Lead Engineer — Gas Turbine Component Reverse Engineering
QuEST Global
Job Requirements
Job Summary:
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.
Who we are looking for
We are not counting years of experience. We are looking for capability.
If you are exceptional, your background and experience level will not hold you back — we will place you in a leadership role and back you to deliver. Even if you are early in your career but have the instincts, the curiosity and the rigor of a seasoned engineer, we want to hear from you.
We are looking for a mechanical engineer who understands gas turbine components deeply enough to take an existing part, interrogate it, and reverse engineer it to a fully defined, manufacturable design. Someone who can work from physical hardware, legacy drawings, material evidence and operational context — and produce design documentation that stands up to engineering scrutiny.
If your experience begins and ends with modelling or drafting, this role is not for you. If you have owned a design problem from first principles through to a defined output — and have the thinking to show for it — read on.
What you will do
- Reverse engineer gas turbine components from physical hardware, reference drawings and operational data
- Define functional and operational requirements from evidence rather than specification
- Generate and evaluate design concepts, conduct trade-off studies and justify design decisions
- Produce detailed design documentation with DFM, cost engineering and process quality in mind
