The Materials & Processes Engineering and Mechanical Disciplines (MPE + MD) department is seeking talented engineering candidates to join our Engineering Development Program.

What You Will Do

• Responsible for engine component, materials and/or chemical process development, analyses, testing and other support functions for both commercial and military engine applications.
• Specific tasks may include mechanical testing, structural analysis or structural software tool development, materials analysis, metallurgical or chemical analysis, inspection processes or coating property analysis.
• Document and analyze data/results, prepare reports and presentations, draw conclusions and make recommendations based on their findings.

What You Will Learn

By becoming a member of the Pratt & Whitney Engineering Development Program (EDP), you will receive hands-on training to help you build your career in aerospace. This accelerated program will provide you an opportunity for professional growth as a college new hire and train you to be a future leader of the organization.

College undergraduate and graduate hires are allowed to complete three to four assignments to build technical breadth and leadership abilities before graduating from the program. These rotations are complimented by discipline-specific training that will accelerate the development of EDP participants.

The program typically consists of 3-4 rotations over 36 months in the areas of:

• Materials development for aerospace alloys, coatings and polymers/composites
• Materials and engine component analysis through electron microscopy and other scattering techniques
• Process and analytical chemistry
• Non-destructive evaluation
• Mechanics of material and component behavior
• Fatigue and fracture mechanics modeling
• High cycle fatigue / vibrations analytical capabilities
• System strength modeling
• Materials property and process modeling
• Material data analysis, statistics and applications to engine design

Following the EDP, the participant is expected to outplace in a group that aligns with their longer-term career goals and interests.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor's degree in Materials Science Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.
• Experience with common materials characterization and test methods. This may include but is not limited to mechanical test methods, thermal analysis, spectroscopy and microscopy methods.
• Minimum 3.0 Cumulative GPA

Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools and demonstrated experience working effectively in teams as both a leader and a participant.
• Prior RTX internship, co-op, or work experience.

What We Offer

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value:
  Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
• Selected candidate will be automatically enrolled in the P&W Engineering Development Program (Rotational Program within P&W).
