Shape the Future of Gas Turbine Technology

Design Liaison Engineer – Finite Element Analysis & Lifing

Onsite | Greenville, SC | 1st Shift | $61.71/hour (negotiation based on experience)

Make an Impact Where It Matters Most

Join PDS Tech Commercial, at a world‑class engineering environment supporting a global leader in the energy industry, where your expertise directly influences the performance, safety, and reliability of advanced gas turbine technology. As a Design Liaison Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in the evaluation and lifing of hot gas path components—helping deliver cutting‑edge solutions that power the world.

This is a highly collaborative, hands‑on role for engineers who thrive at the intersection of design, analysis, and manufacturing and who want their work to make a real, measurable impact.

What You’ll Do Day to Day

In this role, you’ll be trusted to apply your technical judgment and analytical skills across critical engineering activities, including:

• Perform mechanical lifing and finite element analyses on rotating gas turbine blades using ANSYS Classic

• Build, manipulate, and modify solid models using NX

• Analyze defects, assess failure modes, and evaluate component durability (LCF, HCF, creep)

• Post‑process results and clearly document and present findings to technical stakeholders

• Apply established mechanical design practices, templates, and engineering standards

• Partner cross‑functionally with design, manufacturing, and quality teams as a Design Liaison Engineer

• Support continuous improvement efforts by using engineering tools, lifing templates, and best practices

Required Qualifications

We’re looking for motivated engineers who bring both technical strength and collaborative spirit:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from an accredited university or college

• 2+ years of relevant engineering experience

• Hands‑on experience with:

  • ANSYS Classic and Finite Element Analysis

  • NX solid modeling

• Strong understanding of engineering mechanics and failure modes (LCF, HCF, creep)

• Experience designing or analyzing rotating machinery, ideally hot gas path components

• Excellent organizational, communication, and documentation skills

• A humble, open‑minded mindset with a passion for continuous learning

Note: This position is specifically for a Design Liaison Engineer. Candidates must meet the listed requirements to be considered.

What Will Make You Stand Out

While not required, the following experience will help you shine:

• Gas turbine engineering experience, particularly hot section or rotating blade components

• Manufacturing exposure, including advanced manufacturing processes

• Familiarity with lean manufacturing and statistical process control

• Background supporting HGP components

• A strong quality mindset with a focus on customer satisfaction

• Ability to build trust across teams and interfacing organizations

• Confidence to challenge the status quo and advocate for the best engineering solutions

• Strong teamwork, presentation, and interpersonal skills
