Pratt & Whitneys North Berwick Engineering Centers (NBEC) Hot Section Structures Engineering Team is looking for a Structures Engineer to perform analysis on turbine hardware for military engines. 

What You Will Do:

• Develop structurally sound designs for new and existing engine programs, review repaired and manufactured hardware for structural capability, and present results to customers.
• Perform structural analysis on turbine hardware using a combination of classical engineering calculations, PW tools, and finite element analysis; document analysis results and present them to management and customers; and support field investigations.
• Evaluate turbine hardware for strength, deflection, vibration, fatigue life, and damage tolerance.
• Work in a multi-disciplinary team of engineers to develop component designs for current and next-generation engines.
• Travel up to 10.

What You Will Learn:

• Application of finite element analysis software and fundamental stress/strain equations to the design of gas turbine engine components.
• Critical thinking and problem-solving techniques.
• Programming and automation methods for analysis calculations.
• Turbine component interaction and behavior during engine operation.
• Component manufacturing and refurbishment processes.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelor of Science in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Civil Engineering or a STEM degree and 2 years prior relevant structures engineering experience; or an Advanced degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil Engineering or a STEM degree. Relevant experience such as: performing structural analysis on turbine or similar hardware using a combination of hand calculations, Pratt & Whitney tools, and finite element analysis.
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government-issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Active and transferable U.S. government-issued security clearance.
