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. #aviation #Job Openings
Is remote an option or is relocation required?
Remote is an option. My team is 75% full remote
What skills needed?Is clearance/citizenship required? I have Green Card but not US citizen yet
A green card is required. We love folks with aerospace design experience as well as python skills.
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
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.
Management across the whole company is abysmal tbh. I joined somewhat recently and feel like I got duped. Trying to leave ASAP before my skills seriously start to atrophy. I’m on the mechanical side, not software, fwiw.
@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.
I was with RTX in their IT department. Pratt is actually RTX by the way. I should look to see if there’s openings for me there.
It is old thread but is there still opening for non-US citizen or DoD clearance required?
Could you compete with tech for talent though?
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.
