Discover opportunities to make a difference at RTX.  

Mechanical Power Conversion (MPC) has an exciting opportunity for a driven and ambitious future leader. Mechanical Power Conversion is growing due to high customer demand and needs a Fuel/Oil Pump Mechanical Engineering Co-Op working in the fuel and oil pump product line. Our engineering Co-Ops provide support to the pump design, analysis, testing, and verification / validation.  MPC is on the lookout for an ambitious candidate who is a superb communicator with strong technical skills and who wants to make an impact on the aerospace industry.

Immerse yourself in a full-time, Monday-Friday co-op session, that will run June-December (including the Fall semester); it is expected students will take a semester off from coursework to fully engage with this working mentorship opportunity.

What You Will Do

• Reviews completed layouts and drawings to ensure clarity, completeness, conformity to standards, procedures, specifications, and accuracy of calculations and dimensioning.

• Communicates with the other engineering personnel to coordinate the interrelated design and ensure project completion.

• Supports a Design lead in the creation and review of components, calculates stack-up of detail components, and performs analysis to substantiate model and print definition.

• Resolves design problems of difficult scope to ensure project completion.  Engage with manufacturing and engineering counterparts to collaborate on production problem solving opportunities.

• Supporting development pump programs in completing program deliverables

• Write engineering reports documenting testing results, design details, fielded hardware condition, investigation findings.

• Will be utilized as an individual contributor diagnosing and solving problems and building engineering capabilities.

• Will follow common procedures and standard work across the organization to optimize efficiency and quality of work performed.

• Develops data and makes layouts, sketches, and notes necessary to present design proposal.

• Designs components or portions of functional systems with assistance of experienced contributors and brainstorming technically advanced prototypes using computer design and engineering systems.

• Develops data and makes layouts, sketches, and notes for design proposals.

• Investigates pertinent design factors such as ease of manufacture, availability of materials and equipment, interchangeability, replace ability, strength-weight efficiency, and contractual specification requirements and cost.

• Designs, develops and tests metallic or non-metallic structures or materials and their related fabrication processes for use in engineering designs.

What You Will Learn

• Gain engineering experience within a fast paced aerospace environment

• Generate experience supporting multiple different engineering roles throughout the pump lifecycle (initial design, validation, production support, field support)

• Develop familiarity with multiple different pumping technologies

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Requires a High School Diploma or equivalent and student must be pursuing a Bachelor’s or advanced degree in an applicable discipline.

• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access the information under this program/contract. No Dual Citizens for this program/contract.
