Staff Engineer - Edison Works Control Systems
GE Aerospace •
Position Type: Permanent
Job Description:
Job Description SummaryHave you ever wondered what makes a turbofan engine so cool? Some people think its the fan, or the high- or low-pressure turbines, or the combustor, or even the augmentor (on military engines).
On my team we think its the logic and software that stitch all those subsystems together to form a cohesive operating machine - one that can readily respond to pilot inputs while still providing safe and fuel-efficient thrust to complete the mission. This logic also provides diagnostic and prognostic capabilities to better support our customers fleet needs.
In this role we design, develop, validate and certify new engine control strategies to deliver innovative products for exciting Military applications; we also support legacy, fielded product needs -- investigating field events and evaluating potential solutions to provide more robust, reliable engine operation.
If you have a passion for delivering integrated hardware and software solutions Id encourage you to come check out some of the really interesting projects that we are delivering.Job Description
