Job Description Summary
As Principal Architect you will lead the design and deployment of a next-generation Digital Engineering Ecosystem that integrates hybrid compute environments modern hosting strategies and a hub and spoke model that enables collaborative frameworks and synchronized tools.This role focuses on unifying on-premises HPC clusters engineering workstations and cloud-native (AWS) resources into a scalable secure and high-performance infrastructure. You will also drive an enterprise connected tools strategy to enable immersive real-time collaboration across global engineering teams for model-based systems engineering (MBSE) multi-physics simulation and digital twin development.
Job Description
Core Responsibilities:
Hybrid Compute & Hosting Strategy
- Architect and deliver hybrid compute solutions spanning HPC clusters high-end engineering workstations and AWS (EC2 S3) for dynamic scaling of engineering workloads.
- Define and implement hosting architectures for digital engineering tools and environments balancing performance cost and accessibility.
- Develop orchestration strategies leveraging tools like Kubernetes and containerization technologies (Docker) for distributed simulation pipelines.
- Optimize data movement workload scheduling and compute resource allocation across hybrid environments and global sites.
Collaborative Digital Engineering
- Drive GE Aerospaces enterprise hub-and-spoke strategy mirroring OpenUSD framework developing an omniverse to build real-time immersive digital collaboration spaces for design and simulation.
- Enable integration of diverse engineering data (CAD/CAE MBSE simulation results) into unified scenes for cross-domain visualization and decision-making.
Database Architecture for Tracking & Searchability
- Design and implement scalable database architectures (relational and NoSQL) to track engineering models simulation results and metadata across the digital ecosystem.
- Enable advanced searchability of engineering artifacts using indexing tagging and semantic search technologies.
- Integrate databases with PLM systems simulation environments and collaborative platforms to support versioning traceability and compliance.
- Leverage graph databases (e.g. Neo4j) and knowledge graphs for complex relationship mapping across multi-disciplinary datasets.
Systems Architecture & Toolchain Integration
- Design a cohesive architecture that integrates CAD/CAE platforms (CATIA NX ANSYS) MBSE frameworks (Cameo) and PLM systems (Teamcenter).
- Develop and oversee development of APIs and middleware to ensure interoperability across tools platforms and compute environments.
- Implement secure version-controlled workflows for distributed engineering teams.
Security & Compliance
- Establish robust cybersecurity protocols for data transfer between HPC workstations and AWS ensuring compliance with ITAR export controls and aerospace standards (NIST 800-171 CMMC).
Digital Twin Enablement & AI Integration
- Integrate AI/ML pipelines for design space exploration anomaly detection and performance optimization.
Technical Leadership
- Provide cross-disciplinary technical guidance to engineering IT and design tools teams for deploying and operating hybrid compute environments at scale.
- Collaborate with AWS architects HPC administrators and GE Aerospace leadership to align compute and hosting architecture with future flight programs.
Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in Aerospace Engineering Computer Science Systems Engineering or related field.
- Minimum of 5 years experience in hosting networking or high-complexity digital environments.
- Proven track record architecting and deploying hybrid compute infrastructures integrating HPC cloud and engineering workstations.
- Deep understanding of MBSE multi-disciplinary optimization (MDO) and high-fidelity simulation workflows.
Technical Expertise:
- Proficiency with HPC schedulers (SLURM PBS LSF) and AWS services (EC2 S3 EKS AWS Batch).
- Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes Docker Singularity) and DevOps practices (CI/CD GitOps).
- Strong programming skills (Python C) for API/middleware development.
- Knowledge of OpenUSD NVIDIA Omniverse and standards like SysML FMI/FMU.
- Knowledge of regulatory frameworks and aerospace cybersecurity standards (NIST 800-171 CMMC).
Preferred Qualifications and Experience:
- 15 years in hosting networking or high-complexity digital environments.
- Experience designing hybrid HPC/cloud architectures for design and simulation workloads.
- Familiarity with AI/ML frameworks (TensorFlow PyTorch) integrated into engineering pipelines.
- Familiarity with PLM systems (Teamcenter).
What This Role Enables:
This is a technical leadership role at the nexus of physics-based engineering distributed compute systems and immersive digital ecosystems. You will set the strategic direction for a hybrid compute-enabled connected engineering platform that enables GE Aerospace engineers to deliver high-fidelity simulations accelerate certification timelines and innovate faster for the future of flight.
