About The Position

The lead inclement weather engineering role is an engineering discipline centered on an approach and process of using CFD to help analyze the expected gas turbine engine response in various conditions. The analysis conducted takes into consideration the technical needs of the regulatory agencies and customers with the goal of providing quality analysis that meets the gas turbine engine system needs. The role focuses on executing a robust process of design, recommendations, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation. Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.
