Bearings, Sumps, Oil Systems Mechanical Design Engineer

• Lead mechanical design of bearing compartments, sump housings, oil nozzles, scavenge features, and support structures for rotating shafts and modules.
• Develop and manage 3D CAD models and 2D detailed drawings of:

• Oil feed and scavenge systems (tubes, fittings, manifolds)
• Bearing supports and retention systems

• Collaborate with stress and thermal analysts to evaluate:

• Fatigue and static strength of sump and bearing support structures
• Oil coking, sludge, and heat rejection risks in bearing cavities

• Design and integrate dynamic sealing systems (labyrinth, brush, carbon face seals) between sump chambers and core flow paths.

• Implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) across forged, cast, and machined housings and plumbing assemblies.
• Define tolerances, interfaces, and joining techniques for complex assemblies.

• Prepare and release comprehensive technical documentation:

• Design reports, stack-ups, and detailed drawings
• FAA/EASA certification support documentation and internal/external technical reviews

• Work closely with:

• Lubrication systems and thermal management engineers for flow analysis and oil condition management
• Engine systems and module integration teams for bearing loading, alignment, and interface design

• Explore new technologies such as:

• Additively manufactured oil channels and heat exchangers
• Self-pressurizing sump designs or active oil routing mechanisms

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering required
• Master's degree preferred, particularly with a focus in rotating machinery, thermal systems, or tribology
• 5-15 years of experience in the design and development of bearing, sump, or oil system components in aerospace or turbomachinery environments
