Pratt & Whitney (P&W) F135 Fleet Operations has a rare opportunity for a motivated, detail-oriented, self-starter with strong communication skills – both oral and written – to support the P&W Team at Eielson AFB in Fairbanks, Alaska as a SkillBridge Field Service Engineer (FSE). This role is required onsite at Eielson AFB, Fairbanks, Alaska.

Raytheon is a provider of SkillBridge Fellowship opportunities for transitioning service members to gain an in-depth understanding of the aerospace and defense business from some of the most respected leaders and engineers in the industry. SkillBridge fellows will not be eligible for any compensation during their fellowship, as they will continue to receive all military pay and benefits. Upon successful completion of this fellowship, you will be well prepared and encouraged to apply for open positions listed on our careers page.

• Expectations: Use self-initiative and judgment to learn how FSEs perform their daily duties, e.g. identify problems, conduct investigations to determine root cause, and coordinate solutions between P&W, the Joint Strike Fighter Program Office, and Lockheed Martin.
