Role Purpose
The primary responsibility of this role is to work on Aero Engine components and take complete ownership of assigned Design Engineering tasks. The candidate will independently or with minimal supervision perform FE calculations and verification of aero-engine components, in line with established design practices and work instructions.
The role also involves evaluating and justifying non-conformances and field issues in a cross-functional environment, and driving product improvement, method development, and continuous improvement activities through internal GKN forums.
Key Accountabilities
- Individual contributor in Design Engineering delivering analysis tasks mainly in Solid Mechanics and Thermal Analysis for parts/products aligned with organizational KPIs.
- Support the structural design process to ensure required quality within the defined scope of responsibility.
- Support continuous improvement initiatives to enhance team efficiency.
- Develop, implement, and verify technical solutions and compliance documentation in line with customer, regulatory, and airworthiness requirements, within agreed program schedules and manufacturing constraints.
- Identify technical problems and apply or integrate effective solutions.
- Execute and implement method plans, toolsets, and approaches compliant with design and program objectives.
- Identify and assess technical risks within assigned programs/projects and propose mitigation plans.
- Generate project deliverables, documents, and reports as per authorization requirements.
- Support technical and customer reviews, including formal gate reviews, and prepare technical data and presentations.
- Process concessions and non-conformances and provide technical support to resolve non-conforming products, designs, and documentation.
- Perform activities with minimal supervision and support peer-to-peer technical reviews.
- Identify improvements and support creation of work instructions, procedures, technical manuals, and guidelines.
