About Pratt & Whitney Canada

Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) is a global leader in aerospace innovation, proudly headquartered in Longueuil, Quebec, since 1928. We design and manufacture next-generation aircraft engines that power the world’s largest fleet of business, general aviation, and regional aircraft and helicopters.

For nearly 100 years, our teams have been at the forefront of propulsion technology, pushing boundaries to make flight more efficient and reliable. Our engines support missions that truly matter, from transporting people and essential goods, to enabling emergency medical services, humanitarian operations, and wildfire suppression around the world.

Why join our team?

The Digital Engine Services (DES) team provides end-to-end solutions to improve aircraft reliability while reducing operating costs. Today’s flight monitoring systems are designed to automatically record critical flight parameters and provide visibility to events or exceedances. This helps the operator to make informed decisions about preventive maintenance, thereby reducing unscheduled maintenance, lowering operating costs, and increasing aircraft availability. Advanced diagnostic solutions developed within DES provide true value-added benefits that enable the operator to determine the best time to undertake maintenance on the engine and airframe.

As an Associate Director, Digital Engine Services Engineering, you will oversee technical reviews and provide engineering guidance for design, development and certification of digital connected products. You will lead engineering discipline governance in areas of airborne hardware and software engineering, ground systems software, and engine performance and operability data analysis to support delivery of engine health management services for P&WC’s diverse engine model portfolio.

The position is based at our Longueuil or Mississauga location, from Monday to Friday, with flexible hours and exclusively on-site.
