What You Will Do

Pratt & Whitneys Engine Design & Systems Integration (EDSI) organization is seeking a highly motivated, team-oriented, and results-driven Propulsion Systems Analysis (PSA) Senior Engineer to support the development of the 30k Geared Turbofan Advantage (GTFA) engine program – extending the capability of the Geared Turbofan PW1100G-JM, the most advanced propulsion system for the Airbus A320NEO/A321NEO commercial airliners. The goal for the GTFA program is to reduce fuel burn & system temperatures while increasing intervals for engine removal, time on wing, part durability and hardware life for life limited parts.  As such, PSA is a primary contributor to the success of the program and requires an individual with strong technical, problem solving, communication, and leadership skills as the GTFA program matures through customer compliance / aircraft certification and entry-into-service. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct system trade studies to optimize the engine thermodynamic cycle for performance, durability, time on wing, operability, and other system metrics.
• Provide detailed analysis of engine ground and flight test data to help characterize component & system level performance.
• Ensure operability goals for transient engine response, engine starting, rotor overspeed behavior during system failure events, and capability under inclement weather conditions.
• Contribute, maintain, and update the engine aero-thermo model (NPSS/C++) and other home-grown PSA tools (Python) and review and support internal and external conventional model releases (Git).
• Identify & drive strategic transformation of tools and processes by automating existing workflows.
• Support data analytics initiatives utilizing field data sources and big data tools.
• Support, contribute, and lead relevant meetings with integration teams (IPT, SSIPT, EDSIT, & SIPT), internal/external customers, and senior leadership.
• Owns tasks and projects that span PSA subdisciplines: “soup to nuts” ownership of outcome and work across system analysis subdiscipline boundaries to achieve program deliverables.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM)
• 2 years of engineering experience, or an Advanced Degree and 3 years’ experience.
• U.S. Citizen - U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract..

Qualifications We Prefer

• Knowledge of one or more PSA discipline(s): engine performance / operability / modeling / production & field support
• Proficiency in NPSS and/or aero-thermo modeling for gas turbine cycles
• Proficiency in programming codes (C++, Python) and knowledge CI/CD software development
• Knowledge of control logic and control schedules generation
• Knowledge of component aerodynamics, air systems, heat transfer & secondary flow, or other PSA or Aero Thermal Fluid disciplines
• A track record of delivering timely results in a cross-functional team environment
• The ability to communicate effectively with customers and all levels of management
