Descrizione del lavoro

Blisk Dynamics in Long Beach, CA seeks a Principal Turbomachinery Engineer to serve as the senior technical authority for propulsion systems. You will set technical direction, own system‑level architecture, and build the team and processes needed to move to production.

Hands‑on depth matters as much as strategy. You will guide CFD/FEA reviews, drive multidisciplinary optimization, and ensure designs are producible at volume.

Competenze

• B.S. or higher in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent depth of experience.
• 12+ years of turbomachinery design experience for propulsion or high-performance rotating machinery.
• Ownership of a turbomachinery system from concept through validated, production‑intent hardware.
• Expert depth across aerodynamics, structures, heat transfer, rotordynamics, and performance.
• Track record of leading cross-functional engineering efforts and architectural decisions that held up in manufacturing and test.
• Experience building and developing engineering teams.
• U.S. Person status required (ITAR-controlled work).

Mansioni

• Set technical direction for the turbomachinery program: architecture, performance targets, and development approach.
• Lead system-level trades across the full engine cycle and drive multidisciplinary optimization.
• Define analysis standards and review CFD, FEA, rotordynamics, and performance work.
• Ensure designs are producible at volume from the start, working closely with manufacturing on castings, forgings, additive, and machined components.
• Define and oversee test campaigns; lead root cause investigations and drive corrective actions.
• Establish the turbomachinery design playbook: standards, processes, and documentation.
• Develop other engineers, make hard architectural calls, and represent turbomachinery in cross-functional and external forums.
