Lead Engineer – Inspection Testing
About The Position
The Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Lead Engineer will be responsible for developing computed tomography (CT) inspection solutions for new material systems and new product development in additive manufacturing, turbine airfoils, and composites. This role involves working with and sometimes leading cross-functional teams with innovative technologies to develop and validate new materials and components using nondestructive evaluation methods. The Lead Engineer will lead the throughput and solution creation process for microCT systems in the lab. As these designs mature for use in products, the engineer will have the opportunity to transition the inspection methods to a production environment. GE Aerospace invents the future of flight, providing jet engines, components, and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft, and fosters a culture of respect, professional development, and teamwork.
