At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide technical expertise and work with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to characterize (including composition, structure, thermal and mechanical properties over long time frames in a range of relevant environments) next generation advanced materials for current and future propulsion systems
• Work closely with manufacturing and engineering Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to develop new process parameters, achieving targeted product improvements
• Collaborate with process engineers and modeling engineers to model improved materials and provide data for model validation
• Participate in root cause analysis when required for abnormal processes, material composition or performance
• Develop creative solutions to resolve challenges or improve material performance including filing for patents or documenting trade secrets as applicable
• Establish robust methods for verifying material performance in a production environment to ensure high product integrity
• Develop methods for assessing materials after test and flight service exposures.  Use this data to assist in further development of test methods and establishment of acceptance criteria during maintenance, repair and overhaul.
• Define simulation project requirements and objectives, generate statements of work, define timelines and ensure on-time completion of projects.
• Accountable for producing professional analysis summary reports. Trusted to work on multiple simulation projects simultaneously with limited supervision.
• Develop and implement modeling solutions, subsequently conducting studies and evaluation of system and subsystem performance.
• Ability to verify and validate simulation with experimental results.

Basic qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related STEM degree and 10+ years of relevant experience, or
• An Advanced Degree in a related field and 7+ years of relevant experience
• Experience working with computational design and analysis tools such as Fluent, Abaqus, Ansys, COMSOL multi-physics and Matlab/Python
• Understanding of fundamental physics behind modeling methodology
• Experience developing and presenting technical presentations.
• Strong oral and written communication skills
• US Citizen or US Person due to government contracts

Preferred qualifications:

• Advanced degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science or a related STEM degree
• Experience with polymer, metal or ceramic matrix composites modeling experience
• Experience with modeling, simulation and/or statistical analysis of the behavior and performance of existing or proposed engineering solutions
• Experience in material and process development for ceramic matrix composites, or other advance ceramic systems with complex microstructure requirements
• Demonstrated expertise of ceramic property-process-microstructure relationships
• Knowledge and effective practice of Environmental, Health and Safety requirements
• Knowledge and effective practice of aerospace quality practices like AS9100 and/or ISO9001

What is my role type?

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:

Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite. This includes all production and maintenance workers, as they are essential to the development of our engines.

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.

The salary range for this role is 112,000 USD - 236,000 USD; however, Raytheon Technologies considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, education/training, and key skills.

Raytheon Technologies is An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability or veteran status, age or any other federally protected class.
