Engine Performance & Operability Engineer

• →Own steady-state and transient cycle-modeling and operability-analysis scope for Superpower and Symphony, with documented assumptions and checks.
• →Assess stall margin and operability across transients, start behavior, and load response with component and controls teams.
• →Define performance and operability test questions and instrumentation needs with the test team.
• →Reduce test data, reconcile measured results with predictions, and calibrate models with evidence.
• →Integrate compressor, turbine, combustion, and secondary-air trades into engine-level recommendations and answer customer power and heat-rate questions.
• →Build shared PyCycle models and tools that make recurring analyses reproducible.

• Aerothermodynamic fundamentals and depth in engine performance or operability appropriate to your level.
• Hands-on use of NPSS, PyCycle, GasTurb, or a comparable engine-analysis environment through industry, research, or substantial academic projects.
• Ability to explain component assumptions, maps, limits, and uncertainty behind a cycle prediction.
• Test, laboratory, or research exposure to instrumentation, data reduction, or model-to-data comparison.
• Python or equivalent used for reproducible engineering analysis, with clear technical communication.

• Transient, starting, or sub-idle modeling experience.
• Ownership of stall-margin stack-ups and design/control trades.
• Free-power-turbine or industrial-gas-turbine experience alongside aero-engine work, or the reverse.
• Experience building tested, documented engineering tools others maintain and use.

• You want to own an engine-level answer, not stop at a converged model or a component boundary.
• You use hardware data to challenge your own assumptions and improve the next design or test decision.
• You can give a clear recommendation under uncertainty and build methods teammates can trust.
