Job summary

GE Aerospace seeks an Electrical Systems Engineer to lead high‑reliability digital power conversion, HV design, and TMS control for aerospace applications. You will collaborate across architecture, design, verification, and manufacturing to deliver safe, robust power solutions.

The role emphasizes cross‑functional teamwork with mechanical and systems engineering, HV testing, and lab automation, with opportunities for mentoring, up to 10% travel, and a competitive compensation package.

Qualifications

Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with emphasis in power electronics, power conversion, or electric drives.
Significant experience (e.g., 15+ years) in electrical engineering and electrical systems engineering with focus on power electronics, digital power conversion, and/or electric drive systems, and controls hardware for aerospace or similarly demanding applications.
Proven experience leading the design, verification, and validation of power conversion hardware (DC/DC, AC/DC, DC/AC) and associated control electronics.
Experience with high‑voltage systems, insulation coordination, and HV testing and qualification activities.
Demonstrated ability to work across cross‑functional technical teams and manage technical scope, schedule, and risk.

Responsibilities

Own system‑level requirements flow‑down for digital power conversion hardware, decomposing customer and system requirements into clear, testable hardware and firmware requirements, and ensuring traceability throughout the design lifecycle.
Document and communicate design decisions, analyses, and test outcomes through formal reports and technical reviews, ensuring traceability and a strong customer‑driven focus.
Lead architecture and detailed design of digital power conversion, including DC/DC stages, gate drives, protection circuits, sensing chains, and control electronics, with emphasis on high‑voltage and high‑power aerospace applications.
Plan and execute verification and validation of digital power conversion hardware and systems, including procedure authorship, lab setup, and execution of environmental, functional, and performance tests.
Define and validate insulation coordination and HV design rules, including creepage/clearance and high‑voltage practices for converters and drive systems operating at several kilovolts, to meet aerospace safety and reliability expectations.
Design and Review PCBs and schematics for power stages, gate drivers, control boards, and sensing modules using industry‑standard tools, collaborating with layout, mechanical, and systems teams to ensure robust, manufacturable designs.
Lead high‑voltage testing and qualification activities, including partial discharge tests and insulation tests at altitude and ground level, using results to drive design improvements and ensure long‑term reliability.
Work with AI&T to develop and improve automated test benches and lab infrastructure for digital power testing, including scripting and automation where appropriate, and champion lab safety and structured test procedures.
