Pratt & Whitney is working to once again transform the future of flight—designing, building, and servicing engines unlike any the world has ever seen. And because transformation begins from within, we’re seeking the people to drive it. So, calling all curious. 

Come ready to explore and you’ll find a place where your talent takes flight—beyond the borders of title, a country or your comfort zone. Bring your passion and commitment and we’ll welcome you into a tight-knit team that takes our mission personally. Channel your drive to make a difference into shaping an organization and an industry that’s evolving fast to the future.

At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?

Job Summary:

Pratt & Whitney India Engineering Center (IEC) is looking for a highly motivated Principal Structures Engineer to join our Aftermarket & Sustainment Engineering (ASE) Commercial Repairs team. This position involves analyzing repairs to ensure they meet original equipment manufacturing (OEM) requirements, supporting customer safety, cost, and reliability objectives.  ASE is uniquely linked between the engine development / certification and aftermarket and field support engine life cycles. This results in our repairs having a direct impact on the bottom line of Pratt & Whitney’s maintenance repair and overhaul revenue and success. The Principal Structures Engineer closely interacts with fellow ASE engineers from structures, design, project, and program, along with other module center engineers from the CIPT and design metallurgy, among others, to develop technical data to meet safety, quality, delivery, and cost requirements. The ASE organization strongly values coaching and mentoring of all engineers, regardless of individual’s experience. This role also has an active role in the development of others as well as themselves.

Key Responsibilities:

• Responsible for the structural assessments of repairs to commercial engine components.
• Knowledge of Integrated Product Development (IPD), Structures Engineering Knowledge System (EKS), and the Product Design Review process.
• Coordinate structural analysis requirements for repairs with other ASE technical disciplines and module centers/ Component Integrated Product Teams (CIPTs).
• Provide technical coaching and mentoring to entry level and earlier career structures engineers and support them in their Technical Capability development.
• Participate on multi-disciplinary teams to provide design solutions that meet design and life requirements.
• Work independently on structural analysis and provide solutions, based upon engineering judgement and experience, when historical solutions are not available or applicable. Analysis may include both classical methods and/or detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Coordinate with others to advance the technology and improve engineering standard work processes/methods, plus document and present results to management and customers.
• Primary focal for structural analysis memos (SAMs) and provide structures review/approval for all repair documents.

Basic Qualifications:

• 12 to 16 years of experience with a Advanced degree in engineering (Aerospace, Mechanical, Materials Science, Metallurgy, or Production)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Expert in ANSYS APDL/ Workbench or other FEA software.
• Experience of working on structural assessments of cold as well as hot section components- cases, frames, externals etc.
• Prior experience of working on Aftermarket repairs would be added advantage
• Understanding about Pratt & Whitney Engine manuals
• Demonstrated experience of leading continuous improvement activities and implementing solutions
• Awareness of manufacturing and/or repair processes and their impact on structural integrity of the component
• Strong understanding of low cycle fatigue and fatigue and fracture analysis theory and applications.
• Experience using Pratt & Whitney/industry lifing systems: PWLIFE, ARLS, or crack growth (SURCK, Darwin, Franc3D) systems a plus.
• Background in turbomachinery
• Active participation in organizational initiatives
• Project management skills to support workload management and team utilization
• Familiarity with Raytheon Technologies CORE Operating System and AS9100D Standards
