Lead Mechanical Design Engineer

Lead Mechanical Design Engineer

Join our team as a Lead Mechanical Design Engineer, where you will spearhead the mechanical design and development of advanced aerospace components and systems. Ensure innovative, reliable, and high-performance solutions that meet stringent industry standards and customer expectations. This role is pivotal in advancing aerospace technologies by leading design efforts, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, and driving the successful integration of mechanical systems into cutting-edge aerospace products.

Rotor Dynamics is a special mechanical engineering focus that studies the vibration, stability, and dynamics (i.e., a function of speed) behavior of rotating systems such as Fans, Compressors, & Turbines used in Jet Engines.

1) Do you have at least 5 years of experience conducting such analysis to predict critical speed, create whirl speed map or Campbell diagram, & predict displacement, force, & moment due to imbalance?
