Project / Mechanical Engineer

CTQ is a consortium of three well established engineering firms – CDI, TK Engineering, and QuEST.  CTQ is rapidly growing our engineering organization in Greenville, SC.  QuEST is the lead organization with respect to our large multinational customer in Greenville.



CTQ engineers will implement design improvements on gas turbine engines from cradle to grave – from idea to validation through production.  CTQ engineers also perform fatigue life assessments – typically driven by thermal stress plus mechanical loading – using ANSYS FEA, and performing LCF, HCF, creep, and burst calculations on various turbine engine components. 



This is an interesting opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a growing organization performing challenging technical work on an interesting, high tech, product line. 





Position Description:



In this role you will work in a gas turbine product design team as a Project/Mechanical Engineer. You will work with customer and inter-company design engineers, structural analysts, CAD modelers, and manufacturing engineers to develop new product definition for gas turbine components.



The ideal candidate will have a background in gas turbines and experience in the various functions of design such as conceptual design, 3D model creation, design validation, production drawings, design reviews, and drawing documentation. In addition to a robust mechanical engineer base, a successful candidate will be experienced in developing and managing to successful projects. 



The ideal candidate must also possess a positive attitude and strong customer service.





Responsibilities:

Must have the ability to work successfully and closely with customer employees. Generate creative designs, improvements and solutions for implementing in advanced gas turbines. Review design concepts and approaches/alternatives. Prepare conceptual designs or layouts for CAD modelers. Perform hand calculations for initial design definition. Help develop and review production drawings. Ensure that designs conform to standard design practices and that design records are maintained in accordance with procedures. Identify and implement design process improvements. Work with manufacturing, sourcing and suppliers to meet product cost targets. Support component and field validation testing. Must have the ability to direct the work of both global and domestic analysts, Co-ops, interns, and less senior design, manufacturing, and project engineers.





Basic Requirements:

Strong communication, organizational skills and ability to interact closely with CTQ customers. A minimum of 2 years experience performing mechanical design or structural analysis, preferably within the power generation or aerospace fields.  The preferred candidate will have been through the complete design cycle, from conceptual design to field support, on multiple parts, components, or assemblies.  Manufacturing/production engineering experience with metal processing such as forging, casting, machining, special processes, assembly or fabrication preferred. Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical (BSME) or Aeronautical Engineering (BSAE) Familiarity with ANSYS and FEA methods Proficient with UniGraphics, SolidWorks or other 3D-system Professional work characteristics and appearance Proficient with Project or project management techniques. US Citizen or Permanent Resident.





Compensation:

A competitive base salary is available, depending on the qualifications and experience of the candidate.  This position qualifies for full benefits: medical insurance, dental, disability, life insurance, 401(K), tuition reimbursement, 2 weeks paid vacation, and 10 paid holidays.
