Job summary

GE Aerospace is seeking an Electrical Systems Engineer to lead high‑reliability digital power conversion and electric drive systems for aerospace applications. You will drive architecture, design, verification, and validation of Thermal Management Systems and high‑voltage power conversion hardware.

You will collaborate across hardware, test, and manufacturing teams, ensuring safe, robust, and compliant solutions that meet safety, quality, delivery, and cost requirements.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering or related discipline with emphasis in power electronics, power conversion, or electric drives.
• 15+ years of experience in electrical engineering and electrical systems engineering with focus on power electronics, digital power conversion, and/or electric drive systems 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 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 for high‑voltage aerospace applications.
• Plan and execute verification and validation of digital power conversion hardware and systems, including lab setup and environmental, functional, and performance tests (e.g., DO160/MIL-STD-461/MIL-STD-704).
• Define and validate insulation coordination and HV design rules to meet aerospace safety and reliability expectations.
