Job Description Summary

At Avio Aero, a GE Aerospace company, we invent the future of flight, lift people up, and bring them home safely. We are a world-leading provider specializing in the design, production, and maintenance of components and propulsion systems for both civil and military aviation. Respect for people is core to our culture and part of our commitment to FLIGHT DECK, GE Aerospace’s proprietary lean operating model. We attract, develop, and retain industry‑leading talent and cultivate communities where people are respected and empowered to reach their fullest potential. For the people of Avio Aero, their work isn't just a job, it's their passion and purpose. We were meant to fly. The gas turbine flow path preliminary design engineer is an exciting opportunity to invent the future of flight developing new propulsion system architectures and technologies. The responsibilities of the role cover the design and analysis for the definition of the flow path for engines early in their design cycle. In this role you will join the Preliminary Design team within the Advanced Technology Operations section at Avio Aero.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

• Execute the preliminary flow path sizing and design of advanced propulsion systems and components

• Create and evaluate different aerothermal cycles and components arrangements with inputs from a cross‑functional team

• Define the preliminary sizing of the main gas path turbomachinery components considering inputs from cycles and mechanical systems and structures configuration using different techniques (from hand calculations to internal automation tools)

• Perform architecture feasibility studies and design exploration studies to define gas turbine engine architecture configuration

• Contribute to the capability development within the team for multi‑physics and multi‑objective systems design

• Integrate individual component elements into a larger system design considering the functional constraints (e.g. mechanical, electrical, thermal, aero, clearances, etc.).

• Interface with aero, thermal and systems competences ensuring the completeness and level of detail from each of them is adequate to the preliminary design phase

• Planning and continued reporting of own tasks work to be accomplished, providing visibility on methods and results, and managing schedule for the mechanical efforts

• Support internal and external customer data requests, ensuring proper documentation of all work

Qualifications/Requirements

• Master’s degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering

• Significant experience on gas turbine turbomachinery sizing and overall engine architecture definition and simulation

• Experienced in aerothermal gas turbine engine cycle analysis and simulation

• Experienced on the definition and evaluation of engine layouts, feasibility checks, and trade studies of early engine concepts at engine and/or module level

• Experience with numerical methods for analysis and preliminary sizing of turbomachinery and the evaluation of key metrics from compressor, turbine or combustor modules impacting the architecture

• Understanding of whole engine architecture trades impact into final system weight and installation

• Demonstrated experience with programming tools and languages

• Ability to critically analyze results and derive technical conclusions to clearly drive communication of results

• Familiarity with Research and Technology development processes

• Fluent in Italian and English

• Work Visa, in accordance with local regulation, is required

Desired Characteristics

• Familiar with various engine types and disciplines, able to apply different design approaches to new designs where appropriate

• Experience with different gas turbine types and applications (fixed wing, rotary, ...)

• Basic knowledge of CAD modeling

• Can do attitude capable to manage uncertainty and changing environments

• Experience working with cross‑functional teams in a multinational environment
