About the position

The Hot Structures Design Engineer at GE Aerospace will play a crucial role in the design, producibility, and module integration of hot structures hardware, specifically focusing on components such as the turbine rear frame (TRF) and aft center body within the low pressure turbine (LPT) product lines, including the F110 Series and Advanced Programs. This position reports directly to the Large Military Engineering Low Pressure Turbine Leader and is integral to ensuring the performance and reliability of military aircraft components. In this role, the engineer will be responsible for the design and analysis of TRF LPT structure components, ensuring that they meet both static and dynamic performance requirements. This involves applying engineering principles, physics, and material science to develop solutions that enhance the functionality and safety of the hardware. The engineer will also engage with military customers to spearhead new technology programs aimed at optimizing legacy products, thereby contributing to the advancement of aerospace technology. Collaboration is key in this position, as the engineer will work horizontally across multidisciplinary teams, gaining insights and knowledge from mentors in the Chief Engineer's Office. This role requires a deep understanding of the structures technical discipline and the ability to integrate work with other teams to achieve common goals. The engineer will also interface with internal and external customers, including the United States Airforce and Navy, to ensure that design efforts align with customer needs and expectations. Additionally, the engineer will lead safety and quality initiatives related to the hardware they own, support manufacturing activities to facilitate timely engine delivery, and collaborate with various departments such as Project Management, Value Chain Planning, and Supply Chain to identify and execute cost-saving opportunities. The position demands a balance of technical expertise and interpersonal skills, as the engineer may provide informal guidance to new team members and contribute to the development of talent within the organization.
