Entry-Level Design Engineer

Location: Lake Worth Beach

This role is restricted to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to export‑controlled technology. FTT will require proof of status prior to employment.

General Job Summary

Designs and analyzes aircraft mechanical, propulsion, component structures, systems, and processes. Carry out design and performance for new and redesign turbine hardware, non‑turbine engine structures, field failures and production support.

Aerodynamics

Performs airfoil design and computational fluid dynamics analyses for commercial, space and military engine programs. Responsibilities will include all aspects of the aero‑design process including conceptual design, airfoil and flow‑path geometry creation through utilization of CAD programs, computational fluid dynamics analyses, identifying and resolving complex aerodynamic technical challenges, along with test correlation and support. This position provides opportunities for diverse technical challenges to work on a unique set of advanced programs in a close team environment.

Design

Responsibilities will include all aspects of the design process including: clean sheet conceptual design, preliminary structural and heat transfer analyses, working closely with the analytical community to solve complex technical objectives, product definition through CAD modeling, GD&T, and drafting, working with in‑house machinists, manufacturing operation engineers and suppliers to acquire components efficiently and cost effectively, supporting hands‑on in house assembly and instrumentation, and provide test support.

Heat Transfer

Assists in the development of airfoil cooling designs, secondary flow requirements, and advanced heat management systems, through classical physic‑based hand calculations and computational simulation of heat transfer, fluid dynamic behavior and correlation with experimental simulation and engine testing.

Manufacturing Operations Engineer

The manufacturing operations engineer (MOE) will have the desire and educational background to support projects with requirements related to manufactured hardware. Professional or internship experience is preferred but not required. This role will require basic understanding of project & manufacturing engineering, as the MOE will support integrated product teams (IPTs) by setting up and maintaining Bills of Materials (BoMs), managing internal & external manufacturing‑related activities, maintaining external supplier relationships, and interfacing with Quality Engineering to ensure that product and non‑product are in line with company quality procedures and to disposition any non‑conforming material.

Background in metallurgy, joining operations, coatings, and additive manufacturing techniques are a plus but can be learned on the job.

Structures

Responsible for the structural design and analysis of new or upgraded turbo machinery hardware, focused on stress, vibration, and life analyses. Through physics based finite element analysis and classical hand calculations, the structural engineer will analyze complex components and assemblies exposed to extreme loading and temperature environments. Working in an interdisciplinary team, the engineer will evolve the design based on these results to meet all requirements.

Essential Job Functions

• Use computer‑aided design and analysis tools to perform complex engineering tasks.
• Conduct feasibility studies and testing on new or modified assemblies and components.
• Document changes through a formal engineering change notification process.
• Apply company policies and procedures to resolve routine issues.
• Works on problems of limited scope.
• Build stable working relationships internally.
• Normally receive detailed instructions on all work.
• Other job duties as assigned.
