• Participate in rotational assignments to gain technical depth and leadership skills through the EDP.
• Design and develop military exhaust components, with an emphasis on performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary IPT members to deliver integrated hardware solutions.
• Support validation and testing activities for development engines.
• Apply engineering principles to solve complex mechanical challenges in high-temperature environments.

What You Will Learn

• This position is a part of our Engineering Development Program (EDP). EDP participants will complete three to four rotations to build technical breadth and leadership abilities before graduating from the program.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.
• Experience with CAD (Siemens NX or Solidworks).
• Minimum 3.0 Cumulative GPA

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

Qualifications We Prefer

• Experience with gas turbine exhaust, augmenter systems, or combustors.
• Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated communication and collaboration capabilities in a team.
• Ability to work onsite and interface with hands-on engineering and testing teams.
• 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).
