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?

Pratt & Whitney’s Commercial Engines Geared Turbo Fan (GTF) Afterspanet Business is responsible for commercial maintenance agreements covering jet engines across the Pratt & Whitney Commercial Engines portfolio. The GTF Maintenance Cost Group (“MCG”), in the GTF Global Network and Cost Management Organization, develops and maintains shop visit forecasting models that:

• Determine the financial impact of maintenance agreements for new sales and existing engine maintenance contracts.

• Provide senior management with strategic guidance to improve returns for the GTF Program.

MCG’s main tool, the Interval Cost Estimator (“ICE”) is a Monte Carlo simulation of engine operation and maintenance.  MCG is looking for a Senior Manager – Maintenance Cost Modeling who will focus on advancing MCG’s maintenance cost forecasting models. The selected candidate will work with both the current ICE3 and future ICE NextGen simulation models/platforms.

What You Will Do:

• Co-lead ICE NextGen model development and integration with the ICE NextGen Ecosystem.

• Maintaining and developing the ICE 3.0 Maintenance Cost Simulation model.

• Improving forecast accuracy and process efficiency for ICE3.0 and ICE NextGen maintenance cost forecasting processes.

• Educating forecast model users on model logic/inputs and troubleshoot issues they are not able to resolve.

• Educating forecast customers and senior management on modeling concepts, input assumptions, complexity, and the correct interpretation of results.

• Extracting, curating, and analyzing actuals data to calibrate forecasting models.

• Teaming with business groups such as Finance, Engineering, Afterspanet, and Engine Program Management to identify understand and model emerging afterspanet issues.

• Liaising with technical organizations such as Engineering, Powerplant Engineering and Fleet Management to identify maintenance cost risk and opportunity.

What You Will Learn:

• To apply your modeling/discrete event simulation skills to jet engine maintenance and management

• To communicate with various technical disciplines within jet engine maintenance and management organizations

• To apply your modeling and simulation skills to model complex business specific behaviors

• To analyze actuals invoice data to calibrate model pricing and behavior.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. 

• U.S. Person (U.S. citizen, permanent resident, or granted refugee or asylee status) as defined here:  https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-M/part-120/subpart-C/section-120.62 

Preferred Qualifications and Skills 

• Competence in statistical analysis and modeling techniques, particularly in Discrete Event Monte Carlo simulations.

• Experience in data analysis and engaging expert knowledge to calibrate model logic and inputs to operational, price, cost, and maintenance actuals.

• General knowledge of jet engine performance, hot section reliability, rating structures, and familiarity with Life Limited Parts.

• Communicate technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences in various business disciplines across all levels of management. 

• Experience managing multiple tasks, lead/own projects, motivate others to share goals and visions.

• Skills relevant to discrete event simulation development and management.
