Why join our team?

P&W's NSE team is developing a new hybrid-electric propulsion technology that will significantly improve the aircraft's efficiency. By optimizing performance in the various phases of flight, this will enable a reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to a modern turboprop regional airliner. The NSE is a central component of the future hybrid-electric propulsion system and is a vital product for several P&W initiatives at the aerospace propulsion frontier.

What will your day-to-day look like?

Your day might start with reaching out to others in the team who asked for your support on a task to validate that you're on the right track, a review of the modification to the instruments necessary for capturing the data, or by a structural, fluid or durability analysis of the engine components. The kind of work varies from day to day, and the follow up with sub-projects is needed on a daily basis. Outside of your day-to-day tasks, you will propose and own projects and have concrete milestones towards their completion. You'll lend a hand to colleagues and team members who reach out to you for help and will eagerly contribute in whatever way is needed to advance the team's mission to have first flight

• Follow up with part orders and inventory of parts.

What do you need to be successful?

• Be eligible to work in Canada.

• Good communication skills in French and in English (spoken/written)
• Organizational skills and ability to work under pressure with competing and varying priorities, project management skills and being autonomous.
