Pratt and Whitney are entering a hiring phase. We are looking for junior and mid-level software developers. Engineering design and manufacturing experience are preferred. I can also refer for design engineering roles.
Dont work at Pratt and Whitney, their management doesn't know anything about modern software engineering, they promote from within and have no guts when it comes to actually building digital solutions. There's no management in place to grow you're individual contributer career, they dont know what quality work product is so you never learn from your mistakes. Sure you can play politics and get a comfy middle management position but you'll be out of luck trying to transfer those skills to a competitive technology company.
@aerovibes I worked in Eng before going over to the IT side. my experience in Eng was that they are highly disciplined and process-driven but have very little innovation and ability to react with agility. I worked in the auto industry prior and the experience was completely different. The auto industry knows how to give engineers autonomy to continuously improve and innovate on component design.
Yeah I came from more of the space side of the aero industry, didn’t realize how different it’d be. They clamor about embracing innovation, but it’s very evident that the people who float to the top have the attitude that “Pratt has already invented the jet engine, there’s nothing left to do.” All our work procedures are standardized in such a way that engineering feels like a lobotomy center. No room for actual innovation. Hands tied behind our backs. I could go on…
No, we can not compete with FAANG comp. We can however provide a great place for someone to build up their skills before moving to FAANG. A number of our folks have transitioned to SF tech companies after Raytheon paid for their Masters in Computer Science and AWS training.
Pratt has zero talented people with experience in real modern software development in management positions, so it's a complete mess to get anything done.
Thanks for info. I do have Python skills(also with C/C++ if helpful). Though I don't have aerospace experience but really interested in it. Just DM you
