Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

As Mechanical Preliminary Design engineer in this organization, you will:

• Execute the mechanical design of advanced propulsion systems and components

• Create and evaluate engine cross-sections and components arrangements with inputs from a cross-functional team

• Define the preliminary sizing of turbomachinery components, mechanical systems and structures configuration using different techniques (from hand calculations or complete CAD-based models)

• Perform architecture feasibility studies and design exploration studies to define gas turbine engine mechanical configuration

• Apply the appropriate analysis and level of detail, from physics-based engineering judgment to FEA to deliver quick turnaround solutions that can serve as baseline for more detailed studies

• Integrate individual component elements into a larger system design considering the functional constrains (e.g. mechanical, electrical, thermal, aero, clearances, etc.).

• Define how components are assembled as part of a system or subsystem

• Roll-up component and system level weights ensuring the completeness and level of detail is adequate to the preliminary design phase

• Planning and continued reporting of own tasks work to be accomplished, providing visibility on methods and results, and managing schedule for the mechanical efforts

• Support internal and external customer data requests, ensuring proper documentation of all work

Qualifications/Requirements

• Master’s degree in engineering from an accredited University; Aerospace preferred

• Significant experience on mechanical design of gas turbine components

• Experienced in creation of engine layouts, feasibility checks, and trade studies of early engine concepts at engine and/or module level

• Experience with numerical methods (FEA) for analysis and preliminary sizing of turbomachinery

• Understanding of whole engine architecture trades impact into final system weight and installation

• Skilled in CAD modeling and product definition/configuration

• Familiarity with Research and Technology development processes

• Work VISA, according to local regulation, is required

• Fluency in English

Desired characteristics

• Familiar with various engine types and able to apply mechanical design approaches to new designs where appropriate

• Experience with different gas turbine modules/disciplines

• Can do attitude capable to manage uncertainty and changing environments

• Experience working with cross-functional teams in a multinational environment
