This position is part of our Solutions, Platforms, Engineered Entry Level Rotation Program. The SPE Engineer rotation program provides the foundation for the future success of Solar Turbines engineers and the future success of the organization. The purpose of the program is to start the development and training of the next generation of well-rounded and highly competent engineers through an engineering rotation program.

This program prepares you for a challenging and rewarding engineering career. Rotation assignments vary for each individual and are decided upon between management and the employee based on the needs of the business. Work assignments can range from assisting in product development, software development, hands-on shop floor experiences, to Systems or Mechanical design. Each program consists of Four (4) Six-month Rotations in departments such as Systems Development, Product Maintenance, New Product Introduction, Software Development, Mechanical Development & Analysis, HMI Display Package, Controls Design, Mechanical Design, Product Certification, Hydro-Mechanical Design, and interfacing with critical non-engineering roles to develop an understanding of our product life cycle and how the business runs. A customer site visit is included to gain an understanding of the customer's needs and the field environment. Once the rotation program is nearing the end, management works with the engineer to align engineering organizational needs with which department they want to join for their long-term assignment.
