Mechanical Systems Engineer
- Mechanical Systems Ownership (Concept to Qualification) : Lead mechanical system architecture, requirements flow-down, and verification plans for lube systems, bearings, and limited-life components from trade studies through qualification test.
- Lubrication Systems : Define system requirements; size pumps, jets, passages; select fluids; design scavenge and filtration; complete thermal management analyses; and own FMEAs and fault response strategies.
- Bearing Design : Architect bearing selections and life calculations; establish preload, fits, lubrication regimes; support rotordynamic and thermal analyses; validate via rig or engine testing and data correlation.
- Limited-Life Engine Design : Develop design rules and margins tailored to mission profiles; set inspection/retirement intervals; drive affordability and manufacturability for targeted life limits while safeguarding safety.
- Analysis and Validation : Execute and review hand-calcs and model-based analyses (rotordynamics, tribology, CFD/thermal, reliability); plan and oversee rig/engine testing; define qualification criteria and evidence.
- Integration and V&V : Lead requirements management, DFMEA/FMECA and traceability; ensure interfaces with airframe, controls, and manufacturing are robust; resolve non-conformances and execute RCCA.
- Standards and Compliance : Apply relevant aerospace, safety, and export control requirements; define design standards and best practices; ensure configuration control and documentation quality.
- Program Execution : Build schedules, manage risks, and drive deliverables across design gates; support supply-chain and supplier technical management; contribute to proposals, ROMs, and design-to-cost tradeoffs.
- Continuous Improvement : Identify and implement process improvements across design, analysis, and test workflows; mentor early-career engineers; promote a culture of safety, quality, and learning following FLIGHT DECK standards.
- Education/Experience : BS in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering (MS preferred) with at least 3 years' experience in turbomachinery or small propulsion systems; demonstrated ownership from concept to qualification.
- Technical Depth : Expertise in lubrication systems and bearing design for high-speed rotating machinery; proficiency with rotor dynamics, tribology, thermal analysis, and reliability engineering.
- Leadership & Communication : Proven technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, supplier engagement, and clear communication of technical decisions, risks, and trade study outcomes.
- Legal authorization to work in the U.S . is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.
- Tools : Experience with CAD/PLM, rotodynamic/thermal analysis tools, CFD/FEM familiarity, requirements management, and data analysis from rig/engine testing.
- 5 years experience module support
- Safety : Zero escape defects in lube/bearing designs; robust hazard analysis and mitigation documented and validated.
- Quality : First-time-right design reviews; qualification evidence fully meeting requirements with minimal re-test.
- Delivery : On-time execution of design gates, test readiness, and qualification milestones.
- Cost : Achieve design-to-cost targets through smart architecture choices, supplier optimization, and limited-life strategy.
- Internal : Systems, thermal/fluids, structures, rotor dynamics, controls, manufacturing, test & instrumentation, reliability.
- External : Suppliers (bearings, pumps, filters, seals), customers/airframers, regulatory/standards bodies as applicable.
