Lead Engineer in Engine Dynamics in Rivalta di Torino, Italy

Job Description Summary

System Design Technologies (SDT) team operates within Advanced Technologies Operations (ATO), a group that matures the next generation of technologies and propulsion systems, which will enable the future of flights and dealing with advanced military and innovative engine architectures.

The Engine Dynamics Lead Engineer has the fundamental task to investigate how multiple components assembled together, to build a complex system, might interact and participate to the definition of the overall system vibratory behavior and how such a system reacts to external and internal excitations.

In this role you will utilize your engineering experience to solve problems, execute and develop engineering methodologies and tools, to grow technologies and affect business goals in the broad context of the system dynamics, which includes rotor-dynamics, torsional dynamics, frequency response, rotor-stability, prognostic and health monitoring (PHM), with the following purposes:

• Support and execute system dynamics analyses as needed by New Product Introduction (NPI) from its initial concept through the full certification process.

• Contribute to advance the dynamics technology roadmap through New Technologies Introduction (NTI) programs execution.

• Evaluate possible new design solutions via trade studies on legacy models. Suggest and provide design solutions for the challenges related to system dynamics.

• Implement the guidelines/inputs received in order to improve/upgrade design processes from the Dynamic analysis perspective.

• Support experimental test diagnostic and field investigations

• According with the field lesson learnt provide feedback to improve/align current Design Practices and methods.

This role will provide the opportunity to grow the system view and the capability to understand and solve complex integration exercises, as well as the opportunity to develop a specific knowledge of a widely spread area of influence the discipline of system dynamics covers.
