At RTX, the world largest aerospace and defense company, 185,000 great minds are united by purpose and inspired to make a difference solving the world’s most complex problems. With our three market leading businesses, world-class operations and investments in research and development, we offer capabilities and opportunity no one else can. Together, we push the boundaries of known science and find new ways to connect and protect our world.

Pratt & Whitney is a world leader in the design, manufacture and service of aircraft engines and auxiliary power systems and has been revolutionizing modern flight for over 100 years. Join us and help shape the future of aerospace and defense.

Pratt & Whitney’s Mechanical Systems, Externals, and Nacelles (MSEN) engineering module is seeking a highly motivated Structures Engineer to join our team.

The selected candidate will:

Perform structural analysis for Externals and Mechanical Systems hardware throughout preliminary design, detailed design, validation, certification, and support for manufacturing and operational service.
Serve as the structural representative on multi-disciplinary integrated product teams, providing balanced design solutions that meet customer requirements for durability, performance, cost, and weight.
Support validation test activities (engine and rig), including live monitoring of instrumentation relative to limits, post‑processing of test data, and evaluation against program requirements.
Assist with in‑service field investigations.
Conduct Finite Element Analysis using ANSYS, Workbench, and Teamcenter, while applying classical methods for strength, stress/deflection, vibration, fatigue life, and damage tolerance.
Contribute to technology development and continuous improvement of engineering standard work processes and methods.
