Technical Leader - Product Definition Engineering - Accessories Services Job Greenville area,South Carolina USA,Engineering

Accessories PDE Services Technical Leader

The Services Product Definition Engineering (PDE) team is responsible for the assembly and system integration of Gas Turbine Accessory System CAD models into Conversion, Modifications, and Uprates (CMU) projects. These projects are designed to improve the power output, running efficiency, and reliability of the existing Gas Turbine fleet. As the Accessories PDE Services Technical Leader, you will serve as both a senior technical contributor and team leader, helping deliver high-quality CAD definitions for piping, instrumentation, structural, and mechanical accessory systems.

This role carries a high degree of autonomy — you will define priorities, drive improvement initiatives, and shape how the team operates, with your recommendations directly influencing team strategy and KPIs. You will lead technical execution, strengthen team performance, and champion continuous improvement across operations, tools, and ways of working, working closely with design engineering, manufacturing, and cross-functional partners to solve complex technical challenges and support the digital transformation of engineering processes.

What You'll Do

Lead technical delivery and operational excellence by owning the quality and execution of CAD assembly work across Gas Turbine Accessory systems, ensuring designs meet project requirements and Bill of Materials (BOM) specifications. Set a high standard for operational excellence and foster a self-motivated culture of improving how work gets done.

Drive continuous improvement with significant ownership by applying Lean principles, leading Problem Solving Reviews (PSRs) on critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and proactively implementing improvements that increase throughput, first-pass yield, and team effectiveness. You will have the latitude to identify problems, propose solutions, and directly shape how the team improves over time.

Lead various planning and collaboration meetings — including Monday Morning Planning — to align priorities across multiple demand sources, escalate team roadblocks, and drive timely problem solving so the team can execute with clarity and focus.

Use data to improve performance by presenting weekly performance trends to the broader organization, clearly communicating progress and risks, and using data, analytics, and emerging technologies to deep dive into trends, identify root causes, and support informed decisions. Your analysis and recommendations will carry real influence on team priorities and strategy.

Mentor and develop the team by coaching technical skills and standard work, building training plans to address capability gaps, and recognizing team and individual accomplishments.

Enable digital transformation and technical oversight by supporting PLM platform transitions and AI-enabled workflows, leading CAD reviews for interface management, using Navisworks for clash detection and quality assurance, and providing expert guidance on high-complexity projects throughout the project lifecycle. With moderate autonomy, you will help define how new tools and processes are adopted across the team.

What You'll Bring

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or another STEM discipline (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), or an Associate degree with significant relevant Product Definition (CAD) experience
8+ years of Engineering and/or Product Definition (CAD) experience
Ability to work 100% onsite in Greenville, SC
Authorization to work in the United States without sponsorship now or in the future

Preferred Qualifications

Proficiency with NX or another advanced CAD platform
Experience with Dassault ENOVIA or Siemens Teamcenter PLM systems
Experience in Gas Turbine Accessory system design
Proficiency creating dashboards and reports using business intelligence and data visualization tools such as Microsoft Power BI and Tableau to analyze performance metrics and communicate insights effectively
Strong written and verbal communication skills across multiple levels of the organization
Demonstrated leadership, collaboration, and team development skills
Ability to prioritize high-impact work and adapt in a fast-paced environment

How You'll Work

You are someone who brings technical depth, sound judgment, and a continuous improvement mindset to the team. You take ownership of problems rather than waiting for direction, and you're comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy to drive meaningful outcomes. You enjoy solving complex problems, developing others, and creating clarity across competing priorities. You use data to guide action, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and look for better ways of working through process improvement and technology adoption — knowing your contributions will have a direct, visible impact on team performance and strategy.
