Propulsion Engineer 2\3
2 - Supports definition of requirements for propulsion engine and strut systems, auxiliary power systems and engine fire protection systems.
Supports definitions, coordination and control of the functional and physical interfaces between the
propulsion systems and the vehicle. Assists in the development of specifications and architectural and configuration
concepts for associated vehicle systems to meet customer and regulatory requirements. Assists in the design of
propulsion sub-systems and components to meet all vehicle design and performance criteria. Assists in the use of
various testing, analysis, modeling and simulation tools to estimate or calculate system performance. Assists in
defining and performing certification tests for propulsion sub-systems and end item components
(i.e. Strut systems installations, Engine systems installations, Aux Power Unit, fire protection systems). Assists in supporting fielded
systems to assure continued reliability and airworthiness. Works alongside more experienced Propulsion designers to support development of concepts for future propulsion
systems to meet anticipated requirements. Works under general supervision of Lead Engineer or Manager.

Competencies
General• Adaptability
Generally understands changes in own and others' work-group tasks and situations as well as the logic or basis for change; generally seeks information about changes affecting own and fellow employees' jobs. Treats changes and new situations as opportunities for learning or growth; focuses on the beneficial aspects of change; speaks positively about the change to work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups. Quickly modifies behavior to deal effectively with changes in the work environment; readily tries new approaches appropriate for new or changed situations; does not persist with ineffective behaviors.
• Build Positive Relationships
Generally builds effective working relationships with work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups. Asks for and provides information of to clarify situations. Seeks and expands on original ideas, enhances others' ideas, and contributes own ideas about the issues at hand. Usually places higher priority on team or departmental goals than on own goals. Seeks agreement from work group members, direct supervisor, and occasionally members of others work groups to support ideas or take partnership-oriented action; explains value of actions. Generally establishes good interpersonal relationships by helping people feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions.
• Coaching/Teaching
Generally clarifies expected behaviors, knowledge, and level of proficiency by seeking and giving information and checking for understanding. Usually provides instruction, positive models, and opportunities for observation in order to help work group members and occasionally members of others work groups to develop skills; encourages questions to ensure understanding. Offers timely, appropriate feedback on performance; reinforces efforts and progress. Generally establishes good interpersonal relationships by helping work group members and occasionally members of others work groups feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions.
• Initiating Action
Generally takes independent action when confronted with routine problems or situations. Implements new ideas or potential solutions without prompting; does not wait for others to take action or to request action. Occasionally takes action that goes beyond job requirements in order to achieve objectives.
• Systems Thinking
Generally evaluates job tasks and processes on how well they help meet work group objective(s); attempts to identify non-value-adding components and barriers. Seeks input from others within work group and occasionally other internal employees to evaluate options for change and encourage buy-in. Supports changes to job/role structures and processes by communicating effectively and focusing on new skill development. Participates in measurement systems to monitor the implementation.
