What are the responsibilities and job description for the GE9X Combustor Design Lead Engineer position at GE Aerospace?
Job Description Summary
Can you help us develop the future of flight? We’re advancing flight for our customers, and we need engineers who can help us innovate. The GE Aerospace Engineering Team is looking for experienced mechanical design engineers who are ready to work on the fastest growing engine in Aviation history, GE9X. The GE9X engine is forecasted to enter service in 2027, creating a generational opportunity to be part of a team introducing a widebody aircraft and engine system to the field.
Within the Lifecycle Engineering team, as the GE9X Combustor Lead Engineer, you work within the combustor module to work design changes to reduce cost, improve producibility and support repair development for the module. At this key pre-Entry into Service (EIS) phase of the GE9X program, you will play a critical role in preparing the team to identify cost, producibility and repair ideas, oversee projects for the module, while also leading and executing on cost and producibility out design changes to implement before EIS and beyond.
As a GE9X Combustor Module Lead Engineer, the role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an GE9X combustor module covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.
