Job Description Summary

The Advanced Product Development (APD) Systems Staff Engineer will lead elements of the systems design and development for an Edison Works New Product Introduction (NPI) program NGP3 as an experienced technical expert in Turbomachinery Systems Engineering. This is the systems integration and design of the turbomachinery (disks, shafts, frames, cases, ducts, airfoils, etc.) systems of the F110-F4B2 engine. Additional responsibilities may include mentoring in the areas of systems engineering, mechanical and/or thermal design fundamentals, test, producibility, and engine certification/qualification. This is a role for someone with established technical and programmatic engineering skills who not only understands how to increase their impact by building the capabilities of the team but can also “lead by doing.” This position includes the opportunity to integrate with various internal & external engineering disciplines. This position will impact engineering approaches, projects, and programs in the functional area or affected business organization. As well as impacts quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the team, and has significant input into priorities. The role has moderate autonomy, requiring high levels of operational judgment. The APD Section is inventing the future of flight and advancing propulsion capability for the next generation of military applications. APD’s focus is the design, integration, testing, and support of advanced technologies for new and derivative engine concepts. Technology areas include turbomachinery systems, military inlet & exhaust systems, integrated propulsion power & thermal management systems, advanced material systems, advanced control systems, and other breakthrough component and system technologies to support the future of military flight.

Job Description Roles and Responsibilities

• Lead systems design and integration of the F110-F4B2 turbomachinery (disks, shafts, frames, cases, ducts, airfoils) for the NGP3 New Product Introduction (NPI) program.
• Work with the F110 turbomachinery design organization to keep system requirements, interfaces, and design intent consistent across components.
• Work with analysis teams, including aeromechanics, stress, and thermal, and turn their results into system-level design decisions.
• Share turbomachinery systems responsibility with a peer focal, splitting ownership between the hot and cold sections and integrating across the whole engine.
• Coordinate with other systems integrators so that work and information flow smoothly across the organization.
• Work with the aircraft integration team and qualification and certification leaders to build qualification artifacts and the engine qualification story.
• Work with the customer to resolve technical issues and support program-level integration.
• Mentor engineers in systems engineering, mechanical and thermal design fundamentals, test, producibility, and certification.
