Controls Engineering Technical Program Leader

Full-time

GE Renewable Energy Power and Aviation

Job Description Summary

Have you ever wondered what makes a turbofan engine so cool? Some people think it's the fan, or the high- or low-pressure turbines, or the combustor, or even the augmenter on military engines. On our team, we think it's the integrated control system logic, software and hardware system that can readily respond to pilot inputs while still providing safe, reliable, and fuel-efficient thrust to complete the mission.

In this role, you will lead technical program execution for advanced aircraft engine controls efforts supporting Military Advanced Technology and New Product Introduction (NPI) programs. Work spans early science and technology maturation through development, validation, qualification, and delivery of next-generation engine controls solutions for military applications.

You will also help drive business outcomes through FLIGHT DECK, GE Aerospace's proprietary operating model, by applying the FLIGHT DECK Fundamentals and Behaviors to improve execution and deliver results through the eyes of the customer. This includes using Standard Work, Daily & Visual Management, Operating Cadences, Action Planning, and Problem Solving to improve Safety, Quality, Delivery, and Cost performance.

If you have a passion for delivering integrated hardware and software solutions, leading cross-functional teams, and solving complex technical problems in support of advanced military propulsion applications, we encourage you to apply.
