Reports to the Hybrid Electric Systems Test Manager and is the accountable owner for the mechanical scope of test-enabling hardware (TEH). Owns requirements definition through design oversight and commissioning readiness: ensuring the right processes and analyses are completed by partners, approving mechanical design packages, leading reviews, and supporting installation/commissioning. Focus areas include brackets and mounting solutions, dynamic test rig/fixture structures, guarding and access, and thermal/lube support systems. Operates as a doer/leader: executes hands-on where appropriate, or delegates and manages delivery through internal groups and suppliers. Collaborates with hybrid mechanical/electrical component teams, test teams, dynamics/analysis, and the Test Hardware Logistics & Asset Lead (who owns procurement, delivery, and lifecycle). This role is essential towards the safe and effective execution of GE’s suite of ground and flight technology demonstrator vehicles. These demonstrator vehicles serve as foundational platforms for maturing hybrid electric and other technologies central to the realization of the aviation industry’s sustainability goals in the first half of the 21st century.
