Mechanical Design Engineer – Bearings, Sumps & Oil Systems

About the role

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer – Bearings, Sumps & Oil Systems will lead the mechanical design, integration and lifecycle development of rotating support and lubrication systems for turbofan propulsion architectures. The role focuses on bearing chambers, sump structures, oil feed/scavenge lines, sealing interfaces and related thermal and structural considerations for both military and commercial engine applications.

Key responsibilities

• Lead mechanical design of bearing compartments, sump housings, oil nozzles 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 and vibration‑induced wear.
• Design dynamic sealing systems and support oil routing strategies that meet pressure‑drop, thermal‑gradient and maintainability requirements.
• Implement Design for Manufacturability, define tolerances, interfaces and joining techniques, and support supplier qualification and tooling reviews.
• Prepare technical documentation, failure‑mode assessments and certification support for FAA/EASA compliance.

Required profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (Master’s preferred).
• 7–10 years of experience designing bearing, sump or oil‑system components in aerospace or turbomachinery environments.
• 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.
• Knowledge of tribology, oil flow dynamics and sealing technology.
• Understanding of FAA/EASA regulatory standards and aerospace quality requirements.
• Strong GD&T knowledge and technical drawing preparation.

What we offer

• Competitive, tax‑free salary.
• Family visas, annual flight tickets, medical insurance for dependents and education allowances.
• 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.
