Job Description Summary
Power Train Dynamics and Diagnostics (PTDD) is a global team which is responsible for vibration aspects of the entire scope of Gas Power rotating equipment, including Gas Turbines, Steam Turbines, Generators, and interfacing systems. With a commitment to a complete product lifecycle, PTDD drives a successful integration of rotating and stationary components in a power train shaft-line (NPI, ITO, OTR) together with a technical leadership to support data driven and physics-based resolution of vibration field issues (RCA, ER, NCR).
As a Senior Engineer on the PTDD team, you will directly support our customers by resolving issues (ER, RCA) for vibration, power train dynamics, and operability issues affecting rotating components (Gas Turbine, Steam Turbine, Generators). You will drive process rigor, mentor engineers, and drive both data- and model-based solutions, bridging customers, field insights, and design team capabilities to deliver durable, fleet-wide reliability improvements.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
- Lead and own complex RCAs with significant customer-specific or fleet-wide impact, owning the end-to-end process from problem definition and data acquisition through root cause validation and CAPA implementation in a timely manner
- Drive cross-functional problem-solving and corrective action related activities across interfacing organizations including product line, service shops, manufacturing, sourcing, field teams, and design engineering to ensure aligned and effective resolution, mitigating risk and improving product robustness
- Communicate issue resolution progress, technical findings, risk assessments, and corrective actions across all organizational levels, from field engineers to executive leadership both internally and externally
- Define investigation strategies, guiding hypothesis development, validating analytical and field evidence, and mentoring engineers in best-practices for both ER and RCA workstreams
