Mech Design Engr I

As a Mechanical Design Engineer 1, in the CDA organization, here at Honeywell Aerospace, you will be a key contributor to the design and development of cutting-edge mechanical solutions. Your knowledge of mechanical design and methodologies will ensure that the products developed under your guidance meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Component Design & Analysis (CDA) is a Center of Excellence responsible and accountable for the engineering design, analysis, development, certification and support of structural and mechanical systems components for all Aerospace power system products.

CDA is responsible for ensuring the mechanical integrity of the structural parts used on gas turbine engines. These responsibilities include the design, development, testing, and field support of static structure components which must meet requirements for life, cost, weight, maintainability, and durability.

Applicants must have strong knowledge in the field of heat transfer. Working knowledge is required of convection attributes involved in laminar and turbulent flow, boundary layer theory, and general flow and energy balance calculations. Familiarity with radiation parameters and associated design considerations is also expected.

Experience with finite element modeling should include conjugate heat transfer analysis, along with foundational skills in stress and vibration analysis. In this role, the candidate will develop robust design solutions for both new and existing products and clearly communicate analytical results during design reviews, supported by the required documentation to meet program objectives.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Perform 2D full-engine thermal-deflection analysis using ANSYS for the purposes of determining:
• Component temperature gradients
• Component radial tip clearances and axial clearances
• Creation and development of sound design solutions for newly proposed and existing products
• Work effectively with design teams, global teams and chief engineers.
• Working productivity initiatives to advance the current state of the art and establish standardized processes for criteria, guidelines and practices.

TRAVEL EXPECTATIONS

All applicants must be willing to travel, up to 10% of their time.


Qualifications
U.S. PERSON REQUIREMENTS

Due to compliance with U.S. export control laws and regulations, candidate must be a U.S. person, which is defined as, a U.S. citizen, a U.S. permanent resident, or have protected status in the U.S. under asylum or refugee status.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

Candidate must report to site PR08 at PR-110 Km 5.9, Bo. Montaña, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.

YOU MUST HAVE

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics
• 2+ years of experience in a mechanical engineering field
• 2+ years of heat transfer analysis experience using ANSYS FEA software
• Ability to speak, write and read English

WE VALUE

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related field
• Ability to guide and mentor junior engineers
• Knowledge of the gas turbine engine industry
• 3D modeling (CAD) and FEA (ANSYS, etc.) of gas turbine engine static structures and systems
• Proven understanding and application of solid mechanics, dynamics, fatigue, and finite element analysis
• Excellent communication skills (written and oral) are required to interact with engineering teams, other disciplines, and the customer
• Knowledge of Six Sigma tools and application
• Understanding of AI/ML such as class/project work or work experience on machine learning techniques, LLMs and AI assisted software development.
