JOB SUMMARY
A Gas Turbine Case Engineer (or structural/mechanical engineer focused on casing) specializes in the design, analysis, and maintenance of the outer casing and structural frames of gas turbines. They ensure structural integrity, manage thermal growth/clearances, and prevent failures, often utilizing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to ensure reliability under high-temperature/pressure conditions.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The essential functions of the job include, but are not limited to the following:
Structural Design & Analysis: Design, modify, and analyze turbine casings, mounts, and structural components using CAD (e.g., Creo, NX, SolidWorks) and FEA software to meet structural, thermal, and pressure requirements.
Clearance & Tolerance Management: Perform tolerance stack-up analysis to ensure proper fits and clearances between rotating components and the static casing to optimize efficiency and prevent rub conditions.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Investigate casing failures, cracking, or deformation, performing FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and recommending repairs or design improvements.
Manufacturing Support: Provide engineering support to manufacturing teams regarding casting, machining, and material selection for casing parts, including evaluation of non-conforming hardware.
Field/Service Support: Perform site inspections, dimensional checks, and condition assessments to support maintenance planning, overhaul, and service life assessments.
Documentation: Maintain technical drawings, design standards, and technical reports regarding casing structural health.
MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
Typical Qualifications
Education: B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
Experience: 3+ years of experience in gas turbine design, structural analysis, or manufacturing.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in FEA tools (ANSYS, ABAQUS), CAD software, and understanding of high-temperature alloys and casting processes.
Key Competencies
In-depth knowledge of pressure vessel design principles and thermal stress management.
Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes (investment casting, machining).
Excellent technical communication skills for interfacing with vendors and field service teams
