San Francisco, California, United States GE Aviation Full time
Job Overview This position is part of the Commercial Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC) Mechanical Design team within GE Aviation's Engineering Division. The team is tasked with the design and development of CMC components for the High-Pressure-Turbine (HPT) and Combustor Module of advanced Commercial Turbofan engines.

As the Advanced Lead Engineer, you will be instrumental in leading and supporting initiatives aimed at enhancing durability and fleet support for CMC HPT components. Your role will involve driving design and manufacturing modifications to align with program specifications, while collaborating with cross-functional teams, including mechanical design, materials engineering, data science, manufacturing, quality assurance, and program management. You will integrate lessons learned from previous programs and new fleet insights into subsequent iterations of component design. Additional responsibilities may include supporting component delivery efforts, assisting with engine test assemblies, and enhancing component manufacturability through design and process improvements.

Your technical expertise will be vital in refining existing processes and designs, while also providing mentorship to junior engineers in both engineering and manufacturing disciplines. This role offers a significant degree of autonomy, requiring you to take ownership of your work quality and contribute to setting your priorities. While executing your tasks, you will need to evaluate your capabilities and seek guidance from your supervisor and technical mentors as needed.

This position presents an exciting opportunity to make a substantial impact on the design and innovation of GE Aviation's products. Key Responsibilities
