Summary Seeking an Aerospace/Mechanical Engineer skilled in Solid Mechanics and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to support the design and development of advanced fuel nozzles, and thermal management systems for gas turbine engines. Key responsibilities include performing structural and thermal FEA, optimizing materials and designs, overseeing design assurance testing, supporting certification, and collaborating with internal and external teams.
Essential Functions
Conduct static, dynamic, thermal, modal, and fatigue analyses using FEA tools.
Present analysis results, oversee design/analysis validation tests and prepare technical reports.
Contribute to R&D projects on materials and new technologies.
Lead the adoption of ML and AI tools for design exploration, analysis process automation, and material selections.
Collaborate in a team environment to improve product performance and cost.
Qualifications
BS, MS/ME or PhD in Mechanical, Aerospace Engineering or related field, with focus or experience FEA and AI/ML applications.
Relevant experience in engineering analysis and FEA (includes graduate level research), and strong knowledge of solid mechanics and FEA methods strongly desired.
Experience in data preparation and training of AI/ML models to support design optimization and design-tool development is strongly desired.
Familiarity with materials (superalloys, stainless steels), manufacturing/joining methods, and coatings such as Thermal / Environmental Barrier Coatings (TBCs / EBCs) is a plus.
Experience with MATLAB, Python, CFD, GD&T, and dynamic structural modeling is desirable.
Effective communicator and team player, able to manage multiple projects.
