Airfoil Thermal Design Engineer - Hybrid

Job Description Summary

As a member of the Aero, Thermal, and Clearances Design team (ATCD), you will contribute to system-level design and analysis of turbo machinery hardware and architectures for our heavy-duty gas turbine engines, with a focus on airfoil thermal performance, cooling, and sealing. Your work may include detailed thermal, flow, and CFD analyses to meet defined design constraints. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to support the full product life cycle, including new design introduction, engine validation testing, and resolution of issues in the customer fleet.

• Design and analyze thermal/fluid aspects of heavy-duty gas turbine rotating and stationary hardware using GE Vernova’s in-house analysis tools and commercial CFD/FEA software, while developing autonomy in problem‑solving under the guidance of a technical leader.
• Ensure designs and methods meet established requirements for GE Vernova engineering standard work (design practices and design templates).
• Support gas turbine design activities from early conceptual design through final detailed design, as well as manufacturing qualification activities.
• Support gas turbine engine testing including test planning, test execution and monitoring, and post‑test validation analyses.
• Support the installed gas turbine fleet by addressing manufacturing issues, improving product cost and durability through design improvements, and resolving customer issues through root‑cause analyses and corrective actions.
• Collaborate closely with the cross‑functional engineering teams to ensure successful project execution.
• Document, report, and review designs and analyses with team members, internal customers, and leadership.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline (Mechanical, Aerospace, or similar).
• Minimum 4years of relevant engineering experience.
• Knowledge of technical data subject to U.S. government export control restrictions; only U.S. persons (citizens, lawful permanent residents, or protected individuals) may apply. Proof of status will be required prior to employment.

• At least 3years of engineering design experience in gas turbine engines.
• Advanced degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, with a focus on thermal sciences.
• Demonstrated understanding of heat transfer design methods, gas turbine systems, and aerodynamics.
• Experience with relevant design/analysis tools including CAD (NX), FEA (Ansys), and CFD.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to simplify complex topics into clear and concise learnings and actions.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in multi‑disciplinary teams and to understand the needs of internal and external customers.
• Requirement to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export‑controlled information from the U.S. Government.
