I think I misremembered some details now. I'm not certain that their PhDs have "publish or perish", but they definitely have poor job security. The guy I know interviewed at the company's gas turbine division, not the jet engine division. And I think the company representatives were from the gas turbine division as well. The two are obviously related technologies and I would not be surprised if there was overlap between the divisions. Overall I still don't have reason to believe there's a shortage of qualifies engineers in this general area.
