About this Position The Emerging Technologies (ET) team, comprised of Small Uncrewed Engines (SUE), Hypersonics and AI innovations for Defense and Systems is seeking a skilled CDN Module Leader to join our fast-paced and high energy team. The CDN Module leader owns the combustor module architecture and design for limited-life propulsion engines, driving the module from conceptual design through qualification. This role leads cross-site teams (Florida and Evendale) to deliver safe, high-quality, on-time, and cost-effective combustor designs that meet mission profiles and program objectives. Job Description Key Responsibilities Module Ownership (Concept to Qualification) : Lead combustor architecture, requirements flow-down, design trades, and verification plans from concept, preliminary and detailed design, to rig/engine qualification. Combustor Design & Analysis : Define liner/dome/swirler geometry; fuel nozzle integration; dilution and cooling schemes; flame stability; emissions; pattern factor; pressure loss; and life-limited feature design. Thermal & Structural Integrity : Own thermal management (film cooling, convective cooling, TBC application), stress and life assessments (LCF/HCF/thermo-mechanical), creep/oxidation margins, and limited-life retirement rules. Fuel & Controls Integration : Coordinate with fuel system and controls teams on nozzle selection, flow splits, atomization, ignition, light-off, stability maps, and transient operability. Manufacturability & Materials : Drive DFM for combustor components (liners, domes, diffusers, mounts); material selection (superalloys, coatings/TBCs); joining methods (weld/braze); and supplier readiness. Testing & Qualification : Plan and oversee rig tests (sector/full-annular) and engine tests; define instrumentation; analyze data; correlate models; and compile qualification evidence with clear acceptance criteria. Integration & V&V : Lead DFMEA/FMECA, requirements traceability, hazard analysis, and RCCA; ensure robust interfaces with compressor, turbine, fuel system, and mechanical mounts. Program Execution : Build and manage schedules, risks, and design gates; coordinate resources across Florida and Evendale; manage suppliers; support proposals and design-to-cost trades for limited-life missions. Leadership & Mentoring : Provide day-to-day technical leadership, set clear work statements, review designs/analyses, mentor early-career engineers, and foster continuous improvement by following FLIGHT DECK standards. Compliance & Documentation : Ensure configuration control, drawing/spec quality, and adherence to applicable standards, export control, and safety requirements. Required Qualifications Education/Experience : BS in Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering (MS preferred). Minimum of 5 years' experience in combustor design for gas turbines or small propulsion systems; track record from concept through qualification. Technical Depth : Expertise in combustor aerothermal design, emissions, flame stability, film cooling, structural/thermal life analyses, and limited-life strategies. Leadership & Communication : Strong cross-functional leadership with multi-site teams (Florida and Evendale), supplier engagement, and clear communication of decisions, risks, and trade-offs. Legal authorization to work in the U.S . is required.  We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening. Desired Characteristics: Tools : Proficiency with CAD/PLM, aerothermal/CFD tools, FEA for thermo-mechanical analysis, requirements management, and test data analysis 10 years of module ownership of combustors Success Metrics (SQDC) Safety : Robust hazard analyses; no safety escapes; validated ignition/stability margins and thermal protections. Quality : First-time-right design reviews; correlation of rig/engine test data to predictions; fully met qualification criteria. Delivery : On-time passage through design gates; rig/engine test readiness and execution as scheduled. Cost : Achieve design-to-cost targets via limited-life optimization, efficient cooling strategies, and supplier/process choices. Role Interfaces Internal : Compressor/turbine teams, fuel & controls, thermal/fluids, stress/structures, manufacturing, test & instrumentation, reliability. External : Fuel nozzle and combustor component suppliers; customers/airframers for mission and interface alignment. Why Join Us Impactful ownership : Lead a core propulsion module from concept to qualification on agile, limited-life engine programs. Cross-site leadership : Collaborate across Florida and Evendale, gaining broad exposure and influence.
