Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power systems and has been revolutionizing modern flight for over 100 years. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense. The Hot Section Engineering Mechanical Design team is seeking an experienced Senior Principal Mechanical Engineer, preferably with turbo machinery experience. If you have relevant mechanical design background and experience in these areas and possess the skills and motivation to bring new ideas into practice, we would like to like to hear from you. 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, Global Services Engineering, and Product Safety, Certification and Validation & Development Operations to complete these tasks. The candidate could work either commercial or military programs, which will be determined based upon candidate qualifications and program needs. Depending on the phase of the program, the tasks will vary, but may include clean sheet design, delivering development hardware to test engines, facilitating the delivery of hardware to production engines, processing engineering changes to improve the production configuration, and support of fielded engines.
