Job Description

Job Title: Mechanical Integrity Engineer (Aeromechanics Specialist) - LibertyWorks

Working Pattern: Hybrid/Onsite in office 3 days/week

Working location: Indianapolis, IN

A new opportunity has arisen for an Aeromechanics Specialist to join LibertyWorks supporting our broad portfolio of defense programs. In this role, you'll support the evaluation of various turbomachinery subsystems, including fan, compressor, and/or turbine gas paths, by assessing fluid-structure interaction and the subsequent vibration of airfoils and other components. Evaluations will be performed both computationally and experimentally for preliminary design, engine certification, optimization, cost reductions, and failure investigations across a wide range of applications.

As a specialist in this field, you will have the opportunity to bring forward innovative analytical solutions for customers on new/fielded products to resolve important issues related to high cycle fatigue, flutter, damping and mistuning.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount.

We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere.

Rolls-Royce has been recognized as the top employer in the Engineering & Manufacturing category on the prestigious Forbes Top Employers for Engineers list for 2025. This ranking highlights our commitment to innovation, employee development, and fostering a collaborative environment where engineers can thrive.

Be part of a team that sets the industry standard and drives groundbreaking solutions.

We'll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

Rolls-Royce is an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to any protected characteristics.

What you will be doing:
  • Run aeromechanics analysis with in-house CFD to evaluate forced response, flutter, rotating stall and other aeroelastic phenomena. Evaluating mistuning and nonlinear dynamics
  • Perform basic computer programming as needed to work more efficiently. Using reduced order models to evaluate the effects of inlet distortion, mistuning, intake acoustics, and other parameters on various aeromechanics related problems
  • Test planning and post-processing to support aeromechanics testing and to validate analytical methods. Interpreting test data to identify and explain component vibration
  • Identify new product introduction requirements for aeromechanics and working with subject matter experts to establish certification strategies
  • Collaborate with the local and global aeromechanics community to develop rules, tools, methods, and people. Collaborate with aero designers, mechanical designers, stress analysts and test engineers to progress new engine designs and support in service vibration investigations
  • Communicating technical and business results via reports and presentations to senior engineers, both within and external to Rolls-Royce

Who we're looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

Basic Requirements:

  • A Bachelor's degree in Engineering with 2+ years of aeromechanical experience OR
  • A Masters degree in Engineering, with academic focus related to aeromechanics OR
  • JD/PhD, with academic focus related to aeromechanics
  • To be considered for this opportunity, you must be eligible to obtain and maintain security clearance, which requires US Citizenship.
.

Preferred:

  • Strong interest in the field of turbomachinery aeromechanics and willingness to develop new skills
  • Previous experience with computational fluid dynamics, with interest in unsteady simulations with fluid-structure interaction
  • Previous experience with collecting and analyzing aeromechanics-related data, such as from strain gages and blade tip timing/light probes/NSMS
  • Familiarity with finite elements analysis, specifically modal analysis
  • Programming skills such as Bash, Fortran, Matlab, and Python
  • Knowledge of ongoing academic research related to aeroelasticity in gas turbines

What we offer:

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location. It's a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we're all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

Relocation assistance will be provided if applicable.
