Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Bearings, Sumps & Oil Systems

About the role

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Bearings, Sumps & Oil Systems is responsible for the mechanical design, integration, and lifecycle development of rotating support and lubrication systems within turbofan propulsion architectures for both military and commercial engines.

Key responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design of bearing compartments, sump housings, oil nozzles, scavenge features and support structures, creating 3D CAD models and 2D detailed drawings.
• Collaborate with stress and thermal analysts to evaluate fatigue, static strength, oil coking risks, vibration‑induced wear and ensure mechanical integrity under high‑temperature, oil‑laden rotating conditions.
• Design and integrate dynamic sealing systems, support oil routing strategies, and ensure component accessibility, maintainability and certification compliance.
• Implement Design for Manufacturability, define tolerances, interfaces and joining techniques, and support supplier qualification and producibility assessments.
• Prepare and release technical documentation, failure mode assessments, risk mitigation plans and FAA/EASA certification support.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (Master’s preferred).
• 7–10 years of experience in design and development of bearing, sump or oil system components in aerospace or turbomachinery.
• Full lifecycle experience from concept through test, certification and field support.

Required skills

• Proficiency in 3D CAD systems (CATIA, NX or equivalent).
• Familiarity with FEA tools for structural and thermal evaluation.
• Understanding of tribology, oil flow dynamics and sealing technology.
• Knowledge of FAA/EASA regulatory standards and aerospace quality requirements.
• Strong GD&T knowledge and technical drawing preparation.

What we offer

• Highly competitive, tax‑free salary.
• Family visas, annual flight tickets, medical insurance for you and dependents, and education allowances for children.
• Access to a dedicated learning academy and digital learning platforms for continuous skill development.
• Opportunities to work on breakthrough technologies in a multicultural, fast‑moving environment.
