Gas Turbine Component Design Engineer

<strong>Job Requirements </strong><br><p>Job Summary:</p><p>We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Designer with strong Siemens NX expertise to support Gas Turbine part development and reverse engineering programs for a leading Gas Turbine Services client. The role involves converting legacy data, physical parts, and scan/CMM data into high-quality designs, while ensuring material compatibility, manufacturability, and intellectual property (IP) compliance across repair, MRO, and new part development activities.</p><p> </p><p><strong style="color: black;">Who we are looking for</strong></p><p><span style="color: black;">We are not counting years of experience.
