KEY RESPONSIBLITIES
The engineer will be a module leader who will provide technical direction for all analyses performed on static structural components and systems for an exciting new gas turbine engine development program. Responsibilities include guiding the analysis, design, development, and test planning for static structural components to meet requirements for life, cost, weight, maintainability, and durability. The module leader will direct trade studies to inform engine architecture decisions.
Openings exist for the following engine modules:
Compressor: includes structural design of engine cases, flow path components, and a variable vane actuation system
Combustor & Turbine: includes engine cases, nozzles, seals, heat shields, and transition of advanced technology component concepts to production readiness
Bypass Ducts, Exhaust, & Externals: includes inner and outer bypass ducts, plumbing, and brackets.
The module leader must be adept at overseeing strength, vibration, fatigue, containment, heat transfer, deflection, and clearance analyses. In addition, the module leader will be responsible for ensuring that analysis results are presented clearly and effectively in design reviews and documented in reports to meet program deliverables and requirements. The lead engineer must have experience performing complex Finite Element Analyses (i.e., contact, preloaded fasteners, modal and forced vibration) to provide the necessary problem-solving guidance to the team. They may also at times be called upon to perform some analyses of key components themselves.
Driving process transformation to reduce design cost and cycle time is an important aspect of the position.
YOU MUST HAVE:
Requires a Bachelor's degree in engineering and 8+ years of experience in the field or in a related area.
WE VALUE
