Engineer II, Chemical Process (CVI/CVD) ( Onsite)

Pratt & Whitney is seeking a highly motivated individual to support the manufacturing maturation of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) turbine components. CMCs are an enabling material that increases the temperature capability of jet engine components. Through successful development and application of these materials, P&W will deliver engines that are more fuel efficient, lighter weight and more durable for commercial and military applications.

The CVI/CVD Engineer’s responsibilities include:

• Develop and managing processes for Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) and Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) to produce ceramic matrix composites.
• Work closely with manufacturing and engineering integrated teams to develop new processes and implement new designs into production and to eliminate quality turn backs, escapes, and reduce overall product costs.
• Play an active role in the Integrated Product Team process for CMC turbine components
• Provide focused & effective leadership in eliminating EH&S/Ergonomics/Human Factors risks and addressing quality issues as processes transition into production.
• Create and implement strategies for automation to improve quality and minimize process cost
• Identify & implement shop floor process optimization, control methods, and work instructions (including specifications, engineering changes, QAD/process control, and tooling definition/requirements.)
• Lead the strategy for comprehensive data collection and analysis from this process that will support robust process development and understanding as part of the digital thread for CMCs. This includes establishing methods for data collection, data analysis and data visualization to enable statistical process control (SPC)
• Establish metrics for the process including yield, cost, cycle time, capacity, safety, delivery etc. Monitor outcomes to identify and implement improvement opportunities
• Lead the advancement of CVI Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) and support hardware production for Technology Readiness Level (TRL) demonstration
• Conduct root cause investigations as required and implement corrective actions
• Training of engineers and technicians
• Monitor and improve OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) through implementation of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) practices
• Identify, investigate and implement new technology to address business goals
• Support a 24/7 operation as required

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree
• 2+ years relevant experience in Engineering or Engineering Research

Preferred Qualifications:

• Degree in Engineering discipline with 3.0 GPA or higher preferred.
• Experience developing new processes and successful transition to production
• Experience making, testing or analyzing CMCs
• Experience with CVI or CVD processes and equipment
• Ability to program control systems including PLC ladder logic
• A working-knowledge of quality and process improvement tools such as Six Sigma and LEAN
• Ability to read and interpret technical drawings
• Strong oral and written communication skills
• Ability to develop strong interpersonal relationships and exercise influence
• Ability to lead small teams to deliver outstanding results and overcome challenges
• Knowledge and effective practice of Environmental, Health and Safety requirements
• Knowledge and effective practice of aerospace quality practices like ISO9001 AS9100
