Full-time

Cincinnati, OH

About the position

In this Evendale, OH-based role, you will provide comprehensive systems level support to the Large Military Engines Systems Team for developing new applications of our existing F110 engine family. This position also involves supporting GE Edison Works in the development of new advanced derivatives of our fielded engines. The unique nature of this role will provide you the opportunity to lead and work with GE's testing organization, developing an understanding of the requirements and skills needed to manage engine testing. You will work closely with the Program Systems teams and Customers to ensure consistency between the turbomachinery team and the advanced design teams. This includes ensuring that designers have the necessary inputs to complete their analyses, attending Program Tech Re meetings, and facilitating the flow of information between the Systems team and the turbomachinery design engineers. You will track turbomachinery efforts, driving design milestones for Detailed Design Reviews (DDR) and test assessments for the Turbomachinery. Additionally, you will present turbomachinery status and milestones to Systems and Customers, act as the Earned Value Management Cost Account Manager (EVM CAM) for the Turbomachinery, and drive Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) estimates and proposal input as necessary for program planning and management. You will also coordinate and lead engine testing for new engine technologies, working with instrumentation, testing, and performance organizations to prepare and run engine tests.
