Electric Propulsion System Engineers (EPSE) architect, design, and develop game-changing hybrid‑electric propulsion system. EPSE engineers work across all CDS subdisciplines to help achieve program objectives of the CDS CIPT. EPSE engineers apply skills from across a wide range of PW Engineering disciplines such as Performance, Operability, Mechanical Disciplines, Aerothermal Management, to develop, integrate and certify subsystems and hardware for Civil and Military customers.
EPSE engineers work the entire system life cycle from
1) control system technology development,
2) interpreting customer requirements, decomposing them to hardware and software,
3) technical and project oversight of hardware implementation, to
4) ensuring control system compliance across engine, flight and customer compliance testing, and finally,
5) leading system and hardware field issue triage and resolution. EPSE engineers work collaboratively with industry partners, including key suppliers and customers, in a team environment, to advance the technology readiness level of emerging hybrid‑electric systems and components. EPSE engineers support the concept design definition, system integration, prototype testing and product detail design development, certification and validation, both for systems and components.
EPSE engineers support technical proposals, cost estimates, concept trade‑off analysis and modeling, in support of advanced hybrid‑electric.
