About the Job

Requirements

  • Familiarity with the assembly and functions of complete gas turbine engines and individual subsystems.
  • Experience ensuring designs meet aviation regulatory compliance, safety, and certification standards.
  • Experience designing aero engine components, specifically low-pressure turbine (LPT) and high-pressure compressor (HPC) module components.
  • Experience developing and validating 3D computer-aided design models, 2D engineering drawings, and design documentation.
  • Experience with thermal and structural analysis, finite element analysis, 2D/3D modal analysis, mission profiles, and low-cycle and high-cycle fatigue life calculations.
  • Understanding and validation of CFR requirements.
  • Experience creating, evaluating, and approving Change in Design documents.
  • Understanding of metallurgical composition of raw materials and associated manufacturing processes.
  • Ability to analyze variations to engineering drawing specifications affecting part fit, form, and function, including tolerance stack-up, stress, metallurgical, nondestructive testing, and heat-transfer analyses.
  • Ability to understand, evaluate, and interpret part and manufacturing drawings, bills of materials, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
  • Understanding of intellectual property rights, patents, and applicable export-control and intellectual-property standards.
  • Understanding of high-end manufacturing equipment and processes, including casting, metal cutting, turning, coatings, milling, electrical discharge machining, welding, sheet metal and composite forming and joining, and metal tube bending.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office tools, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint, and good writing skills.
  • Graduate or postgraduate qualification in Mechanical, Industrial, or Aerospace Engineering.
  • Six or more years of hands-on experience with design fundamentals, design assessment, and manufacturing engineering.

  • Exposure to quality management systems.

Responsibilities

  • Lead conceptualization, design, and development of gas turbine engine components from fit, form, and assembly perspectives.
  • Model 3D geometry and perform complex thermal and structural analyses to predict component performance, repeatability, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with production teams to ensure components are producible and designed for manufacturing and assembly.
  • Lead team efforts to complete design tollgate reviews, including CDR, PDR, DDR, and CTH.
  • Participate in engine testing and data analysis, and troubleshoot issues to validate performance as part of testing and validation.
  • Analyze root causes, define task objectives, identify substantiation-plan activities across design, analysis, manufacturing, and maintenance, perform design activities, delegate other activities to the relevant leads, verify and validate results against objectives, and consolidate the final report for approval.
  • Collaborate with analysis, materials, and systems engineering teams to ensure design and repair feasibility and industrialization.
  • Identify customer pain points and convert them into offload opportunities.
  • Drive design-to-cost initiatives by assessing component- and system-level cost structures for economic viability.
  • Guide design reviews and technical decision-making.
  • Mentor junior engineers and support design excellence and continuous learning.
  • Prepare and deliver technical presentations to internal and external stakeholders, including leadership teams.
  • Ensure documentation and compliance with engineering policies, export control, and intellectual-property standards.
  • Promote communication and knowledge-sharing across teams to support continuous improvement.

Desired Qualifications

  • Working experience with aero engine component original equipment manufacturers is preferred.
