Lead Steam Turbine Structural Engineer

Steam turbines are at the heart of some of the worlds most efficient and cleanest power combined-cycle plants they enable peak efficiency support carbon-neutral fuels including hydrogen and lay the groundwork for carbon capture integration. The engineering behind them is precise complex and consequential.

As Lead LP (Low Pressure) Hood Engineer on GE Vernovas Steam Turbine Engineering team you will own the design of LP Hood components and crossover piping for combined-cycle steam turbines from concept through execution. You will work across a global network of engineers manufacturing teams and supply chain partners and you will play an active role in developing the junior engineers around you. This is a role where technical depth and collaborative leadership go hand in hand.

• Own Low-Pressure 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 shaft line system subsystem component and material levels
• Collaborate with cross-functional global teams including steam path 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
• Contribute to Research Technology and Standards (RTS) and New Product Introduction (NPI) activities as required

You are an experienced mechanical or turbomachinery engineer with a solid foundation in steam turbine component design someone who is ready to take ownership of a critical system and help shape how the next generation of engineers grows into their roles.

Required

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline
• Significant experience in engineering technology or systems engineering with strong mechanical design fundamentals (material properties statics strength of materials FEA)
• Engineering experience in steam turbine design or structural design and/or operability including familiarity with turbine component design processes tools and procedures
• Proficiency in English

Preferred

• FEA capability with commercial simulation tools
• Experience with stationary steam turbine component design
• Familiarity with the full manufacturing process: fabrication machining and factory assembly/testing as applied to power generation equipment
• Knowledge of gas turbines or other turbomachinery products
• Proficiency in a second language (German French Spanish or Polish preferred)
