What You'll Do

As a Mechanical Design Engineer II, you'll take ownership of component modifications and support products throughout the design-to-manufacturing lifecycle. Key responsibilities include:

Engineering & Design

• Lead mechanical design modifications and cost reduction initiatives for combustion-related hardware.

• Review supplier quotations and sourcing proposals for design improvement opportunities.

• Develop cost models using tools such as Apriori or similar engineering estimation platforms.

• Create and modify 3D models, engineering drawings, and product definitions using NX and related design tools.

• Generate and maintain PLM Bills of Materials (BOMs) and engineering change documentation.

• Support hardware procurement, manufacturing, assembly, and product implementation activities.

• Collaborate with drafting, sourcing, manufacturing, aerodynamic, heat transfer, materials, repair, and value engineering teams.

• Work directly with suppliers to evaluate manufacturability, cost savings opportunities, and design feasibility.

Manufacturing & Product Support

• Provide engineering support to manufacturing operations and shop floor teams.

• Evaluate and disposition non-conforming hardware.

• Support supplier qualification processes and manufacturing readiness activities.

• Review Supplier Deviation Requests (SDRs) and engineering change impacts.

• Track modified components through assembly, validation, and fleet introduction phases.

• Help ensure designs meet quality, performance, and production requirements.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Engineering, or a related technical discipline from an accredited university.

• Experience with:

  • NX (Mechanical Modeling and Routing Modules)

  • Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and Drafting

  • PLM systems

  • GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing)

  • Engineering drafting standards and tolerance stack-up fundamentals

  • ANSYS Classic

• Strong mechanical design and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative engineering environment.

• Comfortable working onsite full-time in Greenville, SC.

• Ability to participate in a comprehensive in-person interview process.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing, analyzing, or manufacturing gas turbine combustion components, including:

  • Fuel nozzles

  • End covers

  • Casings

  • Caps and liners

  • Transition pieces

  • Flow sleeves

  • TP aft frames

  • Crossfire tubes

• Familiarity with gas turbine combustion systems and associated engineering practices.

• Knowledge of advanced lifing methods, design methodologies, and engineering tools used within large-scale energy equipment environments.

• Experience supporting product development through manufacturing and field implementation.

Why Join Us?

This is more than a design role. It's an opportunity to contribute to technologies that power industries, communities, and economies around the world.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

• Work with a globally recognized innovator in energy and power generation technology.

• Contribute to meaningful projects that influence the future of sustainable and efficient energy solutions.

• Collaborate with highly skilled engineers and technical experts across multiple disciplines.

• Gain exposure to complex, large-scale engineering programs and advanced manufacturing processes.

• Competitive pay rate of $53.15 per hour.
