Job Summary:

Pratt & Whitney Mechanical Systems and Externals Engineering seeks a motivated, detail-oriented mechanical design engineer to join the design team as an intern. Working on inter-disciplinary teams, the selected candidate will perform mechanical design of gas turbine engine fuel, hydraulic, lubrication, air management plumbing and electrical and harness systems hardware.

This position requires creative design skills in engine hardware arrangement and packaging to achieve maintainable, low-cost systems while meeting structural and functional requirements. External hardware includes a vast and challenging array of parts including tubes, brackets, electrical harnesses, and component mounts. The Externals designer routinely interfaces with virtually every module on a PW gas turbine engine as well as integration of different systems on the engine including lubrication, electrical, fuel and air systems.

All design work will utilize UG NX solid modeling as well as other modeling and analysis tools. The candidate will work with other disciplines including structures, project, and product definition. Opportunities are available in the development military program area.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop technically sound design solutions within program schedule milestones that meet cost and weight goals.
• Understand technical processes and design requirements of gas turbine externals hardware including plumbing and ducting systems, component mounts, sheet metal brackets and electrical harnesses.
• Learn and apply sophisticated solid modeling and analysis tools in a highly proficient manner.
• Utilize standard work and CORE/ACE tools to continuously improve the externals design process.
• Communicate with team leadership and management on status and risks to program schedule and metrics (cost, weight, performance, etc.).
• Ability to negotiate design criteria/space with other groups including internal as well as external customers.
• Ability to complete complex tolerance stacks for fit/function.
• Travel none

Basic Qualifications:

• Enrolled in a degree program in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
• Must be a U.S. Citizen. This position may require access to systems/tools that are restricted to individuals who possess US citizenship
• Minimum GPA of 3.0

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with CAD solid modeling (UG NX) and finite element analysis tools (i.e., Ansys).
• Demonstrated communication and teaming skills.
• Ability to interface effectively with both internal and external customers.
• Strong hands-on ability
• Proficiency in Teamcenter or other PLM system.
• Ability to solve technical problems
