Lead Mechanical Design Engineer - Turbomachinery

About the role

Be part of a team responsible for the mechanical design, simulation, analysis and test of fans and compressors (FanC) in gas turbine engine (turbomachinery) applications within Honeywell Aerospace Engines and Power Systems. You will support currently fielded products and contribute towards development of new products for a variety of turbofan, turboshaft and auxiliary power unit (APU) applications. You will apply principles of design, physics, mathematics and software development to perform a broad variety of engineering tasks. You will contribute to continuous improvement of design, analysis and simulation methods.

Responsibilities

• Lead activities related to mechanical design of rotating and static turbomachinery components such as rotors, stators, blisks, disks and impellers
• Lead design and analysis tasks including modal, vibration, deflection, crack growth, burst, fatigue, thermal and stack analysis with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) as a core responsibility
• Lead testing of components and engine modules in various lifecycle stages (rig, development, production) and perform data reduction/analysis on test data
• Generate documentation capturing engineering results and findings following design, simulation, analysis and test activities
• Oversee generation and presentation of engineering artifacts during structured design reviews
• Lead technical mentoring, process/tool improvement and knowledge capture efforts
• Lead teams of junior engineers in performing day-to-day technical tasks
• Lead proposal activities supporting various commercial and military customers
