Senior Scientist - Autonomous Systems - Aerospace Research

At GE Aerospace Research, our researchers work on the advancement of new Autonomous Systems technology to solve industrial problems for the Future of Flight. This work covers both fundamental and applied exploration, ultimately looking to provide a real path forward for sustainable air travel for the world, to advance the frontiers of beyond-atmosphere travel, and to continue to support the country’s needs in national security. As a Senior Scientist, you will design, experiment, analyze, improve, and apply new Autonomous Systems technology. The focus of this technology is two-fold: 1) the automation of independent action for manufacturing systems (including robots operating independently and in coordination with human workers), and 2) the development of increasingly autonomous sensing, navigation, and mission planning for uncrewed and reduced-crew vehicles and their subsystems. Essential Responsibilities: Work with and lead teams of researchers on new and continuing projects Develop hardware/software solutions that improve autonomy capabilities for manufacturing and/or vehicle solutions Implement and analyze prototypes and solutions for real-world problems Employ software libraries, tools, and practices to implement efficient, scalable, and reusable solutions Collaborate with GE Aerospace’s other Autonomous Systems experts to define and pursue strategic advancement of new technologies Publish novel findings in scientific workshops, conferences, and journals Create intellectual property by writing invention disclosures and filing patents Develop in technical and leadership skills in preparation for future work as a Principal Scientist or part of Technical Management Qualifications/Requirements: MS + 7 years experience or PhD + 5 years experience in Robotics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related fields Minimum of 4 years of commercial or industrial experience Demonstrated ability to write Python code for quick demonstration of ideas as well as robust, efficient, scaled-up software systems Candidate must be willing to travel a minimum of 2 weeks per year U.S. citizenship is required Willing to relocate to work out of an office located in Niskayuna, NY Ideal Candidate Characteristics: Ph.D. focusing on new advancements in Robotics, Mechatronics, and/or Autonomous Systems Deep expertise in one or more of: Vehicle Autonomy, Mission Autonomy, High-Mix Robot Autonomy, Human-Machine Teaming, Human-Robot Interaction Design Demonstrated ability to write C/C++ code for edge system use Experience in writing grant proposals and participating in the execution of grant-supported research Ability to obtain Secret (or higher) US Government clearance GE Aerospace offers a great work environment, professional development, challenging careers, and competitive compensation.
