Come ready to explore and you’ll find a place where your talent takes flight—beyond the borders of title, a country or your comfort zone. Bring your passion and commitment and we’ll welcome you into a tight-knit team that takes our mission personally. Channel your drive to make a difference into shaping an organization and an industry that’s evolving fast to the future.

At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?

Pratt & Whitney India Engineering Center is looking for a highly motivated Structures Engineer to join our Aftermarket & Sustainment Engineering, Commercial Repairs team. This position involves analyzing repairs to ensure they meet original equipment manufacturing (OEM) requirements, supporting customer safety, cost, and reliability objectives.  ASE is uniquely linked between the engine development / certification and aftermarket and field support engine life cycles. This results in our repairs having a direct impact on the bottom line of Pratt & Whitney’s maintenance repair and overhaul revenue and success. The Structures Engineer closely interacts with fellow ASE engineers from structures, design, project, and program, to develop technical data to meet safety, quality, delivery, and cost requirements.

• Perform structural assessments of repairs to commercial engine components with minimal guidance.
• Awareness of Integrated Product Development (IPD), Structures Engineering Knowledge System (EKS), and the Product Design Review process.
• Support coordination of structural analysis requirements for repairs with other ASE technical disciplines and module centers/ Component Integrated Product Teams (CIPTs).
• Participate on multi-disciplinary teams to develop design solutions that meet design and life requirements.
• Work on structural analysis solutions with minimal guidance when historical solutions are not available or applicable. Analysis may include both classical methods and/or detailed Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Support co-ordination with others to advance technology and improve engineering standard work processes/methods, plus document and present results to management and customers.

• Gain experience in structural assessments of commercial engine components while working on cutting-edge repair solutions.
• Build expertise in Integrated Product Development (IPD), Structures Engineering Knowledge System (EKS), and the Product Design Review process.
• Develop collaboration skills by working with multidisciplinary teams across technical disciplines and module centers.
• Strengthen knowledge in advanced structural analysis methods, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
• Gain understanding of manufacturing and repair processes and their impact on component integrity.
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and implement innovative solutions.

• Strong Solid Mechanics fundamentals is essential
• Understanding low cycle fatigue and fatigue and fracture analysis theory and applications.
• Fluent in ANSYS APDL/ Workbench. Fluency in any other FEA software is added advantage.
• Experience using Pratt & Whitney/industry lifing systems: PWLIFE, ARLS, or crack growth (SURCK, Darwin, Franc3D) systems a plus.
• Awareness of manufacturing and/or repair processes.
• Background in turbomachinery with prior experience of working on structural assessment of aero engine/gas turbine components
• Prior experience of working on Aftermarket repairs would be added advantage
• Fluency in programming languages like python, VBA etc. would be added advantage
• Familiarity with Raytheon Technologies CORE Operating System

In addition to transforming the future of flight, we are also transforming how and where we work. We’ve introduced role types to help you understand how you will operate in our blended work environment. This role is:
