Engineer - Emerging Technologies
Job Description Summary
Activities aimed at proving a concept to be valid or technically feasible by the application of scientific and engineering methodologies. Work in this family typically has the objective of demonstrating through test or analyses the performance and implementation potential of a conceptAccountable for the quality of own work. Subject to direct operations supervision/prescribed work instructions/systems checking. Executes within a well-defined operations framework. There is generally a step by step sequence of standard operational tasks which need to be followed to achieve an end result.
Job Description
Roles and Responsibilities
Develop additive deep domain expertise for long term
Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM) including part consolidation, additive costing & DMLM (Direct Metal Laser Melting) support structures design
Carry out structural & thermal analysis, topology optimization as well as hand-calculations to meet design objectives of reduced cost, weight and improved performance
Simulation of additive build process, use of available tools for design and manufacturing of additive components
Explore alternate additive modalities like DED, Binder Jet, Cold spray etc. to remain competitive in the market
Technology demonstration of design concepts through TRL/MRL maturation for NTI/Advanced architecture
Document the work as per established procedure and present in technical and design reviews
Should be flexible to work on different programs based on priorities
Quick evaluation of concepts through hand calculations/ engineering judgment/ preliminary design evaluation
Broadening knowledge of own technical discipline to execute policy/strategy. May include support roles with specialized technical field of knowledge; still acquiring higher level knowledge and skills.
Basic understanding of key business drivers; uses this understanding to accomplish own work. Good understanding of how work of own team integrates with other teams and contributes to the area.
May have some autonomy to make decisions within a defined framework. Resolves issues in situations that require good technical knowledge and judgment within established procedures. Consults more senior team members for issues outside of defined instructions/parameters.
A job at this level requires good interpersonal skills and may be required to lead a junior team. For customer facing roles, develops strong customer relationships and serves as the interface between customer and GE. Explains technical information to others.
Required Qualifications
B Tech/ M Tech / MS / in Mechanical/Aerospace/Production/Civil or equivalent Engineering with 1-2 years of engineering experience in additive/mechanical design and analysis of gas turbine components.

Hands on experience in modeling, meshing and simulation software like NX, ANSYS, Hypermesh, Optistruct, MATLAB
Passion for excellence in professional endeavors with unyielding integrity
Desired Characteristics
Familiarity with Gas Turbines or Aircraft Engines.
Prior experience in doing design trade studies on different design concepts
Knowledge of should-cost, weight roll-up, manufacturing & assembly process
Knowledge of additive design & build simulation software MAGICS, Netfabb, Simufact, GEONx, ANSYS Additive etc.
Strong oral and written communication skills. Ability to document, plan, market, and execute programs.
