Design Engineer - Mechanical Systems

Design Engineer - Mechanical Systems

Indianapolis, IN

A new opportunity has arisen for a Mechanical Design Engineer for Rolls-Royce. As a design engineer you will provide mechanical designs and technical support for a range of components and sub-systems on the AE product line. This will include turbine section vanes, blades, blade tracks, structural components, and assemblies. While the turbine section will be the main focus and development depth, flexing to work on other component and subsystems within the AE engine family will help the Design Engineer develop breadth and contribute in crucial ways to the Program's success

Innovate & Power the World

At Rolls-Royce, we look beyond tomorrow. We continually pioneer integrated power and propulsion solutions to deliver cleaner, safer, and more competitive power.

You will work to create design definitions that meet the given sub-system requirements and product attributes. This is an exciting role where you will be able to apply your strong technical knowledge in mechanical design methodologies and understand cross-discipline engineering concepts which include, but are not limited to manufacturing engineering, compressor aerodynamics, thermodynamics, cost engineering and product definition.

We deliver the best jet engines in the world. Through intelligent innovation and active collaboration, we’re putting our customers at the forefront of the aviation industry - and we keep them there. Our product portfolio powers more than 35 types of commercial aircraft, and with over 13,000 engines in-service around the world - we’re keeping the world flying.
