Mechanical Integrity Engineer

Rolls-Royce•Indianapolis, IN

1d•$78,918 - $128,242•Hybrid

About The Position

The Mechanical Integrity Engineer supports the Design function by undertaking analysis of the proposed designs to ensure that they are robust and that they meet requirements. The Mechanical Integrity Engineer also makes recommendations to optimize the design and apply Robust Engineering (Design for Process Excellence) principles. Mechanical Integrity Engineers ensure the integrity of our products. They work across a wide variety of commodities from critical parts (e.g. Discs, Blisks, Shafts and High-Pressure Casings) through blades and vanes to structures and installation components. Depending on the specialty, they predict the mechanical behavior of components and sub-systems considering various failure mechanisms (e.g. proof, ultimate, fatigue (low & high cycle), creep, flutter, damping, mistuning etc.) and contributing factors (e.g. vibration, thermal induced loads, inherent manufacturing anomalies, corrosion, extreme operating conditions such as over-speed etc.)

Requirements

A Bachelor’s degree in Engineering with 2+ years of related experience; OR; A Masters degree in Engineering; OR, JD/PhD
Must be a US Citizen
