Located in Niskayuna, New York, central to the New York Capital District, GE Aerospace Research builds on GE’s 125+ years of industrial research heritage, tackling the most challenging engineering problems through multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative technologies. Together, we create and sustain differentiated solutions to maintain competitive advantages for GE Aerospace and our customers. GE Aerospace will continue to play a vital role in supporting the industry through a historic aviation recovery while shaping the future of flight. We invent the future of flight, lift people up and bring them home safely. Our commitment to lead the industry, to keep safe the flying public and the armed forces, and to lift up one another and our communities, remains our north star. Our purpose is what ties us to one another and gives meaning to our work. The Lead Design Engineer – Mechanical Components & Systems will play a key role in maturing the mechanical solutions that enable the future of flight: sustainable, high speed, and next generation propulsion and aircraft systems! As a member of a multi-disciplinary team including researchers, engineers, and technicians, you will execute the design of novel test solutions to push the state of the art of turbomachinery, bearings, gear systems, rotor/stator seals, and rotor dynamics, requiring use system-level thinking to find the shortest path between idea and test. A successful applicant will have previous hands-on experience in mechanical design of rotating equipment, design for manufacturing, assembly, and test execution.
