About the role
Key Responsibilities:
• Mechanical design of bearing compartments, sump housings, oil nozzles, scavenge features, and support structures for rotating shafts and modules.
• Develop and manage 3D CAD models and 2D detailed drawings of:
• Oil feed and scavenge systems (tubes, fittings, manifolds)
• Bearing supports and retention systems
• Sump pressurization and ventilation elements
• Design and integrate dynamic sealing systems (labyrinth, brush, carbon face seals) between sump chambers and core flow paths.
• Implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) across forged, cast, and machined housings and plumbing assemblies.
• Define tolerances, interfaces, and joining techniques for complex assemblies.
• Participate in engine build, test preparation, and integration reviews.
Qualifications & Experience:
• Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering degree or a related field.
• Strong background in gas turbine propulsion, mechanical design, integrity and heat transfer.
• Fluent in English
• Experience: 5-15 years or more.
• Experience in one or a combination of the activities, not limited to
o Design of gas turbine externals and accessories i.e., fuel pump, oil pump, bleed lines.
o Design and sizing of disks, shafts, couplings, connection elements.
o Design and sizing of accessory gearbox, shaft power off-take
o FRACAS (Failure Reporting, Analysis, & Corrective Action System) activities.
