• Lead cross-functional teams in the development, evaluation, and implementation of engineering solutions that improve product performance, reliability, operability, and customer value.

• Drive technical decision-making through engineering analysis, sound judgment, and collaboration across multiple disciplines.

• Identify technical risks, evaluate alternatives, and help develop mitigation plans to support successful program execution.

• Partner with engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, service, and test organizations to solve complex technical challenges.

• Review engineering analyses, designs, and test results to ensure technical quality and readiness for key milestones and decisions.

• Support planning and execution of development, validation, and field support activities across components, subsystems, and complete engine systems.

• Develop and promote engineering best practices, lessons learned, and standardized methodologies that strengthen organizational capabilities.

• Communicate technical recommendations, trade studies, risks, and program status to stakeholders and engineering leadership.

• Mentor and support the growth of other engineers while fostering a culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What You Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.

• 8+ years of experience in gas turbine engineering, including design, analysis, testing, systems engineering, product support, manufacturing support, or product development.

• Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects, coordinate cross-functional teams, and successfully execute engineering objectives.

• Strong understanding of gas turbine systems, engineering fundamentals, and the practical application of engineering principles.

• Proven ability to solve complex technical problems using structured analytical methods and sound engineering judgment.

• Experience assessing technical risk, evaluating tradeoffs, and supporting effective engineering decision-making.

• Ability to work effectively across multiple engineering disciplines and balance competing technical, schedule, and business priorities.

• Experience reviewing engineering analyses, technical reports, design documentation, and test data.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to influence stakeholders and build alignment across organizational boundaries.

• Demonstrated commitment to technical excellence, continuous learning, and mentoring others.

• Willingness to travel typically five to ten percent, and occasionally more for major projects.

• Applicants must be legally authorized for employment in the United States without the need for current or future employer sponsored work authorization.
