Advanced Product Development Systems Staff Engineer – Hardware Cost and Weight Focal

Job Description Summary The Advanced Product Development (APD) Systems Staff Engineer will lead elements of the systems design and development for an Edison Works New Product Introduction (NPI) program NGP3 as an experienced technical expert in management of the F110-F4B2 Hardware Cost and Weight. This is the systems integration of all hardware the propulsion system. This role supports the overall engine system and design, and collaboration with the other Systems Engineering leaders, and Integrated Product Team (IPT) Leaders.

Additional responsibilities may include mentoring in the areas of systems engineering, mechanical and/or thermal design fundamentals, test, producibility, and engine certification/qualification. This is a role for someone with established technical and programmatic engineering skills who not only understands how to increase their impact by building the capabilities of the team but can also “lead by doing.” This position includes the opportunity to integrate with various internal & external engineering disciplines.

This position will impact engineering approaches, projects, and programs in the functional area or affected business organization. As well as impacts quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of the team, and has significant input into priorities. The role has moderate autonomy, requiring high levels of operational judgment. The APD Section is inventing the future of flight and advancing propulsion capability for the next generation of military applications.

APD’s focus is the design, integration, testing, and support of advanced technologies for new and derivative engine concepts. Technology areas include turbo machinery systems, military inlet & exhaust systems, integrated propulsion power & thermal management systems, advanced material systems, advanced control systems, and other breakthrough component and system technologies to support the future of military flight.

• Serve as the cost and weight focal for F110-F4B2 hardware on the NGP3 New Product Introduction (NPI) program, owning engine-level cost and weight against customer requirements.
• Predict, track, and report weight and cost for every part number, accounting for each part's design maturity.
• Lead Design IPT Leaders and teams to execute cost and weight reduction efforts to close overages against customer commitments.
• Work with all Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to ensure the NPI program understands the engine’s accurate cost and weight.
• Own establishing and maintaining appropriate audit margin factors, maturity ratings, and the quality of part-level cost and weight data.
• Support the engine cost and weight management of ground test, flight test, and future production configuration engines.
• Manage cost and weight data in Excel and Teamcenter, including pulling hardware characteristics like model volumes, and material densities, material names, and direct weight and cost values.
• Support the larger Systems Engineering team in integrating cost and weight management in to our Digital Engineering Ecosystem (DEE).
• Apply and maintain compliance with GE Aerospace cost and weight management policies and procedures.
• Present status, progress, and reduction plans to senior program, business, and customer leadership.
• Work with other Systems Engineering leaders and IPT Leaders, and mentor others in systems engineering and design fundamentals.

• Bachelor’s or advanced degree in engineering from an accredited college or university
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience in aerospace propulsion or related mechanical systems design, integration, or management.
• This role requires the successful candidate to maintain a US Government Security Clearance; prerequisite for a security clearance…
