The High Pressure Turbine (HPT) Module Design Team is responsible for the design and operation of the HPT Module for the LM2500/LM6000/LMS100 Aeroderivative Engines. The team is made up of US individuals support the design of the HPT airfoils along with global teams supporting non-flowpath hardware. The LM6000 Design Team Lead will focus on the LM6000 product providing leadership to the team in assessing HPT component durability. The Design Team leader will also advance design improvements aligned with customer requirements and upgraded engine introductions throughout the HPT module.
As the LM6000 HPT Design Team Lead, you will play a key role in supporting and leading projects focused on improving component durability. You will need to implement lessons learned from other programs (including flight side), engine testing and fielded hardware experience findings into the next iteration of the component design. Other responsibilities for this role will include supporting component delivery efforts, assisting engine test assemblies, customer fleet support, and addressing durability challenges. The Design Team Lead will also help guide resources focusing on the overall HPT module health along with occasional component level design support on LMS100 and LM2500 engine platforms.
This position has the flexibility of optional hybrid schedule once fully trained. The hybrid schedule consists of working in the office minimum of 3 days per week and the option to work from home on the other days, based on team/project schedules.
