Position Description

The technology group is responsible for the technical evaluation of new and/or derivative engines for existing and future Boeing airplanes. The intent of this activity is to predict the performance and thrust capability of proposed engine(s) and identify risk concerns and develop mitigation plans. The group is also responsible for the continued development of new and/or existing tools that support the aforementioned functions. This position calls for a turbomachinery aerodynamic design/analysis engineer who will take over the development of tools as related to overall engine cycle analysis and design along with component analysis design methods covering fans, propellers, compressors (axial radial) and turbines (axial radial). The successful candidate is also expected to work with the rest of the team members as well as customers on Product Development to prioritize and organize the plans for the development of the application tools.

Tools required/desired: The successful candidate will have a bachelor's degree or higher in Mechanical engineering or Aeronautics and a minimum of 10 years of propulsion engineering experience with emphasis in turbomachinery aerodynamics. Advanced degrees can be used in lieu of some of the experience. Fluency with computer programming languages (FORTRAN and C++) is a must. Familiarity with turbomachinery analysis tools (e.g. fan, compressor, turbine meanline, streamline curvature and CFD codes) are expected. Knowledge of NPSS is a plus.
