Job Description:

The Hot Section Engineering CMC Acceleration Team is currently looking for highly motivated Durability Engineers to join the team. You will have demonstrated expertise in performing heat transfer, fluid flow, CFD and optimization analyses. Additional responsibilities will include mission life and validation analyses.

CMC Acceleration Team Durability Engineers are responsible for developing and implementing the analysis of oxidation, spallation, and creep life of CMC components to enable broad design exploration for the study of various CMC designs and architectures. Technical assessments and analyses of other life limiting mechanisms will be necessary to support the Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). The Durability Engineer’s ability to solve technical problems quickly, offer design options, and demonstrate design sensitivities through analysis will be integral to the success of team.

•This role offers an unrivaled opportunity to participate in a multi-disciplinary team in a lean, hyper-focused environment. The role offers meaningful and rewarding career development and broadening opportunities for an Engineer looking for a career in the development and implementation of emerging technologies in future P&W products.

•Durability Engineers get to provide immediate feedback on the design and cooling configurations of components, starting with concept initiation/optimization, enhancing their own skills while also learning from other disciplines.

•A core function of all Durability Engineers is to participate on an IPT, collaborating with multiple disciplines to provide design solutions that balance customer requirements for structures, performance, cost and weight while advancing the state of CMC technology.

This is an Onsite role

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Mechanical or Aerospace engineering

• 5+ years of practical experience in an engineering field or 3+ years with an Master's degree or 1+ years with PHD

• US Citizenship required due to government contracts

Preferred:

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM)

• Active security clearance preferred

• Knowledge of Ceramic Matrix Composite materials

• Experience in Turbine Durability, Heat Transfer, or computational Fluid Dynamics

• Familiarity with finite element analysis, material science, structures, lifecycle/lifing or Wiebull Analysis

• Turbine airfoil design

• Knowledge of airfoil lifing failure modes and mission life modeling for typical airfoil limiting modes such as oxidation, creep, corrosion, and TMF

• Proven experience in leading airfoil failure/root cause investigations.

• Strong engineering problem solving skills

• A desire to lead and enable transformation within the organization

In addition to transforming the future of flight, we are also transforming how and where we work. We’ve introduced role types to help you understand how you will operate in our blended work environment. This role is:

                        Hybrid: Employees who are working in Hybrid roles will work regularly both onsite and offsite. This means that responsibilities of the job need to be performed onsite on a regular basis.

Candidates will learn more about role type and current site status throughout the recruiting process. For onsite and hybrid roles, commuting to and from the assigned site is the employee’s personal responsibility.
