Senior Design Transmissions Engineer

Pratt & Whitney is seeking a Senior Design Transmissions Engineer for our Mechanical Systems, Externals, and Nacelles (MSEN) Transmissions Team. In this role, you will perform transmissions design and analysis on commercial and military engine programs, present results during reviews, and participate in multidisciplinary integrated product teams. Hardware supported includes the fan drive gear system, accessory gearboxes, compartment bevel gears, lube pumps, and supplier-designed components.

What You Will Do:

• Perform design and analysis in support of all phases of the product life cycle, including preliminary design, detailed design, development testing and validation, certification, delivery support, and post-engine production & service support.
• Monitor gearbox health during rig validation testing, perform test data reduction and analysis, and confirm test objectives are met.
• Support field investigations.
• Participate in EKS improvement/creation.
• Use gear design and analysis tools to define gear geometry and confirm full life capability.
• Participate as the transmissions team representative on multi-discipline teams to provide design solutions that balance customer requirements for durability, performance, cost and weight.
• Work to advance technology and improve engineering standard work processes/methods.
• Document design and analysis results and present conclusions to PW management and external customers.
• Travel Requirement: 10% (Domestic, International).

What You Will Learn:

• End-to-end engineering exposure—from initial preliminary gear design and data reduction during rig validation testing, all the way through to certification, manufacturing, and real-world field investigations.
• Directly shape and analyze critical aerospace components across both commercial and military programs, including fan drive gear systems, accessory gearboxes, compartment bevel gears, and lube pumps.
• Serve as the technical authority for the transmissions team on multi-disciplinary teams, balancing customer requirements (cost, weight, performance) while actively updating Pratt & Whitney's Engineering Standard Work (EKS) to advance corporate technology.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• A Bachelor's degree in Engineering and 5 years prior relevant experience, or an Advanced Degree in a related field and 3 years prior relevant experience. Relevant experience includes direct, hands-on experience in the design, development, manufacture, production, or overhaul of gas turbine engine components.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• A Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering or actively pursuing an Advanced degree in a related field.
• Active U.S. government-issued security clearance.
• Demonstrated ability to seamlessly coordinate complex engineering tasks and communicate high-level technical data effectively across cross-functional teams and all levels of management.

What We Offer:

• Eligible for Relocation.
