A new opportunity has arisen for an Aeromechanics Specialist to join LibertyWorks, supporting our broad portfolio of defense programs. In this role, you will support the evaluation of various turbomachinery subsystems, including fan, compressor, and 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 and fielded products to resolve important issues related to high cycle fatigue, flutter, damping, and mistuning. You will collaborate with the local and global aeromechanics community to develop rules, tools, methods, and people, working alongside aero designers, mechanical designers, stress analysts, and test engineers to progress new engine designs and support in-service vibration investigations.
