Innoveering a wholly owned subsidiary of GE Aerospace is a dynamic engineering development company with exciting projects and product development in the aerospace and defense sector. Primary focus is on developing advanced, high-speed propulsion engines to support the Department of Defense Modernization Priorities. Our customers and partners include the U.S. Government and major aerospace prime weapons systems companies. The Principal Aerospace Engineer/Chief Engieer is responsible for analysis, design, and verification of propulsion systems. They will lead a team of talented engineering professionals in the development of the most advanced technologies in the industry. The Aerospace Engineer applies industry standard and advanced computational and additive manufacturing techniques to reacting, high temperature flow fields in support of system and subsystem design, development, ground and flight testing. Design and analysis includes, but is not limited to, subsystem performance modeling such as combustion systems, hypersonic reacting flow fields, air-breathing inlet/isolator/combustor/nozzle systems, active cooling systems, air-cycle systems, fuel systems, and fluid distribution systems. Critical design and analysis outcomes are predictive performance and validation measures to include forces and moments, mixing, ignition, reaction, heat release, and heat transfer in mixed subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flow fields. Position responsibilities will also include design for manufacturing, program execution support, post-test verification, and trouble-shooting. This position requires a strong background performing structural thermal analysis as well as CAD/CAM design for additive manufacturing as well as conventional manufacturing for future high speed supersonic and hypersonic engine systems. Job Description RESPONSIBILITIES: Lead a team to analyze combusting, aerodynamic, and aerothermodynamic flow fields in air-breathing propulsion systems across multiple flow speed regimes including subsonic, supersonic, and hypersonic. Develop and implement best practices, team building, and mentoring in analytical design and assessment using current state-of-the-art analytical and design tools. Provide analytical direction and support for wind tunnel and aerodynamic test planning and test execution coordinating with multi-discipline teams. Plan, coordinate, and execute in-test and post-test data analysis to extract critical performance and operation parameters. Participate in certification / qualification testing and reporting. Prepare and deliver formal design reviews and present design data to Government and industry customers and collaborators.
