Turbomachinery Design & Systems Engineer

About the Role

The Turbomachinery Design & Systems Engineer will own the mechanical design of the engine, from clean-sheet component layout through the analysis that proves the machine will survive in the field. You will design the rotors, stators, combustor, cases, and bearings, select the materials, and own how every piece fits together as one coherent power generation system.

You will define the interfaces between the mechanical, thermal, fuel, and control subsystems and make the calls that keep the whole machine integrated. You will run the structural, thermal, and rotordynamic analysis that decides when a part is ready to cut metal. And you will work directly with our suppliers and machinists to make sure what you draw can actually be built, repeatably, to drawing and spec.

This is a high-ownership role on a small team. The work you do will determine how durable, how manufacturable, and how fast we reach market.

What We're Looking For

• Experience in clean-sheet mechanical design of rotating machinery: gas turbines, turbochargers, turboshaft engines, turbopumps, or similar.
• Strong command of structural and thermal FEA and the judgment to know which loads actually matter.
• Hands-on material selection for hot, high-speed, high-cycle environments.
• You can move fast from conceptual sizing to detailed design without losing rigor, and you design for manufacturability from the first sketch.

Strongly preferred

• rotordynamics, LCF and HCF fatigue, creep life, and bearing load analysis.
• Direct experience with small gas turbines.
• A track record of taking hardware from clean sheet to running test article.
• Fluency working with machine shops and suppliers, and the ability to look at a part and know whether it can be made.
