We’re more than aviation experts, we’re pioneers. We challenge what’s possible. From breaking the sound barrier to advanced tiltrotor systems. Today, Bell is shaping the future of aviation through specialized engineering. And we want you.
We are developing the future of Army Aviation with the Bell Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA), part of the US Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) modernization effort. We are also developing the Bell 525 Relentless, and Bell's High-Speed Vertical Take-Off and Landing (HSVTOL) program, a next generation stop-fold aircraft.
This position is onsite in Fort Worth, TX.
Propulsion Analysis, MV-75
Bell is seeking a team-oriented Propulsion Systems Technical Lead to join Bell’s MV-75, FLRAA (Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft) team. The individual will support the design, development, qualification, and flight test of the FLRAA aircraft. You’ll work with a diverse team of engineers designing and analyzing propulsion systems, including gas turbine engines, FADECs, inlets and exhausts.
What you’ll be doing as a Propulsion Systems Technical Lead
Mentor propulsion systems engineers through tasking and reviews to create an efficient and effective team environment
Develop propulsion systems requirements, architectures, and interfaces
Coordinate across internal IPTs and with propulsion system suppliers in the development, integration and test of propulsion system components
Develop overall propulsion system and software integration including activities such as system specifications, interface management, system safety assessment, validation and verification testing in systems integration labs, aircraft flight test, and aircraft/system qualification and certification.
Support all phases of development from initial proposal development through successful design, qualification, integration testing, flight test, and production.
Provide status on system activities and the impact they have on other IPTs
Skills You Bring to this Role:
Specific experience with some or all of the following:
1-D engine cycle analysis using NPSS
1-D and 3-D CFD analysis of aircraft bays (thermal and internal aero)
Qualification to standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-883, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, RTCA DO-178, RTCA DO-160 and/or RTCA DO-254
Data protocols such as MIL-STD-1553, ARIN 429, AFDX and/or TSN
Creation of subsystem and component specifications, interface control documents, and test plans/procedures
Creation of system architecture and system schematics
Ability to take ambiguous direction and create actionable steps for Propulsion System team members
Ability to prioritize work, strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a team player mindset.
Excellent communicator, must be able to build and maintain effective relationships with customers, internal and external suppliers, and brief leaders/customers.
Familiarity with System Safety Assessments and/or Failure Hazard Analysis
Familiarity with the development of requirements to drive testing at the component, subsystem, systems integration lab, and/or flight test environments
