The candidate will be working on the high-pressure turbine of the F135 engine. Tasks will include processing engineering changes to improve the production intent configuration, processing changes for development specific test objectives such as accommodations for required instrumentation and associated interface design coordination, and delivering development hardware to test engines which would include assessment of non-conforming hardware and potentially updates to production intent configurations based on results of these assessments.

The mechanical designer will work with the other disciplines of the Integrated Product Team (IPT) including Project, Structures, Durability, Aero-thermal, and Product Definition. The mechanical designer will also need to interface with other Hot Section Engineering IPTs as well as other departments such as Customer Technical Support, Aftermarket and Sustainment Engineering, and Product Safety, Certification and Validation & Development Operations to complete these tasks.

What You Will Do

• Resolution of mechanical engineering problems of difficult and complex scope, seeking a balanced system solution, ensuring engineering excellence, all with supervisor oversight.
• Generate development hardware design solutions that meet the objectives of the test engines and development program and facilitate the delivery of the development hardware to the test engines on schedule.  Process technically sound engineering changes within program schedule that meet performance metrics such as cost, weight, and part life.
• Work with Operations and suppliers to address production issues and evaluate hardware nonconformances to facilitate the timely delivery of production hardware.
• Utilize standard work and CORE tools to continuously improve the design process.
• This position may require up to 10% travel.
