Job Description:

Your Work Shapes the World at Caterpillar Inc.

When you join Caterpillar, you're joining a global team who cares not just about the work we do – but also about each other.  We are the makers, problem solvers, and future world builders who are creating stronger, more sustainable communities. We don't just talk about progress and innovation here – we make it happen, with our customers, where we work and live. Together, we are building a better world, so we can all enjoy living in it.

We are looking to hire an engineer to design components for Industrial Gas Turbines. The candidate should be able to work in an interdisciplinary team to design parts by collating ideas and making decisions using first principle thinking. The candidate must be willing to work on a wide variety of product development tasks such as design, simulation, testing, CPPD, DFMEA, PPAP etc.

The job role includes (but not limited to) the below:

• Design products for Gas Turbines based on field issues, manufacturing issues, simulation, test data, etc
• Refine and improve product designs by conducting root-cause analyses and provide resolutions
• Use geometric dimensioning & tolerancing (GD&T) to determine tolerances of key components
• Derive simulation methods to understand if design meets pass/fail criteria
• Determine critical influencing parameters
• Conduct design reviews for components/sub-systems
• Own product development tasks such as supporting product quality improvements, supplier PPAPs, and corrective actions.

This will be a client-facing role and has a major cross-functional responsibility (4-5 teams).

Education requirements:

• B.E. / B. Tech.  in Mechanical engineering (or equivalent) from an accredited engineering college with 3+ years of product development experience
• M.E. / M. Tech in Mechanical engineering (or equivalent) from an accredited engineering college with 2+ years of product development experience

Mandatory requirements are:

• 5 years of experience working with parts related to Gas turbines
• Strong in first principle thinking
• Clarity of thought and good communication skills – should be able to explain & present his/her ideas
• Excellent understanding of engineering basics (mechanics, GD&T, Tolerance Stack-up)
• Good in design concepting and parametric modelling
• Worked on failure analysis or root cause identification
• Tool knowledge - Creo, Windchill

Preferred requirements are:

• Good in basic simulations (FEA / CFD)
• Basic experience in data analytics for engineering applications (test / simulation / sensor data)
• Worked in manufacturing or production environment
• Basic knowledge of materials
• Tool knowledge - aPrioiri, ANSYS, PowerBI, Tableau, Minitab
