Job Description:
• Develop and deliver engineering solutions for gas turbine systems/sub-systems, including design definition, requirements capture, trade-off studies, and optimisation.
• Perform analyses (mechanical, thermal, lifing, vibration, durability) to substantiate component and system integrity, performance and lifecycle.
• Create and manage detailed design definitions such as CAD models, drawings (or model-based definitions), Dimensional tolerance stacks and GD&T.
• Support manufacturing, supply chain and service activities: review supplier documentation, assess non-conforming hardware, manage change proposals, support production or field operations.
• Investigate in-service or development hardware issues (failure analysis, root cause, corrective action), and feed learnings into design improvements.
• Collaborate across disciplines (systems, aerothermal, materials, manufacturing, testing) and present, defend and manage design solutions to leadership/stakeholders.
• Ensure compliance with applicable engineering standards, safety regulations and best practices (for example aerospace, defence or industrial GT contexts)
