GE Aerospace•Lynn, MA

20h•$130,000 - $248,000

About The Position

The Advanced Product Development (APD) Systems Staff Engineer will lead elements of systems design and development for the Edison Works NGP3 New Product Introduction (NPI) program, serving as an experienced technical expert in turbomachinery systems engineering. The role involves systems integration and design for the F110-F4B2 engine's turbomachinery, including disks, shafts, frames, cases, ducts, and airfoils. The engineer will collaborate across internal and external engineering disciplines and may mentor others in systems engineering, mechanical and thermal design fundamentals, test, producibility, and engine certification and qualification. This position is for an established technical and programmatic engineer who can build team capabilities while leading by doing. It impacts engineering approaches, projects, and programs, as well as the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the team, and contributes significantly to setting priorities. The role has moderate autonomy and requires strong operational judgment. The APD Section develops advanced technologies for new and derivative engine concepts, including turbomachinery systems, military inlet and exhaust systems, integrated propulsion power and thermal management systems, advanced material systems, and advanced control systems. Its work encompasses design, integration, testing, and support of technologies for future military flight.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in engineering from an accredited college or university.
At least 5 years of experience in aerospace propulsion or related mechanical systems design, integration, or management.
