Job Description SummaryThe Thermal System Design Engineer will report to the GE Aerospace Thermal Design & Secondary Flows Sub-Section Manager within the Engineering Sciences organization. In this role you will conduct thermal design, analysis, and test definition tasks in support of new technology introduction engine programs. You will utilize heat transfer and fluid mechanics analysis tools along with established design principles to propose thermal systems that meet program requirements. Potential applications include complex fluid delivery systems and sealing systems throughout engine.Job DescriptionRoles and Responsibilities:
Execute with guidance the analysis, design, test, and integration of fluid systems to meet business standards, established procedures, and program requirements.
Independently perform thermal assessments using finite element analysis (FEA) and internally developed flow solvers.
Collaborate with large multifunctional engineering design teams; Align personal priorities with needs of the larger team.
Resolve design issues using established procedures. Consult with supervisor and senior team members as needed for issues beyond typical experience.
Clearly communicate design study results and recommendations to technical experts and program leadership.
Prepare invention disclosures for technology that provides a competitive advantage.
Assure proper documentation of technical data consistent with engineering policies.
Qualifications/Requirements:
Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited university or college in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline with an emphasis on heat transfer and design of fluid flow systems with a minimum of 3 years of relevant technical experience.
OR
Master of Science degree from an accredited university or college in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline with an emphasis on heat transfer and design of fluid flow systems with a minimum of 2 years of relevant technical experience.
OR
PhD from an accredited university or college in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related discipline with an emphasis on heat transfer and design of fluid flow systems.
