Zusammenfassung

GE Aerospace in the United States is seeking an Advanced Lead Engineer to develop and industrialize 3D metrology and NDE-enabled inspection methods for turbine airfoils and additive geometries. You will partner with Design, Manufacturing, Quality and suppliers to enable production-ready measurement capabilities.

The role requires expertise in GD&T and 3D metrology, with on-site work and travel between Cincinnati/Dayton sites.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related field from an accredited university (or equivalent experience).
• Minimum of 5 years experience in metrology/NDE/inspection engineering.
• Experience measuring complex geometries with 3D metrology methods and analyzing point cloud vs CAD.
• GD&T translation into inspection plans and criteria.

Aufgaben

• Develop and industrialize inspection solutions using 3D optical scanning, CT/X-ray, and CMM to measure turbine airfoils and additive features.
• Translate design intent and GD&T into inspection strategies, acceptance criteria, and measurement plans; collaborate with Design/Quality to align requirements and measurement.
• Lead capability studies (uncertainty, MSA/GR&R, correlation studies) and establish control plans for production-ready measurement performance.
• Create, troubleshoot, and standardize metrology programs (PolyWorks, GOM) including point-cloud-to-CAD comparisons and reporting/visualization.
• Lead cross-functional problem solving to address escapes, yield losses, and manufacturing constraints; implement countermeasures to improve SQDC.
• Create best practices, work instructions, and training to scale methods across sites and suppliers.
• Stay current on state-of-the-art NDE/metrology; evaluate new technologies and develop roadmaps aligned to business needs.
• Present technical recommendations with clear tradeoffs to internal and external stakeholders; travel to local sites/suppliers as needed.

Job Description Summary

The Advanced Lead Engineer will develop, validate, and industrialize 3D metrology and NDE-enabled inspection methods to evaluate complex additive geometries and turbine airfoils. This role will partner with Design, Manufacturing, Quality, and suppliers, and will require expertise in Manufacturing, NDE, and GD&T to impact cross-product and process development initiatives.

Job Description Roles and Responsibilities

• Develop and industrialize inspection solutions using 3D optical scanning, CT/X-ray, and CMM to measure turbine airfoils and complex additive features.


• Translate design intent and GD&T into inspection strategies, acceptance criteria, and measurement plans; partner with Design/Quality to close gaps between requirements and measurement capability.


• Lead capability studies (e.g., uncertainty, MSA/GR&R, correlation studies) and establish control plans to ensure repeatable, production-ready measurement performance.


• Create, troubleshoot, and standardize metrology programs (e.g., PolyWorks, GOM) including point-cloud-to-CAD comparisons and reporting/visualization.


• Lead cross-functional problem solving to address escapes, yield losses, and manufacturing constraints; implement countermeasures to improve SQDC.


• Create best practices, work instructions, and training/mentoring to scale methods across sites and suppliers.


• Stay current on state-of-the-art NDE/metrology; evaluate new technologies and develop roadmaps aligned to business needs.


• Present technical recommendations with clear tradeoffs (cost/schedule/capability) to internal and external stakeholders; travel to local sites/suppliers as needed.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Materials, Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, etc.) or related technical field from an accredited university or college (or high school diploma/GED with at least 15 years of engineering and science experience).


• Minimum of 5 years experience in metrology/NDE/inspection engineering.


• Demonstrated experience measuring complex geometries using 3D metrology methods and analyzing point cloud vs CAD.


• Experience working with GD&T and translating requirements into inspection plans.


• Ability to work primarily on-site (>75%) and travel between Cincinnati/Dayton sites.


• Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required.


• We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.

Desired Characteristics

• Turbomachinery hot section / HPT airfoil manufacturing & inspection experience.


• Advanced Proficiency (3+ years) with PolyWorks or GOM Inspector or similar 3D metrology programming experience.


• CT/X-ray inspection experience and correlation to other modalities (CMM/optical).


• Experience developing standard work and scaling methods to suppliers.


• Project/program leadership across cross-functional stakeholders.


• Comfortable working hands-on in development lab, manufacturing pilot line, or full rate production environments.


• This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, 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, have been granted asylee or refugee status (i.e., a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
