• Work closely with IPT members and regulatory authorities on hardware field investigations to drive root cause and recommend product improvements
• Proactively monitor, characterize, and trend part condition data in support of durability, safety, limits expansion, and repair activities
• Provide technical support to engine center operations through interpretation of technical data and communication of special engineering requests
• Support engineering goals of improving Flight Safety, reducing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) occurrences, improving the GTF product, and maturing the PW1000G MRO network
• Up to 10% travel may be required

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field
• Minimum Cumulative GPA of 3.0

Qualifications We Prefer

• Previous Engineering Internship, Co-op, or Collegiate Engineering Design Team Experience
