Hypersonic Propulsion Design Engineer

GE Aerospace•Rockledge, FL

1d•$114,000 - $152,000•Onsite

About The Position

Collaboration with multidisciplinary set of engineers to design and analyze mechanical components and systems for experimental Hypersonic, aero-thermal test rigs. To accomplish the given tasks, you must be proficient in developing mechanical designs using CAD and applying engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of the designed components and subsystems. You should have an excellent understanding of the engineering process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions. Communication and documentation are critical as you will often need to prepare slides (or other documents) to present to the team, whether it is to describe detailed designs or to discuss project progress.

Requirements

Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from an accredited college or university
Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks
Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve problems including stress analysis
Skilled in mechanical design using 3D CAD Siemens NX or equivalent
Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint
US citizen
