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.

Innovation through diversity of thought. At Pratt & Whitney, we believe diversity of thought enables creativity, innovation, and a foundation for inclusion. By fostering an inclusive culture, we accept a shared accountability and responsibility to recognize, sponsor, coach, hire, and promote talent equally. We welcome our employees to be their whole - best - selves at work because trust, respect, and integrity, are a part of our DNA.

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

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide technical expertise and work with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to characterize (including composition, structure, thermal and mechanical properties over long time frames in a range of relevant environments) next generation advanced materials for current and future propulsion systems.

• Work closely with manufacturing and engineering Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to develop new process parameters, achieving targeted product improvements.

• Collaborate with process engineers and modeling engineers to model improved materials and provide data for model validation. Develop and implement modeling solutions, subsequently conducting studies and evaluation of system and subsystem performance.

• Participate in root cause analysis when required for abnormal processes, material composition or performance.

• Develop creative solutions to resolve challenges or improve material performance including filing for patents or documenting trade secrets as applicable.

• Establish robust methods for verifying material performance in a production environment to ensure high product integrity.

• Develop methods for assessing materials after test and flight service exposures. Use this data to assist in further development of test methods and establishment of acceptance criteria during maintenance, repair and overhaul.

• Define simulation project requirements and objectives, generate statements of work, define timelines and ensure on-time completion of projects.

• Accountable for producing professional analysis summary reports. Trusted to work on multiple simulation projects simultaneously with limited supervision and able to verify and validate simulation with experimental results.

  Basic qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree from ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or (STEM) Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics.

• 10+ years of Engineering experience, or 7+ years with an advanced degree.

• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract.

• Experience working with computational design and analysis tools such as Fluent, Abaqus, Ansys, COMSOL multi-physics and Matlab/Python

• Understanding of fundamental physics behind modeling methodology

  Preferred qualifications:

• Advanced degree in Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related STEM degree

• Experience with polymer, metal, or ceramic matrix composites modeling experience

• Experience with modeling, simulation and/or statistical analysis of the behavior and performance of existing or proposed engineering solutions

• Experience in material and process development for ceramic matrix composites, or other advance ceramic systems with complex microstructure requirements

• Demonstrated expertise of ceramic property-process-microstructure relationships

• Knowledge and effective practice of Environmental, Health and Safety requirements

• Knowledge and effective practice of aerospace quality practices like AS9100 and/or ISO9001

• Experience developing and presenting technical presentations. Strong oral and written communication skills

What is my role type?

In addition to transforming the future of flight, we are also transforming how and where we work. We’ve introduced role types to help you understand how you will operate in our blended work environment. This role is:

• Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite. This includes all production and maintenance workers, as they are essential to the development of our engines.

Candidates will learn more about role type and current site status throughout the recruiting process. For onsite and hybrid roles, commuting to and from the assigned site is the employee’s personal responsibility.

This requisition is eligible for an employee referral award. ALL eligibility requirements must be met to receive the referral award.

The salary range for this role is 130,000 USD - 272,000 USD. The salary range provided is a good faith estimate representative of all experience levels. RTX considers several factors when extending an offer, including but not limited to, the role, function and associated responsibilities, a candidate’s work experience, location, education/training, and key skills.

Hired applicants may be eligible for benefits, including but not limited to, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays. Specific benefits are dependent upon the specific business unit as well as whether or not the position is covered by a collective-bargaining agreement.

Hired applicants may be eligible for annual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs depending on the level of the position and whether or not it is covered by a collective-bargaining agreement. Payments under these annual programs are not guaranteed and are dependent upon a variety of factors including, but not limited to, individual performance, business unit performance, and/or the company’s performance.

This role is a U.S.-based role. If the successful candidate resides in a U.S. territory, the appropriate pay structure and benefits will apply.

RTX anticipates the application window closing approximately 40 days from the date the notice was posted. However, factors such as candidate flow and business necessity may require RTX to shorten or extend the application window.
