Job Description Summary

This role is within the Commercial Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) Mechanical Design team in GE Aerospace’s Engineering Division. The team is responsible for the design and development of CMC components within the High-Pressure-Turbine (HPT) and Combustor Module of the GE9X and LEAP Commercial Turbofan engines.

As the Engineer, you will play a role in supporting and leading projects focused on durability and producibility for our CMC combustor hardware. You will be responsible as an individual contributor to drive for design and manufacturing changes to meet program requirements, collaborating with materials engineering, manufacturing, and analysis teams. You will need to implement lessons learned from other programs and new fleet findings into the next iteration of the component design. Other responsibilities for this role will include supporting component delivery efforts, assisting in test & fielded engine reviews, and understanding change impacts to component requirements.

In this position, you will work directly with your team lead with some expectation of autonomy. You will be required to take ownership of the quality of your own work, and there is latitude to rearrange the sequence to complete task/duties based on changing work situations. While executing tasks, you will need to assess your capabilities and seek guidance from your supervisor and technical mentors when necessary.

This role presents an exciting opportunity to make significant impact on the design and innovation of GE Aerospace’s products.

This is an early career role.
