Jobid=92e5f71f98e8 (0.0178)

We are seeking a highly skilled Mechanical Design Engineer to join our gas turbine development team. The successful candidate will play a key role in the design and optimization of advanced gas turbine engines, focusing on critical components such as mixed-flow compressor stages (centrifugal and axial), high-speed rotor shafts, and advanced bearing systems.

At Destinus , we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness.

What You’ll Do

  • Design & Development
    • Design and optimize gas turbine components, including mixed centrifugal and axial compressor stages, rotor shafts, and bearing systems, ensuring high performance and reliability.
    • Analyze and address the thermomechanical behavior of materials under extreme operating conditions to guide material selection and design decisions.
    • Define and implement precise tolerances, fits, and clearances to ensure performance and manufacturability of high-speed assemblies.
    • Incorporate design for manufacturability and assembly principles into all stages of the design process.
  • Analysis & Validation
    • Perform stress analyses to assess structural integrity and reliability of components under thermal and mechanical loads.
    • Collaborate with testing teams to validate designs, interpret test results, and make iterative improvements.
    • Use analytical tools such as FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to supplement design decisions when needed.
  • Collaboration & Documentation
    • Partner with aerodynamics, materials, and manufacturing teams to align designs with performance and production goals.
    • Generate detailed technical documentation, including CAD models, engineering drawings, and design reports.
    • Contribute to design reviews, presenting technical insights and rationale for engineering decisions.

Requirements

What You’ll Need

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in the design and development of gas turbines or high-performance rotating machinery.
  • Strong understanding of material properties and behavior in high-temperature, high-stress environments.
  • Proficiency in precision tolerancing, fits, and mechanical design principles for rotating assemblies.
  • Experience performing stress analyses and interpreting results to inform design improvements.
  • Knowledge of rotordynamics and high-speed bearing systems for turbomachinery is a plus.
  • Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX), use of FEA tools is highly desirable.
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing processes, materials, and assembly techniques for gas turbines.
  • Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with industry standards and best practices in gas turbine design and validation.

Who You Are

You are a highly skilled Mechanical Design Engineer with a passion for precision and innovation in gas turbine technology.

Benefits

  • The Thrill of the Future – Work on cutting-edge projects that redefine aerospace.
  • Global Innovation Hub – Collaborate with top engineers from all over the world.
  • Fast-Paced & High-Growth – Experience the rush of working in a rapidly expanding company.
  • Real Impact – Your work won’t be theoretical—it will shape the future of flight.
