What You Will Do

The F135 Turbine Component Integrated Product Team (CIPT), is searching for a highly motivated Project Engineer to support the latest and greatest Production fighter jet engine program, the F135.  A successful candidate will be a talented, goal oriented, focused Project Engineer who wants to be an integral part of Hot Section Engineering. Project engineers are part of an integrated product team (IPT) made up of designers, durability engineers, structures engineers as well as system analysts whose goal is to solve module level/part level technical challenges.  This would require the overall coordination and leadership of a multi-disciplinary engineering team to meet the technical, cost, and schedule requirements throughout the product life cycle. 

Activities would consist of: 

• Leading a team of Project engineers that coordinate designs (Class I & Class II Engineering Changes), fabrication (manufacturing/suppliers– vendor trips), validation (Engine Build-Test-Teardown, ACIs- Analytical Condition Inspection, FMRs- Failure Malfunction Report), and sustainment (Component Field Limits, Merlins-Field Inquiries, Deviation Requests) activities.  Coordinating designs (Class I & Class II Engineering Changes), fabrication (manufacturing/suppliers– vendor trips), validation (Engine Build-Test-Teardown, ACIs- Analytical Condition Inspection, FMRs- Failure Malfunction Report), and sustainment (Component Field Limits, Merlins-Field Inquiries, Deviation Requests) activities.  
• Within the IPT framework, you would be responsible for coaching Project engineers supporting and leading IPTs, planning budgets (Military EV CAM) and schedules, sustaining fielded engines, resolving manufacturing issues, handling budgets, and communicating task status to the Component Integrated Product Team (CIPT) and F135 Military Program.
• Today, the F135 CIPT is heavily focused on solving highly visible tasks ranging from component field investigations/root cause to Class I component engineering changes, Production deliveries and Field Sustainment.   
• Talent development and mentorship of the project team
• Develop staffing plans and strategies, including outsourcing Statements of Work (SOWs)
• Chair product reviews, including documentation of meeting minutes, assigning action items, and reviewing actions item closures
• Lead a team to manage budgets and ensure schedule milestones are achieved
• Prepare and present at CIPT, SIPT, and various Executive reviews
• Ensure strong communication and alignment with both internal and external customers
• Travel less than 10% 

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM)
• 10 years of experience in engineering or aerospace with a bachelor’s degree, or 7 years with an advanced degree
• Prior IPT leadership experience
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Aerospace or Mechanical
• Ability to work in a fa
