A compound engine assembly with an inlet duct, a compressor, an engine core including at least one internal combustion engine, and a turbine section including a turbine shaft configured to compound power with the engine shaft. The turbine section may include a first stage turbine and a second stage turbine. The turbine shaft and the engine shaft are parallel to each other. The turbine shaft, the engine shaft and at least part of the inlet duct are all radially offset from one another. A method of driving a rotatable load of an aircraft is also discussed.
