Mechanical Design Engineer II - Rotating Machinery (Onsite)

We are seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for high-speed rotating machinery to support the design, analysis, and development of advanced turbomachinery operating in compressible flow environments. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of performance, mechanical integrity, and real-world hardware.  

You will contribute across the full product lifecycle from early design and detailed analysis to testing, qualification, and production support playing a key role in advancing our rotating machinery product line. Success in this position requires a strong foundation in mechanical design principles, including structural analysis, material behavior, and an appreciation for how components perform under demanding operating conditions.  

As part of a collaborative engineering team, you will apply sound engineering judgment, work closely with cross-functional partners, and help translate analytical results into robust, manufacturable designs that perform reliably in service.  

What You Will Do  

• Execute, coordinate, and oversee all aspects of mechanical design for turbomachinery programs  

• Support root cause investigations and develop innovative approaches to solving complex engineering challenges  

• Document design activity and complex analyses for a wide range of audiences including technical experts, management, and executive leadership 

• Participate in multidisciplinary team engaged in the design and development of new technologies and system architectures to achieve optimal performance  

• Support prototype and production development testing activities  

• Maintain, improve, and develop techniques, methods, and standards for mechanical design of turbomachinery  

• Identify opportunities to improve engineering processes, tools, technologies, and quality control standards 

Qualifications You Must Have  

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 2 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field 

• Prior engineering experience within aerospace, automotive, power generation or manufacturing environments.   

Qualifications We Prefer   

• Working knowledge of mechanical design and analysis principles, including structural strength, stress, and basic material behavior 

• Proficiency with 3D CAD modeling tools such as Unigraphics NX or equivalent software   

• Exposure to finite element analysis (FEA) for mechanical design using tools such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, or NASTRAN 

• Competency in rotor dynamic design and experience supporting analysis using tools such as XLRotor, ANSYS, or ARMD 

• Familiarity with programming or scripting languages (e.g. python, MATLAB, C++, etc.)  

• Foundational knowledge of turbomachinery concepts, including elements of aerodynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer 

• Basic understanding of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis, and exposure to software such as ANSYS Fluent, or StarCCM+  

• Familiarity with various manufacturing processes including assembly of precision components, machining process capability, casting, and plastic molding practices
