About the Role

The Turbomachinery Design & Systems Engineer will own the mechanical design of the engine, from clean-sheet component layout through the analysis that proves the machine will survive in the field. You will design the rotors, stators, combustor, cases, and bearings, select the materials, and own how every piece fits together as one coherent power generation system. You will define the interfaces between the mechanical, thermal, fuel, and control subsystems and make the calls that keep the whole machine integrated. You will run the structural, thermal, and rotordynamic analysis that decides when a part is ready to cut metal. And you will work directly with our suppliers and machinists to make sure what you draw can actually be built, repeatably, to drawing and spec. This is a high-ownership role on a small team. The work you do will determine how durable, how manufacturable, and how fast we reach market.

Responsibilities

Own the mechanical design of the engine, from clean-sheet component layout through analysis.
Design rotors, stators, combustor, cases, and bearings.
Select materials for engine components.
Define interfaces between mechanical, thermal, fuel, and control subsystems.
Run structural, thermal, and rotordynamic analysis.
Work directly with suppliers and machinists to ensure manufacturability.

Requirements

Experience in clean-sheet mechanical design of rotating machinery (gas turbines, turbochargers, turboshaft engines, turbopumps, or similar).
Strong command of structural and thermal FEA and the judgment to know which loads actually matter.
Hands-on material selection for hot, high-speed, high-cycle environments.
Ability to move fast from conceptual sizing to detailed design without losing rigor.
Design for manufacturability from the first sketch.
Rotordynamics, LCF and HCF fatigue, creep life, and bearing load analysis.
Direct experience with small gas turbines.
Track record of taking hardware from clean sheet to running test article.
Fluency working with machine shops and suppliers.
Ability to assess manufacturability of a part.

About the Company

American Turbines is designing small modular gas turbines, purpose-built for distributed power generation.
Machines designed from a blank sheet to be manufactured at scale, clustered in arrays.
Hundreds of units operating in parallel, dynamically matching load like a compute cluster matches demand.
A seed-stage company backed by the investors behind SpaceX, Boom Supersonic, and Hadrian.
