• Manage hardware through the design process, from initial concept through design, development, and validation
• Ensure the hardware and system meet the engine and aircraft needs by leveraging a cross-functional team of design engineering, quality engineering, supply chain, and program leadership
• Steer supplier efforts, including both technical design and programmatic aspects
• Actively participate in GE-internal and supplier design reviews
• Coordinate with senior technical leadership on critical component design parameters
• Complete physics-based technical analyses and evaluations of proposed designs by adhering to business standards and design guidelines
• Communicate and present analyses and decisions to technical and program leadership
• Utilize lean tools to efficiently and effectively execute on concurrent projects

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Aeronautical Engineering from an accredited university or college
