Department Overview:

The F135 Engine Core Update (ECU) Program consists of F-35 propulsion/engine modernization to meet aircraft upgraded Block-4 capability requirements.

Within the F135 ECU Program, the Engine Design & Systems Integration (ED&SI) is a dynamic engineering organization focused on the development and certification of military, commercial and industrial gas turbine engines.  

The Engine Design & Systems Integration (EDSI) organization is responsible for the integration of components, modules and sub-systems into world class commercial and military propulsion systems. This includes engine performance, operability, system level modeling and simulation, validation and verification of performance and operability requirements, and functional engine and air vehicle systems integration.  ED&SI also defines engine architecture, system and structural design as well as manages all requirements across the program. 

This position offers the candidate an excellent opportunity to build technical leadership in the aero-thermal analysis of air breathing propulsion systems.  In addition, it offers an opportunity to work with the P&W’s engineering development team experts while also leading less experienced employees.  Typical responsibilities are listed below:

Responsibilities:

• Technical ownership of the modeling of engine components for engine performance and operability analysis, including performance system matching, engine component assessments, performance and operability predictions, technical system audits, and control schedule definition integration.
• Creating, maintaining, and utilizing NPSS aero-thermal modeling code as a representation of the engine and other systems.  Responsible for troubleshooting model convergence and for general model health.
• Active participation in SA Discipline improvement activities and knowledge management. 
• Frequent interaction and integration work with other EDSI's Systems Analysis Groups, Module Centers, Controls, Instrumentation, IT and Hardware and Product Validation Groups to ensure that the propulsion system satisfies requirements. 
• Technical presentations to EDSIT and internal and external customers.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Aeronautical, Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering or related technical field
• A minimum 5 years of engineering experience or 3 years minimum experience with Advanced Degree in related technical field
• Results focus, teamwork, communication, analytical thinking, adaptability and continues learning are key competencies.
• Able to obtain and maintain a U.S Government Secret Level Security Clearance
• US Citizenship required due to government contracts

Preferred Qualifications:

• Competent with one or more of the following engineering disciplines or skills: Thermodynamics and engine performance/operability, gas dynamics, aircraft performance, statistics, functional integration, aerospace systems testing, and software design. 
• Practical experience with systems analysis tools (e.g. NPSS and C++ related programming language) is desired. 
• Strong communication, analytical, teaming skills, and the ability to work in a highly collaborative environment.
• Agile experience.
