Job Description SummaryThe GE Vernova Gas Power Heat Exchanger department is globally responsible for the order execution of heat exchangers being integral part of GE`s combined cycle power plant applications (i.e. Condenser, District heater, Feedwater tank with deaerator, Atmospheric drain vessel, water/water cooler) as well as for gas turbine accessories coolers.

As Heat Exchanger Thermo-Mechanical Engineer (m/f/d), you will maintain and develop HEX engineering design in-house tools. You will also be responsible for designing heat exchanger products and for the technical content of calculations for mechanical equipment sizing. You will perform thermal design and mechanical integrity assessment of the various heat exchangers, including thermal-transient lifetime analysis. You will also contribute to Design Practices for thermal and mechanical design of heat exchangers. You will be focusing on applying Finite Element Analysis methods to optimize heat exchanger design competitiveness and contribute to product cost improvement.
