Job Description Summary
Can you help us develop the future of flight? We're advancing flight for our customers, and we need engineers who can help us innovate. The GE Aerospace Engineering Team is looking for experienced mechanical design engineers who are ready to work on the fastest growing engine in Aviation history, GE9X. The GE9X engine is forecasted to enter service in 2025, creating a generational opportunity to be part of a team introducing a widebody aircraft and engine system to the field.
Better fuel burn. Better flight range. We've got that! Our customers are hungry for the 20% fuel burn advantage that the combined system provides, with flight range that enables flights between city pairs that simplify intercontinental travel.
Within the Lifecycle Engineering team, as the Mechanical Systems Services Durability Leader, you will be lead the MSE mechanical design team efforts around product durability and validation. At this key pre-EIS phase of the GE9X program, it is critical that the team is well prepared to identify and execute solutions for potential durability shortfalls before EIS. In this role, you will take charge to recognize and complete validation activities, own repair substantiation efforts, define the leading indicator program and partner with product support engineering (PSE) for implementation, and serve as the service focal for the module. It is with your efforts that the GE9X program will be well positioned for a predictable and reliable EIS and is well equipped to address any issues that do arise during operation.
In this role, you will have some autonomy to focus on the execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. As the services durability leader for your module, your judgement will be paramount in the success of the desired team outcomes which will require you to have the ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters with advice from your peers.
