A Snap Shot of your Day:

Siemens Energy is looking for an experienced mechanical or aerospace engineer with background in Structural Integrity to lead technology programs in support of existing and new Large Gas Turbine designs.

The Technology group is responsible for developing the advanced failure prediction methods for materials at high temperatures. We are seeking candidates with a research background in failure analysis and structural integrity who enjoy solving problems and coming up with innovative solutions to unique problems. As part of a global support team, you will be working on a wide range of applications to develop life prediction methods which have a direct impact on company decisions.

Your daily work will include development and validation of new methods, coordinating both standard and innovative material testing, and creating new calculation codes to test application on FEA results with complex loading.

How You’ll Make an Impact

+ Planning, developing, and implementing gas turbine mechanical integrity and component lifing technologies

+ Evaluation of new and old designs to identify testing and calculation requirements necessary for continuously improve life predictions such as fatigue, creep, and fracture mechanics

+ Developing new life calculation methods to capture the complex thermal and mechanical loading exhibited in turbine blades and vanes

+ FEA application of anisotropic and inelastic properties to sub and component models for testing methods and properties

+ Statistical curve fitting of test data and assessment of data distribution impact on component designs

+ Probabilistic evaluations of full calculation process, including variations in material properties, component loading, and engine operation to define appropriate safety margins

+ Conducting fleet validation of new methods and properties for maturity to design utilization

+ Developing enhanced surrogate lifing methods for maximizing efficiency during design iteration process

+ Coordination of work packages with required interface teams in matrix organization

+ Preparation of Engineering documents and presentation of technical results

+ Ensuring overall success of design projects for time, cost and quality

What You Bring

+ PhD in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or related field

+ BS or MS in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering or related field and 5 years’ experience in Gas Turbine industry

+ Advanced knowledge of failure modes such as LCF, TMF and creep

+ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experience and basic understanding of elements, boundary conditions, simulation types, and application of inelastic properties

+ Experience with lab testing, or coordination, to characterize material properties and corresponding statistical distributions

+ Strong background in data analysis, curve fitting, and statistics

+ Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experience (Ansys, Abaqus, or similar)

+ Highly motivated, proactive and self-directed

+ Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications:

+ Knowledge of gas turbine component design and analysis

+ Experience in mesh generation and defining boundary conditions in NX, ANSYS classic/APDL and Simcenter 3D

+ Programming experience (Matlab, Python, C/C++, JAVA, Linux, etc.)

+ Characterization of Nickel superalloys

+ Understanding of microstructure and impact on failure modes

+ Background of probabilistic simulations with multiple parameter variations
