Where the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?
Senior Laboratory Mechanical Test Technician
Pratt & Whitney is seeking a highly motivated individual to support research, development, and production 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.
Primary Responsibilities:
The Senior Laboratory Mechanical Test Technician will be primarily responsible for performing mechanical testing (stress/strain, fatigue, etc.) on ceramic matrix composites. Tests utilize hydraulic and/or electromechanical systems including: extensometers, thermocouples, load cells, strain gages, and deflectometers / LDVTs. The Technician will be responsible for setting up tests, operating equipment, data capture, equipment maintenance and will be empowered to contribute to data analysis.
Microscopy experience is also desired but not required (i.e., sample sectioning, mounting, polishing, and microscope evaluation).
Basic Qualifications:
+ Must be a US Citizen or green card holder due to government contracts
+ High school diploma with 3+ years of manufacturing quality-control experience
+ Ability to work from blueprints, sketches, and detailed instruction.
+ At least 3 years of role that demonstrates mechanic aptitude
+ Proven attention to detail
+ Ability to setup highly sensitive and complex fixtures and data acquisition systems.
+ Ability to solder and setup and low voltage electrical systems
+ Experience with Excel and data entry
Preferred Qualifications:
+ Two-year technical degree AA/AS degree (or other 2-year post high school training) with a minimum of 4 years of relevant experience.
+ Experience in product development within an AS9100 certified aerospace company
+ Trigonometry, Geometry, Statistics, and basic math problem-solving skills.
+ Experience performing Mechanical Tests
+ Experience working with Ceramics and/or composites
+ Previous operation and/or maintenance of hydraulic and/or electromechanical systems
+ Experience following ASTM standards
+ Familiarity with the function and application of the following instrumentation
+ Extensometers
+ Thermocouples
+ Load Cells
+ Strain Gages
+ Deflectometers and LVDTs
+ Microscopy experience (i.e., sample sectioning, mounting, polishing, and microscope evaluation).
What is my role type?
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:
Onsite: Employees who are working in Onsite roles will work primarily onsite. This includes all production and maintenance workers, as they are essential to the development of our engines.
Candidates will learn more about role type and current site status throughout the recruiting process. For onsite and hybrid roles, commuting to and from the assigned site is the employee's personal responsibility.
