Responsibilities:
- Design products for Gas Turbines based on field issues, manufacturing issues, simulation, test data, etc
- Refine and improve product designs by conducting root-cause analyses and provide resolutions
- Use geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) to determine tolerances of key components
- Derive simulation methods to understand if design meets pass/fail criteria
- Determine critical influencing parameters
- Conduct design reviews for components/sub-systems
- Own product development tasks such as supporting product quality improvements, supplier PPAPs, and corrective actions.
