Aeromechanics Lead Engineer - Mechanical Component

Aeromechanics Lead Engineer - Mechanical Component

Join GE Aerospace in advancing aviation technologies for today and tomorrow. This role contributes to production of advanced jet engines, components, and integrated systems that power commercial and military aircraft.

The Aeromechanics Engineer will perform aeromechanics analysis, design optimization, test & validation, and support FAA Certification of fan, compressor, and turbine airfoils.

• Perform aeromechanical assessments in support of new engine design including modal analyses for frequency placement, forced response analysis and flutter assessments using finite element models (FEM) and/or unsteady CFD analysis.
• Prepare for rig and engine tests. Define airfoil instrumentation such as strain gauges and light probes. Process component test data from ping test, laser vibrometry and bench fatigue. Generate on‑test vibration monitoring documentation and prepare test plans.
• Execute rig and engine tests safely across all test sites globally. Monitor airfoil vibrations real‑time and modify test plans as needed.
• Process dynamic strain gauge and light probe data using dynamic signal processing methods. Summarize key responses and observations. Document results in certification reports.
• Support aeromechanical technology development projects including advanced fluid‑structure interaction methods and HCF mitigation technologies.
• Prepare and present technical information to internal and external customers.
• Ensure proper documentation of aeromechanics design, analysis, and test data.
• Share engineering information, lessons learned, and promote open dialogue.
• Prepare invention disclosures for technology that provides a competitive advantage.

• Bachelor’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering or Mechanical Engineering (or related discipline) with an emphasis in vibration, aerodynamics, acoustics, or aeromechanics and a minimum of 3 years of relevant technical experience.
• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. GE Aerospace will not sponsor employment visas.

• Master’s degree or Ph.D. in Engineering.
• Knowledge of mechanical design and finite element analysis software such as ANSYS.
• Knowledge of aerodynamics design and CFD software such as CFX.
• Experience in aeroelastic vibration test, instrumentation, and data analysis.
• Programming skills such as Fortran, MATLAB, or Python.
• Highly motivated, passionate, and exceptional communication skills.
• Proven teaming and collaboration skills.

This role requires access to U.S. export‑controlled information. Employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. citizen, granted asylee or refugee status.
