What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Mechanical Integrity Engineer for Technology Projects position at Siemens Energy?
A Snapshot of Your Day
Siemens Energy is looking for an experienced mechanical or aerospace engineer with a background in Structural Integrity to develop advanced technologies supporting the design, manufacturing, and service of Gas Turbine components exposed to extreme temperatures.
The Technology group is responsible for developing failure prediction methods for materials at elevated temperatures to meet next generation energy requirements. We are seeking candidates with a research background in failure analysis and structural integrity who enjoy solving problems and coming up with innovative solutions to unique problems. As part of a global support team, you will be working on a wide range of applications to develop life prediction methods which have a direct impact on company decisions.
Your daily work will include development and validation of new methods, supporting standard and innovative material testing, and developing new calculation codes to test applications to FEA with complex and probabilistic loading conditions.
How You’ll Make An Impact
What You Bring
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. Zero or low emission power generation and all gas turbines under one roof, steam turbines and generators. Decarbonization opportunities through service offerings, modernization, and digitalization of the fleet.
Who is Siemens Energy?
At Siemens Energy, we are more than just an energy technology company. With ~100,000 dedicated employees in more than 90 countries, we develop the energy systems of the future, ensuring that the growing energy demand of the global community is met reliably and sustainably. The technologies created in our research departments and factories drive the energy transition and provide the base for one sixth of the world's electricity generation.
Our global team is committed to making sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy a reality by pushing the boundaries of what is possible. We uphold a 150-year legacy of innovation that encourages our search for people who will support our focus on decarbonization, new technologies, and energy transformation.

How You’ll Make An Impact
- Developing new life calculation methods to capture the complex thermal and mechanical loading conditions exhibited in turbine blades and vanes for an industry leader in this technology
- Evaluation of component casting defects and nonconformance based on material properties and probabilistic lifing
- Statistical curve fitting of test data and assessment of material variation impacts on component design
- Probabilistic evaluations of full calculation process, including variations in material properties, component loading, and engine operation to define appropriate safety margins
- Conducting fleet validation of new fatigue, creep, and fracture mechanics methods and properties for maturity to design utilization
What You Bring
- Master’s or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering preferred, with a minimum of 3–5 years of related experience strongly preferred. Candidates with a Bachelors degree will be considered if they possess a strong, directly related background and relevant experience.
- Advanced knowledge of failure modes such as fatigue, creep and fracture mechanics
- Experience evaluating microstructure or geometry impacts on material life
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) experience and basic understanding of elements, boundary conditions, simulation types, and application of inelastic properties
- Experience with lab testing, or coordination, to characterize material properties and corresponding statistical distributions
- Strong background in data analysis, curve fitting, and statistics
- Highly motivated, proactive and self-directed
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Knowledge of gas turbine component design and analysis
- Programming experience (MATLAB, Python, C/C , JAVA, Linux, etc.)
- Characterization of Nickel superalloys
- Understanding of microstructure and impact on failure modes
- Background of probabilistic simulations with multiple parameter variations
