What are the responsibilities and job description for the Head of Product Design Engineering - Gas Turbine Compressor (HYBRID) position at Siemens Energy?
A Snapshot of Your Day
As Head of Compressor Flow Path Design (MOD CP COD), you will lead and inspire a globally distributed organization of design engineers, product definers, configuration management professionals, and compressor experts across the U.S. and Germany. You’ll set the direction for performance, quality, and on-time delivery while fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and strong transatlantic collaboration.
You’ll own end‑to‑end responsibility from concept through service for the design and configuration of compressor module hardware, including blades and vanes, rotors, and casings. Acting as the primary point of contact for the SGT6‑5000F compressor module, you’ll work closely with manufacturing teams on in‑house components, guiding technical decisions related to use, repair, or scrap when deviations arise.
In this role, you’ll serve as a critical connector across frame, service, and engine‑level organizations, partnering with Product Management, Technical Excellence, Service Engineering, Product Integration, Manufacturing, Procurement, and Program Management to deliver high‑impact gas turbine solutions. You’ll play a pivotal role in developing talent, strengthening technical capability, and driving continuous improvement, while aligning global execution with Siemens Energy’s commitment to reliable, sustainable energy solutions.
How You’ll Make An Impact
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
About The Team
Our Gas Services division offers Low-emission power generation through service and decarbonization.
