About The Position

Pratt & Whitney is working to once again transform the future of flight—designing, building and servicing engines unlike any the world has ever seen. And because transformation begins from within, we’re seeking the people to drive it. So, calling all curious. Come ready to explore and you’ll find a place where your talent takes flight—beyond the borders of title, a country, or your comfort zone. Bring your passion and commitment and we’ll welcome you into a tight-knit team that takes our mission personally. Channel your drive to make a difference into shaping an organization and an industry that’s evolving fast to the future. At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond? The Aftermarket and Sustainment Engineering (ASE) organization is seeking an engineer to join our onsite Component Integrated Product Team (CIPT) at the Columbus Engine Center in Columbus, Georgia supporting the maturation of the Next Generation Product Family (NGPF) fleet. In this role you will play a crucial part in supporting Geared Turbofan (GTF) Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO), where you'll be directly involved in providing engineering solutions to address non-conforming hardware, ensuring parts are returned to service and minimizing engine work scope increases. This role will primarily focus on Hot Section Engineering (HSE) hardware for the GTF Engine, but will also have broad exposure to all sections of the engine. This role will allow you to serve not only as an onsite extension of the cognizant CIPT(s), but also effectively act as an engineering liaison, representing Pratt & Whitney Engineering to the local Disassembly, Assembly, and Test (DAT) network shops. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience with engine run hardware and the assembly and disassembly processes. You'll gain valuable insights into engine functionality and business operations, providing you with an unparalleled opportunity to learn and grow as an engineer, while providing a direct engineering link to the commercial aftermarket organization.

Investigate OEM and aftermarket engineering data such as engineering drawings, MRO manuals, and field history to understand original design with intent of creating technical data used to return non-conforming hardware back to service.
Apply mechanical design principles to complete tolerance stack-ups, balance calculations, bearing area, thread shear capability, and others.
Establish validation substantiation requirements for technical dialog or engineering authorizations
Obtain internal technical approvals from structures, CIPT design, materials, or Aero. Additionally secure FAA regulatory approval and coordinate with the end user.
Continuously develop or improve design processes and Engineering Standard Work
Interface with engine center staff, project engineering, and program management to secure priorities and understand programmatic issues.
Cultivate relationships with shop floor inspectors, powerplant engineers, and production engineers to improve customer experience.
Support Engineering organizations as an On-Site representative for the various CIPTs
Work closely with IPT members and regulatory authorities on hardware field investigations to drive root cause and recommend product improvements
Proactively monitor, characterize, and trend part condition data in support of durability, safety, limits expansion, and repair activities
Provide technical support to engine center operations through interpretation of technical data and communication of special engineering requests
Support engineering goals of improving Flight Safety, reducing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) occurrences, improving the GTF product, and maturing the PW1000G MRO network
