Your contributions will be pivotal in the creation of advanced jet engines, components, and integrated systems that drive commercial and military aircraft. Join a team that values your passion, curiosity, and unique perspectives, and share in a mission that impacts millions worldwide! About this Position The Emerging Technologies (ET) team, which encompasses Small Uncrewed Engines (SUE), Hypersonics, and AI innovations for Defense and Systems, is looking for a talented Combustor Design Module Lead. In this fast-paced role, you will own the combustor module's architecture and design for limited-life propulsion engines, guiding the module from initial concept through to qualification. This position entails leading cross-functional teams to deliver combustor designs that are safe, high-quality, timely, and cost-effective, aligned with mission objectives. Key Responsibilities Module Ownership (Concept to Qualification) : Drive combustor architecture and manage requirements from concept through preliminary and detailed design to rig and engine qualification. Combustor Design & Analysis : Define critical parameters such as liner/dome/swirler geometry and conduct thorough analyses on fuel nozzle integration, emissions, flame stability, and life-limited features. Thermal & Structural Integrity : Oversee thermal management strategies, stress assessments, and compliance with limited-life retirement rules to ensure durability and reliability. Fuel & Controls Integration : Collaborate with fuel system and controls teams on essential aspects like transient operability and nozzle selection. Manufacturability & Materials : Spearhead design for manufacturability and select appropriate materials to optimize combustor component production. Testing & Qualification : Design and supervise rig and engine tests, analyze results, and compile evidence to ensure robust qualification. Integration & V&V : Lead failure mode and effects analysis (DFMEA), requirements traceability, and hazard evaluations to ensure seamless integration with other engine components. Program Execution : Develop and manage project schedules and risks, ensuring resources are effectively coordinated and aligned with program objectives. Leadership & Mentoring : Provide technical guidance, set clear objectives for team members, review designs, and mentor junior engineers while fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Compliance & Documentation : Maintain rigorous configuration control and ensure all designs meet applicable standards and regulations. Required Qualifications Education/Experience : Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering (Master’s preferred) and at least 5 years of experience in combustor design for gas turbine or small propulsion systems, including a proven track record from concept to qualification. Technical Depth : Strong expertise in combustor aerothermal design, emissions regulations, and lifecycle management strategies. Leadership & Communication : Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams, engage suppliers, and communicate effectively about decisions and risks. Legal Authorization : Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for visa sponsorship. Desired Characteristics: Technical Tools : Proficiency in CAD/PLM, aerothermal/CFD tools, and FEA for thermo-mechanical analysis. 10 years of experience managing combustor modules. Success Metrics (SQDC) Safety : Conduct thorough hazard analyses and maintain validated ignition and thermal protection margins. Quality : Achieve first-time-right design reviews and correlate test data with predictions successfully. Delivery : Ensure timely completion of design milestones and readiness for testing. Cost : Meet design-to-cost objectives through effective optimization strategies. Role Interfaces Internal : Work with teams across compressor and turbine design, fuel and controls, manufacturing, and testing to ensure robust collaboration. External : Engage with suppliers and external stakeholders to ensure mission alignment. Why Join Us Impactful Ownership : Lead a core propulsion module from concept to qualification within dynamic engine programs. Cross-Site Leadership : Gain extensive experience working with teams across multiple locations. Grow and Mentor : Contribute to the growth of future engineering talent and drive continuous improvements in a high-performance environment. This role entails access to U.S. export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon meeting the criteria as a U.S. Person.
