Why join our team?

P&W's NSE team is developing a new hybrid-electric propulsion technology that will significantly improve the aircraft's efficiency. By optimizing performance in the various phases of flight, this will enable a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to a modern turboprop regional airliner. The NSE is a central component of the future hybrid-electric propulsion system and is a vital product for several P&W initiatives at the aerospace propulsion frontier.

If you are a professional able to work quite independently and have a thorough knowledge of the discipline and the role, we invite you to apply.

What will your day-to-day look like?

Your day might start with reaching out to others in the team who asked for your support on a task to validate that you're on the right track, simulating the installation of engine hardware on the aircraft in CATIA or organizing the logistics of an upcoming technical review meeting. In the afternoon, you might work on an update to the engine installation and maintenance instructions that you are responsible for building. Outside of your day-to-day tasks, you will propose and own projects and have concrete milestones towards their completion. You'll lend a hand to colleagues and team members who reach out to you for help and will eagerly contribute in whatever way is needed to advance the team's mission to have first flight.

Responsibilities include:

• Support weight management of the various packages installed on the airplane.
• Evaluate installation of an hybrid-electric engine in the nacelle.
• Document steps to install and remove the engine.
• Identify clearance issues, including access for assembly/disassembly steps using tools

What do you need to be successful?

• Be eligible to work in Canada.
• Be enrolled in a Canadian university throughout your internship.
• Be able to work on-site in the province where you are hired if applicable.
• Support the definition of engine interfaces with aircraft components.
• Good communication skills in French and in English (spoken/ written).
• Assess the installation of the hybrid-electric engine within the nacelle.
• Document the installation steps and keep the documentation up to date as the engine and nacelle evolve.
• Identify space and accessibility issues related to performing tasks with tools

Although this position is part of a French-speaking work environment, it requires a working knowledge of English to read and understand specialized instructions, plans, drawings and technical terms that may emanate from international organizations, as well as to write and sometimes communicate in English with customers, suppliers or international colleagues.
