Job Description Summary

The Advanced Product Development 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 a future production application. Technology areas include military inlet & exhaust systems, integrated propulsion power & thermal management systems, advanced material systems, and other breakthrough component and system technologies to support the future of military flight.

The APD – Mechanical Design Staff Engineer will plan and lead hardware owners for an Edison Works New Product Introduction (NPI) program as a technical focal and Sub-Team leader. This is a role for someone with a passion for engineering who has experience with the design process and can develop a strategy for success when confronted with a technical challenge. A Staff Engineer does not work alone and must be able to focus, guide, and develop teams by setting goals, championing initiatives, and providing mentorship for the broader team.

As a Sub-Team leader for hardware owners in the Mechanical Design Subsection, you will coordinate the maturation of high temperature engine components and integrate across the larger Integrated Product Team. As a team lead you will not only utilize core engineer skills including 3D modeling, finite element analysis, high cycle & low cycle fatigue assessments, mechanical stack-ups and drawing definition release but also provide direction and mentorship to less experienced engineers.

In addition, the Staff engineer will manage priority across multiple cross-functional teams to establish boundary conditions, assess material and manufacturing capabilities, conduct design trades to optimize across a range of requirements, and be responsible for managing the impact on project cost and schedule. Designs will be developed in support of future test and qualification efforts and the scope of the role will also include development of producibility and supportability strategies. This position reports to an engineering manager in Evendale, OH with the opportunity to integrate with various internal & external engineering disciplines.

Teams in the Advanced Programs space are fueled by a love of aviation and a sense of purpose to support our military customers. We solve hard problems by pulling concepts from the science & technology realm into the world of applied engineering. Whether it’s composites design, aeromechanics, additive manufacturing, manufacturing support or test - this role is a guaranteed opportunity to grow your skillset. The harder the problem - the harder we push, building on a legacy of engineering excellence to invent the future of flight.
