The Propulsion Engineer plays a critical role in supporting the execution of an aeroderivative engine program within a live MRO environment. This individual operates at the intersection of engineering and production, providing hands-on technical support during engine build, maintenance, and testing activities while contributing to the development and improvement of the propulsion systems. This is not a traditional design-focused engineering role. It is a highly execution-driven position that requires direct engagement on the shop floor, working closely with technicians, production teams, and engineering to resolve technical issues, evaluate hardware, and support engine performance and reliability. Success in this role requires strong mechanical aptitude, the ability to operate in fast-paced environments, and confidence in making technical decisions with incomplete information. Responsibilities: Propulsion Engineer Provide hands-on technical support during engine build, maintenance, and troubleshooting activities within a live production environment. Troubleshoot mechanical and technical issues in real time, supporting technicians and production teams during engine strip and build activities. Evaluate unserviceable engine hardware and support repair, reuse, and disposition decisions to improve asset utilization and reduce scrap. Participate in MRB activities, engineering investigations, and technical findings resolution to support operational timelines and turnaround objectives. Support engine validation, testing, and integration activities across evolving engine configurations and propulsion systems. Develop and maintain technical instructions, repair documentation, and engineering recommendations to support consistent execution across operations. Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, production, and shop teams to resolve technical challenges and improve overall engine reliability. Requirements: Propulsion Engineer 5+ years of experience supporting aircraft engines, turbomachinery, or similar propulsion systems within aerospace, power generation, or industrial environments. Strong understanding of production, maintenance, or MRO environments, with the ability to support technicians directly on the shop floor. Proven ability to assess engine components and determine repair, reuse, or disposition pathways based on hardware condition. Hands-on mechanical troubleshooting experience, with the ability to resolve real-world technical issues in fast-paced environments. Strong understanding of engine modules, mechanical systems, and how propulsion components function together operationally. Ability to operate independently in dynamic environments with shifting priorities, tight timelines, and evolving technical challenges. Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering and production teams. Compensation: Propulsion Engineer A meaningful compensation package will be developed for the successful candidate that includes a base salary plus performance-based bonus. #J-18808-Ljbffr
