• Turbine and compressor blades and vanes
• Combustor parts
• Casings, shrouds, seals, and rotating structures
• Bearings, shafts, and support structures
• Develop and validate manufacturing processes for complex engine parts involving:
• Precision casting and forging and near net shape
• High-precision machining of superalloys (e.g. Inconel, titanium, ceramic matrix composites)
• Additive manufacturing (metal AM), hybrid processes
• Advanced coatings (thermal barrier, anti-corrosion) and heat treatments
• High-temperature joining (brazing, welding )and surface treatments
• Cross-functional Industrial Readiness
• Collaborate with the Advanced Industrialization Director, OPE, Leads and Industrial Engineers, to the planning and execution of the RLPM Gates and Operations Production readiness (PR) deliverables, synchronized with RLPM gates, including the Production Plan.
