nGE Aerospace is an industry leader in design and manufacturing of gas turbine engines for aviation and land-based applications, with deep commitment to inventing the future of flight, safety, and technology. The company is pioneering significant advances in next generation engine technologies through its RISE program that aims to significantly reduce fuel burn and emissions, and create sustainable aviation technology. GE Aerospace Bangalore is looking for young and bright engineers in the early to mid-career phase in the field of combustion, aero-thermal or relevant propulsion sciences. This position is for combustor aero-design engineer in Advanced Technologies organization, and suitable candidate will get opportunity to lead combustion aero-design work for next generation engines, sustaining current engines fleet, and next generation aero-derivative engines for Land & Marine application.
- nIndependently execute on aero design of aviation and aero-derivative gas turbine combustors, supporting overall engine development program, working in a diverse & dynamic global environment. Seamlessly communicate with stakeholders, provide insights, and propose innovative solutions to technical challenges, strategize and constantly guide less experienced team members.
- nPerform hi-fidelity CFD analysis to meet combustor aero performance requirements on emissions, operability, and durability. Contribute to development and improvisation of design methodologies with an intent to introduce new product design for fielded products and aero-derivative engines.
- nIn this role you will be working with a cross-functional team to understand performance shortfalls, evaluate and propose design solutions to improve performance, execute on cleaner & sustainable technologies and provide engineering solutions to meet business needs.
nRoles and Responsibilities
- nPerform 2D/3D CFD (RANS & LES) modelling of aviation and aero-derivative combustors involving airflow, fuel injection and reacting flow, combustion dynamics and emissions modelling, etc, to evaluate/propose new designs and understand impact on CTQs like fuel air mixing, emissions, combustion dynamics, durability, etc in order to support new product introduction, technology maturation, or support fielded products.
- nLead & demonstrate engineering problem solving and decision making through active program execution, planning, communication with global stakeholders and cross-functional teams. Release down-selected designs or solution strategies for rig and engine testing, by going through proper review processes.
- nWork with team members of varied experience: provide guidance to less experienced team members, and take help from more experienced members as required.
- nDeveloping in-depth knowledge of a technical discipline. Use prior experience and acquired technical expertise to execute policy/strategy. Strive for continuous improvement of design processes and tools.
- nUse engineering judgment and show ability to propose solutions outside of set parameters but with guidance. Use prior experience and on-the-job training to solve straightforward tasks. Demonstrate technical skills and analytic thinking required to solve problems. May use multiple internal sources outside of own team to arrive at decisions.
