Siemens Energy Internships
Siemens Energy Internships
Embedded Files
During my 2024 & 2025 summers, I had the privilege of working at Siemens Energy, a leading company in the energy transformation and production sector working to energize society.
As a mechanical engineering intern, I had the privilege of learning about energy transformation and production by analyzing and understanding gas and steam turbines alongside a global leader in energy technology. Through events such as the Siemens Energy users conference and site visits around the country (Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Casselberry, and Innovation Center repair facilities), I observed the impressive machines (gas turbines, steam turbines, generators, and their components) first-hand as well as the repair and evaluation processes that go into their service to ensure customer satisfaction.
Specifically, as part of the Gas Turbine Service Engineering team, I provided support in a multitude of projects ranging from programming tasks to risk analysis and design optimization. Here are a few of the projects I worked on:
Rotor Balancing
Rotor Balancing
I developed Python code using the Jupyter Lab environment to simulate rotor creation and manufacturing imperfections through random normal distributions. Using statistical analysis, we proved the most efficient balancing methodology. Proof and a new procedure were proposed through a technical design review with experts on the field.
Engineering Requests
Engineering Requests
I received and responded to engineering requests as the supervised assigned engineer for gas turbine service interval extensions, material substitution, and inspection procedures by evaluating and providing an accurate risk assessment for the customer.
Root Cause Analysis
Root Cause Analysis
Cracks were detected on an upgraded exhaust on multiple units. I validated through operational service history that relevant units with the upgrade were not affected by finding no indications. I used the PCM tool where field engineers and back office engineers communicate and communications are saved to determine affected units.
Corrosion Pitting Industrial Literature Research
Corrosion Pitting Industrial Literature Research
I was tasked with conducting industrial literature research to develop corrosion rejections limits for gas turbine compressor discs. Corrosion pitting proved to be an issue causing higher stress at pits leading to fractures and failure possibility.
I got the privilege to engage in site visits to the Siemens Energy Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Casselberry, and the Orlando Innovation Center facilities, collaborating with professionals in the field to gain insight and align my learnings with established practices. I got to witness first hand the parts and the fully assembled machines.
As an intern, communication with experienced teammates proved essential to learn the process and develop adequate solutions.
Most of the projects entailed multinational collaboration and coordination. Working alongside some of the world's most experienced engineers provided me with a perspective on tackling problems to develop safe and efficient solutions. Their mentorship, guidance, and support have been instrumental in my growth as a mechanical engineer. This was such an exciting and productive summer working with Siemens Energy.
Note: Most of my work at Siemens Energy is confidential which restricts certain files or comments from being included in this Portfolio.
