GE Aerospace Job Description Summary
The Staff Engineer's primary aim will be to mature novel inspection methods for additive ceramics and next generation high‑pressure turbine (HPT) airfoils. Manufacturing, NDE, and GD&T expertise will be necessary to lead cross‑product and process maturation initiatives. The role will design and implement metrology programs from 3D scanning, CT, and CMM data, and work with an interdisciplinary team to incorporate results into process development and industrialization efforts. Essential Responsibilities
Drive TRL (Technology Readiness Level) risk burndown and support strategic roadmapping for high‑pressure turbine (HPT) airfoil materials and manufacturing. Develop and implement inspection and measurement techniques for state‑of‑the‑art HPT airfoil materials, focusing on quality and precision. Lead process development from conception to production, advancing TRL/MRL (Manufacturing Readiness Level) maturation for HPT airfoil additive, casting, and inspection methods. Build, lead, and execute initiatives to expand airfoil inspection methods and capabilities, leveraging innovative technologies. Collaborate within an interdisciplinary team to solve multi‑dimensional and multi‑disciplinary challenges. Proactively lead cross‑functional efforts with key stakeholders, including design, manufacturing, sourcing, quality, and business leaders, to address complex material, process, and inspection systems. Support talent development to ensure the longevity of business and technical initiatives. Lead functional teams or projects to find creative solutions to complex material, manufacturing, and design challenges. Champion safety, structured problem‑solving initiatives, and establish a culture of LEAN principles through FLIGHT DECK. Leverage data for tactical and strategic decision‑making to drive operational efficiency and product management excellence. Conduct producibility evaluations, including reviews and the establishment of best practices for HPT airfoil manufacturing. Generate and document lessons learned and new standards in established archival systems. Communicate significant developments, lessons, and solutions to the broader team, including leadership. Develop best practices, routines, and innovative solutions to improve technology and processes related to additive non‑destructive inspection technologies. Ability to work in‑person more than 75% of the time, with the flexibility to travel between local sites in the Cincinnati and Dayton area. Experience with CMM, ALICONA, or equivalent machine programming. Proficiency in Polyworks, GOM, or equivalent software tools. Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s Degree from an Engineering/Science degree accredited college or university. Minimum of 5 years (Metrology/NDE) experience. Desired Characteristics
Experience in high‑pressure turbine (HPT) airfoil manufacturing and inspection techniques, with expertise in non‑destructive evaluation (NDE) and metrology methods. Proficiency in GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing) to meet design and manufacturing requirements for part quality. Hands‑on experience working in development labs, manufacturing pilot lines, or full‑rate production environments. Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage frequently across all levels of the organization. Commitment to fostering a culture of respect for all individuals in all positions. Ability to read and interpret technical drawings with precision. Problem‑solving skills, demonstrated through the ability to analyze and resolve complex challenges. Leadership experience, with a proven ability to lead programs and projects effectively. Established project management skills, including planning, execution, and delivery. Experience with VCT or large STL files to measure fine features. Knowledge of MSA (Measurement System Analysis), GR&R (Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility), and statistical capability studies. Expertise in defining features and applying GD&T to complex geometries, ensuring alignment with design intent, producibility, and inspection ability. Benefits
