About The Position
Quest Defense Systems and Solutions is seeking an Aero Thermal Engineer to support aerospace propulsion programs. The role primarily supports secondary-flow engineering activities involving nonconforming or damaged hardware and may also include thermal analysis. The engineer will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to assess aerospace engine components, investigate secondary-flow effects related to nonconformances, and develop technically rigorous recommendations supporting product quality, performance, and operational requirements. The position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance; an active Secret clearance is preferred.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
- Demonstrated experience analyzing aerospace components, mechanical systems, or comparably complex products.
- Working knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and fundamental engineering principles.
- Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, technical specifications, and analytical documentation.
- Experience conducting engineering investigations, resolving technical issues, or evaluating components.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering disciplines.
- Ability to manage technical assignments and deliver accurate results within established schedules.
- U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Direct experience supporting QN, ENC, or field support engineering activities within aerospace or gas turbine environments.
- Knowledge of gas turbine architecture, including compressor, combustor, and turbine components.
- Experience with FABLE or other secondary flow system analysis tools.
- Experience evaluating aerospace component nonconformances, dispositions, or repairs.
- Experience supporting aerospace OEM teams and customer-facing technical engagements.
- Active Secret clearance.
Responsibilities
- Provide QN and ENC engineering support for evaluation and disposition of nonconformances affecting new and fielded engine components.
- Conduct engineering assessments and technical evaluations for QN and overhaul damage work packages.
- Evaluate component nonconformances, dimensional deviations, and engineering records to develop technically substantiated recommendations.
- Review engineering drawings, specifications, hardware measurement data, and analytical results to determine component acceptability.
- Collaborate with design, structures, project, manufacturing, customer support, and other engineering functions to resolve technical issues in a timely manner.
- Perform or support thermal, heat transfer, and fluid flow analyses for gas turbine components and systems.
- Evaluate analytical results and prepare engineering reports, technical summaries, and supporting documentation.
- Support root cause investigations, corrective action initiatives, and continuous improvement efforts.
- Partner with customer engineering teams to address technical challenges while fulfilling quality and delivery commitments.
- Enhance engineering workflows, analytical methods, and overall technical efficiency.
Benefits
