About The Position

The Advanced Product Development (APD) Systems Staff Engineer is an experienced technical expert responsible for managing hardware cost and weight for the F110-F4B2 on the Edison Works NGP3 New Product Introduction (NPI) program. The position integrates hardware across the propulsion system and supports engine-level design and systems integration, collaborating with Systems Engineering and Integrated Product Team (IPT) leaders. The role combines hands-on technical contribution with mentoring and building team capabilities, and may include mentoring in systems engineering, mechanical and thermal design fundamentals, testing, producibility, and engine certification and qualification. The position influences engineering approaches, projects, and programs in its functional area, with significant input into priorities and impacts on team quality, efficiency, and effectiveness. It operates with moderate autonomy and requires strong operational judgment. APD focuses on the design, integration, testing, and support of advanced technologies for new and derivative engine concepts, including turbomachinery, military inlet and exhaust systems, integrated propulsion power and thermal management, advanced materials, and advanced controls. The role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Employment is contingent on demonstrating U.S. Person status as a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, asylee, or refugee. The position also requires the successful candidate to maintain a U.S. Government Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is a prerequisite for obtaining one. The posting is expected to close November 30, 2026. Relocation assistance is not provided.
