Systems Engineering Methods Engineer (Onsite)
About The Position
Pratt & Whitney is seeking a highly skilled and forward-thinking Performance and Operability Methods Engineer to transform its digital modeling ecosystem and drive enterprise adoption of next-generation engineering methods. The role advances propulsion modeling capabilities by enhancing NPSS toolchains, optimizing PMDO workflows, and strengthening automation and CI/CD systems. It provides technical leadership in MBSE, MDAO, and digital engineering methodologies, guiding system modeling, integration, optimization, and design automation practices in partnership with discipline and strategy stakeholders. The engineer coordinates performance and operability methods, supports development of NPSS Kernel/EMI and Core Library features, supports modeling across programs, and owns key processes such as the Automated Severity Grid and PSA Jenkins pipelines. The role collaborates across functions to harmonize digital processes, improve modeling reliability, streamline data environments, and deploy new analytical capabilities. It also supports an AI Coding Assistant initiative intended to accelerate NPSS model implementation and modernize propulsion-analysis workflows.
