Gas Turbine Lead Operability Engineer

$130k - $175k

Full-time

GE Renewable Energy Power and Aviation

Job Description Summary
Operability in jet engine engineering is a cross-functional discipline focused on ensuring a gas turbine engine operates safely, stably, and reliably across its entire intended flight envelope, spanning from sub-idle to maximum power and for various environmental conditions. It acts as an integrator between performance (efficiency), compressor aerodynamics, aircraft inlet design, engine control systems and more, to ensure that high-performance designs do not suffer from instabilities like compressor stall/surge, combustor blowout, or over-temperature conditions. This level of design and analysis guarantees that the pilot has unrestricted throttle operation to accomplish their mission.
At GE Aerospace, we believe the world works better when it flies. We are a world-leading provider of jet engines, components, and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft. Working at GE Aerospace means you are bringing your unique perspective, innovative spirit, drive, and curiosity to a collaborative and diverse team. It means that if you have ideas, we will listen. You will be able to be a part of our LEAN transformation so that you can work smarter and not harder. Here, you will do work that you will be proud of. Work that really matters.
If this sounds exciting to you and you have prior experience in Operability or related disciplines, we look forward to speaking with you.
