Thermal Spray & Coatings Engineer – Gas Turbines

A Snapshot of Your Day

Shape the future as a Coating Engineer at the heart of our Turbine Design organization!

In this highly collaborative role, you’ll bridge design, manufacturing, and sourcing to bring cutting-edge coating technologies from concept to reality. From supporting new turbine component development to qualifying thermal spray and high-temperature coating processes and resolving manufacturing nonconformances, your work will directly impact performance, quality, and manufacturability across our turbine portfolio.

You’ll work with coating technologies and applications that may include thermal spray, plasma spray, APS, HVOF, thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), MCrAlY coatings, and other advanced surface-engineering technologies used on gas turbine hot-gas-path components.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Support coating technology industrialization into the coating supply base, including thermal spray and advanced coating processes
• Conduct and support coating qualifications of turbine hot-gas-path components, including blades, vanes, combustors, and other turbine components
• Evaluate in-process manufacturing and coating-process data with respect to design intent
• Ensure new components follow the principles of design for manufacturing
• Draft and revise product definition as well as design for manufacturing philosophies
• Support production issue resolution and quality and cost improvements involving coating processes, materials, and manufacturing

What You Bring

• Bachelors degree in Materials Engineering, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Typically, 5+ years of relevant professional experience in thermal spray, coatings, surface engineering, high-temperature materials, or related materials/process engineering. Candidates with less experience may be considered with strong directly relevant experience.
• Experience with thermal spray or related coating technologies, such as APS, HVOF, plasma spray, TBCs, MCrAlY, or similar coating systems.
• Experience with gas turbines, aerospace propulsion, turbomachinery, rotating equipment, or other high-temperature component applications is preferred.
• Experience with coating qualification, process development, industrialization, manufacturing, or supplier qualification is highly valued.
• Ability to work collaboratively across engineering, manufacturing, quality, sourcing, and external suppliers.
• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without need for current or future employer-sponsored work authorization. Siemens Energy employees with current visa sponsorship may be eligible for internal transfers.

Export Control Requirement (ECC): Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
