Define and manage critical interfaces including inlet-to-fan interface, fan-to-compressor interface, and compressor-to-combustor interface.
Fan & Compressor Rotating Hardware Design & Integration
Lead the design, analysis, and qualification of compression system rotating components including fan blades, compressor disks, blades, spacers, and rotor assemblies.
Drive fan and compressor aerodynamic design in collaboration with aerodynamics teams to achieve performance, pressure ratio, efficiency, and operability targets.
Lead mechanical design of compression system rotors including disk stress analysis, blade attachment design, and rotor assembly architecture.
Manage rotor dynamics analysis and ensure proper critical speed margins and vibration characteristics throughout the operating envelope.
Define material selection, surface treatments, and manufacturing processes for rotating components to achieve required durability and foreign object damage (FOD) resistance.
Fan & Compressor Static Hardware Design & Integration
Lead the design and integration of compression system static components including inlet guide vanes, stator vanes, compressor cases, and diffuser hardware.
Design stator assemblies with appropriate aerodynamic profiles, structural support, and variable geometry actuation systems if applicable.
Develop compressor case designs that maintain proper clearances while managing thermal growth, pressure loads, and structural requirements.
Lead the design of compressor sealing systems including labyrinth seals, knife-edge seals, and abradable seal systems to minimize leakage losses and maximize efficiency.
Define static hardware interfaces with adjacent modules including inlet, combustor, and bearing compartments.
Inlet & Flow Path Design
Lead the design of inlet hardware including inlet case, nose cone, inlet guide vanes, and foreign object damage (FOD) protection features.
Ensure inlet design provides uniform flow delivery to the fan while accommodating installation requirements and vehicle integration constraints.
Manage aerodynamic flow path definition from inlet through compressor exit, ensuring smooth transitions and optimized area distributions.
Coordinate with vehicle integrators on inlet installation, boundary layer ingestion considerations, and inlet distortion characteristics.
Design inlet anti-icing systems or ice protection features as required by operating environment.
Compressor-Combustor Interface Design
Lead the design of the compressor discharge region including diffuser, pre-diffuser, and combustor inlet interface.
Ensure proper flow delivery to the combustor with appropriate velocity profiles and pressure recovery.
Define bleed air extraction points and secondary air system offtakes for turbine cooling, bearing compartment pressurization, and other engine systems.
Manage mechanical interfaces between compressor rear structure and combustor case, including load paths and thermal isolation.
Coordinate with combustor team on interface requirements, mounting provisions, and assembly sequences.
Design & Analysis Integration
Guide designers and analysts in developing robust, producible designs that satisfy aerodynamic, structural, vibration, dynamic, and durability requirements as defined in the UERD.
Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, stress, dynamics, materials, and operability teams to ensure balanced, optimized designs.
Drive design trades and margin management to meet performance, weight, operability, and cost targets.
Lead Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and rotordynamics analysis activities for cold section components.
Operability & Stall Margin Management
Ensure compression system design provides adequate stall margin throughout the operating envelope including steady-state and transient conditions.
Collaborate with operability and controls teams to assess compression system stability and response to transients.
Lead design features that enhance operability including variable geometry, bleed systems, or casing treatments as appropriate.
Support engine operability testing and incorporate learning into design improvements.
Manage compression system operability risks and develop mitigation strategies.
Product Development & Execution
Lead cold section hardware scope through concept, preliminary design, detailed design, test, qualification, and entry into service.
Support hardware build, assembly, and test by resolving design issues and incorporating learning into updated configurations.
Ensure design for manufacturability and assembly (DFMA) in partnership with manufacturing engineering and suppliers, considering machining, fabrication, welding, and assembly processes.
Develop and execute component and engine-level test plans to validate cold section performance, operability, and structural integrity.
Requirements & Interfaces
Translate system- and customer-level requirements into clear cold section design requirements and verification plans.
Define and manage interfaces between cold section components and adjacent engine modules including inlet, combustor, mechanical systems, and controls.
Ensure compliance with safety, regulatory, and customer requirements throughout the design process, including FOD tolerance and bird strike requirements.
Manage cold section contribution to overall engine performance, operability, weight, and cost requirements.
IPT Leadership & Coordination
Lead Integrated Product Team (IPT) meetings for cold section hardware, coordinating activities across design, analysis, manufacturing, test, quality, and supply chain.
Drive integrated schedule development and execution for cold section hardware deliverables across multiple engine builds.
Manage technical risks and opportunities, developing mitigation plans and driving risk reduction activities.
Provide regular status updates to Model Leaders and program leadership on cold section technical progress, risks, and issues.
Materials & Manufacturing Integration
Partner with materials engineering to select appropriate materials for compression system components including titanium alloys, aluminum alloys, and steel alloys.
Collaborate with manufacturing engineering and suppliers on machining strategies, fabrication processes, welding, and quality control.
Drive supplier development activities for fan blades, compressor disks, machined components, and fabricated assemblies.
Ensure cold section designs are compatible with expendable engine cost targets and high-volume production strategies.
Continuous Improvement & Standards
Champion FLIGHT DECK principles and design best practices for cold section hardware within the Small Uncrewed Engines organization.
Identify and drive continuous improvement opportunities in design methods, tools, and processes for compression system components.
Contribute to design guidelines, checklists, and standards for cold section hardware applicable to small uncrewed engine applications.
Capture and disseminate lessons learned from cold section testing, including aerodynamic performance, structural integrity, and operability.
Team Leadership & Collaboration
Provide day-to-day technical direction, mentoring, and coaching to compression system design engineers, analysts, and drafters supporting cold section hardware.
Collaborate effectively with program management, supply chain, quality, and test organizations to ensure integrated execution.
