in steam turbine design
- Proficiency in English (written and verbal)
- Demonstrated expertise in mechanical design fundamentals, including material properties, strength of materials, fluid dynamics, fatigue life methods (LCF/HCF), creep analysis, and FEA
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree in an Engineering discipline, or completion of GE Vernova's Edison Engineering Development Program
- Experience in steam turbine rotating and stationary component design (buckets, blades, design processes, and procedures)
- Familiarity with full manufacturing processes for power generation equipment, including forgings, machining, and factory assembly/testing
- Proficiency in a second language such as German, French, Spanish, or Polish
- Strong project leadership skills with the ability to manage competing priorities across multiple simultaneous workstreams
Responsibilities
- Lead a global engineering team: Mentor and develop a cross-regional group of Steampath Engineers, enabling both their technical depth and long-term career growth across new unit requisition and service project streams.
- Own steampath design from concept to field: Drive the full design lifecycle for stationary (nozzle) and rotating (bucket/blade) blading and rotor calculations on combined-cycle steam turbine requisition projects, from conceptual design through field validation using GE Vernova's Tollgate Process.
- Ensure design integrity and quality: Lead and review engineering analyses to confirm robust designs that meet all critical-to-quality (CTQ) requirements — applying your expertise in mechanical design fundamentals, material behavior, fatigue life (low-cycle fatigue/high-cycle fatigue), creep, finite element analysis (FEA), and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
- Shape platform strategy and technology advancement: Collaborate with Product Line, Application Engineering, Product Service, and System Integration Leads (SILs) to drive steampath and shaftline platform strategy, including technology enhancements and product structuring.
- Deliver with cross-functional excellence: Work seamlessly with Drafting, Sourcing, and Manufacturing teams to execute product lifecycle management (PLM) deliverables on time and with quality, while championing LEAN principles and continuous improvement.
- Elevate the customer experience: Lead customer-interface improvement initiatives, enhance installation and constructability documentation, and reduce project cycle time through higher-quality, more usable engineering outputs.
