Lead Engineer in Engine Dynamics

at  GE Aviation

JOBBESCHREIBUNG ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

System Design Technologies (SDT) team operates within Advanced Technologies Operations (ATO), a group that matures the next generation of technologies and propulsion systems, which will enable the future of flights and dealing with advanced military and innovative engine architectures.
The Engine Dynamics Lead Engineer has the fundamental task to investigate how multiple components assembled together, to build a complex system, might interact and participate to the definition of the overall system vibratory behavior and how such a system reacts to external and internal excitations.

In this role you will utilize your engineering experience to solve problems, execute and develop engineering methodologies and tools, to grow technologies and affect business goals in the broad context of the system dynamics, which includes rotor-dynamics, torsional dynamics, frequency response, rotor-stability, prognostic and health monitoring (PHM), with the following purposes:

• Support and execute system dynamics analyses as needed by New Product Introduction (NPI) from its initial concept through the full certification process.
• Contribute to advance the dynamics technology roadmap through New Technologies Introduction (NTI) programs execution.
• Evaluate possible new design solutions via trade studies on legacy models. Suggest and provide design solutions for the challenges related to system dynamics.
• Implement the guidelines/inputs received in order to improve/upgrade design processes from the Dynamic analysis perspective.
• Support experimental test diagnostic and field investigations
• According with the field lesson learnt provide feedback to improve/align current Design Practices and methods.

This role will provide the opportunity to grow the system view and the capability to understand and solve complex integration exercises, as well as the opportunity to develop a specific knowledge of a widely spread area of influence the discipline of system dynamics covers.

QUALIFICATIONS/REQUIREMENTS

• Master’s Degree in Mechanical/Aeronautical Engineering from an accredited university.
• Knowledge of key aeronautical engines layout, architecture and mechanical systems arrangements.
• Experience in engineering positions with in-depth expertise on structure dynamics simulation techniques and rotor-dynamics fundamentals.
• The ability to produce clear, concise reports and other documentation, of appropriate quality.
• Clear thinking, diligent approach, target oriented.
• Fluency in English language, both written and oral.
• Work VISA, according to local regulation, is required

ESSENTIAL RESPONSIBILITIES

• Provide and strengthen technical knowledge in the broad context of the engine dynamics.
• Execute, in collaboration with the team, the analysis, design, test, or integration activities required to meet business standards and program / product requirements.
• Perform required assessment and present relevant technical data to reviewers as well as to internal and external customers.
• Assure proper documentation of technical data is generated for the assigned projects and/or tasks consistently with engineering policies and procedures.
• Support the definition and execution of strategic technology development roadmap to support future product and grow the discipline improving tools and methods.
• Prepare invention disclosures to protect the technology that provides a competitive advantage to the business.
• Develop and implement training modules for new tool introduction and guide younger engineers in the execution of the activities.
• Remain current in the state of the art within own technical specialty for new products introduction activity, performance improvements, cost reductions and problem resolutions.
