• Low Cycle Fatigue (LCF) crack initiation and propagation
• Bolted joint behavior and strength evaluations
• Structural integrity assessments
• Retrieve and manage CAD models from PLM systems
• Modify and develop CAD models using Siemens NX
• Support design changes, defect evaluation, and root cause investigations
• Document and summarize analytical results with clear engineering justifications
• Support automation of repetitive engineering tasks using Python (as needed)
• Present technical findings during routine project review meetings
• Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and cross-functional engineering teams

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent)
• 6+ years of relevant mechanical design and analysis experience
• Hands-on experience with Ansys for structural and rotor FEA
• Strong proficiency in Siemens NX
• Experience with fatigue analysis, bolted joint design, and rotating equipment
• Ability to independently lead design tasks and provide technical direction

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in gas turbine or heavy industrial equipment design
• Familiarity with PLM systems
• Working knowledge of Python for automation
