Sr Mechanical Engineer - Structural Analysis I FEA
About The Position
The Senior Mechanical Engineer will work in the Legacy Engines, APU & Advanced Technology Turbine group, performing and providing technical expertise for cooled and uncooled turbine component design and analysis. The role supports turbine hardware fabrication, engine testing, test data reduction, and validation of analysis models. It also contributes to internally and externally funded research focused on improving turbine stress and lifing capabilities. The engineer will work with teams to resolve complex engineering problems, contribute to proposals and future business opportunities, and support value engineering and program or process changes. The position is based in Phoenix, Arizona, on a hybrid work schedule. The role also supports development of new growth engines and existing fielded engines, communicates technical results to internal and external stakeholders, and mentors junior engineers.
