Job Description
Company Overview
Working at GE Aerospace means you are bringing your unique perspective innovative spirit drive and curiosity to a collaborative and diverse team working to advance aerospace for future generations. If you have ideas we will listen. Join us and see your ideas take flight!
Site Overview
Established in 2000 the John F. Welch Technology Center (JFWTC) in Bengaluru is GE Aerospaces multidisciplinary research and engineering center. Pushing the boundaries of innovation every day engineers and scientists at JFWTC have contributed to hundreds of aviation patents pioneering breakthroughs in engine technologies advanced materials and additive manufacturing.
Role Overview:
- Own end-to-end design & analysis of lube pressurization and vent (LPV) component design (for example: sumps scavenge/supply features vent lines seal interfaces) from concept through detailed design and engineering validation.
- Interpret schematics perform guided pressure-drop/thermal calculations and run existing models with supervision
- Model and assess oil and air system performance (flows pressures scavenge capability vent capacity etc) across the operating envelope
- Flow down engine/system requirements into component requirements; define key characteristics (flow pressure temperature sealing life/durability)
- Perform/coordinate analyses supporting LPV design (oil/air flows pressure losses vent capacity thermal impacts structural integrity tolerance stack-up reliability/DFMEA)
- Support component and system tests (rig engine acceptance). Define instrumentation needs review data troubleshoot anomalies and close requirements
- Partner with design bearings/seals controls gearbox thermal durability manufacturing and service teams to ensure solutions are implementable and verifiable.
- Identify opportunities to improve robustness of LPV designs and processes; capture lessons learned and standard work
- Exercise engineering judgment to propose solutions beyond standard parameters with mentorship leveraging technical skills and analytical thinking
- Operate as an individual contributor with strong interpersonal skills and provide informal mentorship to newer team members
