Ensure the safety of all people engaged in the technical scope of their work - including safety of humans working alongside robotic and autonomous systems - as fundamental to how we operate, above all else.

Continuously scan and interpret the external landscape - academia, national labs, startups, competitors, and adjacent industries - and translate that view into a clear point of view on the long-range robotics and autonomy threats and opportunities most consequential to GE Aerospace, including areas well beyond today's product technology roadmap and in adjacent or emerging markets.

Discover, curate, and drive revolutionary technological advancements in robotics, autonomy, and human-machine teaming that translate into high-impact business outcomes for GE Aerospace on a long (typically 10-15+ year, in some cases further) horizon.

Shape and own program outcomes: define the technical thesis in terms of the business advantage it creates, retire key technical and adoption risks early, set aggressive but meaningful milestones, and drive operation, quality, and delivery to impact.

Drive multi-disciplinary efforts that reach beyond the individual's own technical area of expertise - actively convening and integrating capabilities from other disciplines across GE Aerospace Research and beyond (for example, materials, manufacturing, aero-thermal, controls, systems, digital and AI, human factors, and others as needed) - recognizing that the highest-impact opportunities are usually cross-cutting rather than contained within a single discipline.

Actively identify new opportunity areas where robotics and autonomy can create advantage for GE Aerospace - across manufacturing, maintenance and services, product, and emerging domains - rather than working within a fixed technical scope.

Leverage technology strategy - roadmaps, technology scouting, and portfolio choices - as a means to secure competitive advantage and business outcom
