Propulsion Nacelle and Systems Design Engineer Entry Level
Supports definition of requirements for propulsion systems, auxiliary power systems and nacelle design (i.e. Inlet, Nozzle, Thrust Reverser, exhaust, etc.). Assists to define, coordinate and control the functional and physical interfaces between the propulsion system and the airplane. Assists in developing specifications for associated airplane systems to meet customer and regulatory requirements. Documents configurations and designs of propulsion sub-systems and components. Assists in using various testing, modeling and simulation methods to estimate or improve system performance (weight, cost, producibility). Assists in support of certification tests for propulsion sub-systems and components. Assists in supporting fielded systems to assure continued reliability and airworthiness. Supports development of concepts for future propulsion systems to meet anticipated requirements. Works under close supervision.
