What You’ll Be Doing
- Design and sustain mechanical components and assemblies for integrated compressor platforms, ensuring performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
- Create 3D models and 2D drawings that clearly define component and system-level designs from concept through release.
- Analyze component designs to validate function, durability, and fit within complex electromechanical systems.
- Collaborate across engineering, manufacturing, and procurement to ensure designs are feasible to build, assemble, and service.
- Deliver complete design documentation that meets project milestones, quality standards, and certification requirements.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (master’s degree is a plus).
- Hands-on experience with 3D CAD tools (NX strongly preferred).
- Experience in product development or sustaining engineering, ideally with turbomachinery or rotating equipment.
- Working knowledge of Design for Manufacturing, including GD&T and dimensional controls.
- Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to contribute effectively within a project team.
- We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
- You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
- We strive to create an inclusive work environment where people of all backgrounds are respected, and valued for who they are.
- You’ll receive benefits like 13th salary, annual bonus, paid vacation, pension plans, personal insurance, and more. These vary by country and contract, but they’re worth asking about—we think they’re pretty great.
