Job Description

Summary Activities aimed at proving a concept to be valid or technically feasible by the application of scientific and engineering methodologies. Work in this family typically has the objective of demonstrating through test or analyses the performance and implementation potential of a concept
Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.

We are looking to grow our AI Systems at GE Aerospace Research & are looking for top notch researchers to be part of this exciting journey. As a group, we innovate and execute on the R&D strategy for GE Aerospace on a range of problems from designing inspections solutions for aircraft engines to building predictive/prescriptive analytics for a variety of applications that improve process efficiencies in the business.
Site Overview
Established in 2000, the John F. Welch Technology Center (JFWTC) in Bengaluru is our multidisciplinary research and engineering center. Engineers and scientists at JFWTC have contributed to hundreds of aviation patents, pioneering breakthroughs in engine technologies, advanced materials, and additive manufacturing.
Roles and responsibilities
Model and analyze systems: Develop and validate models for aircraft power distribution, hybrid electric propulsion, and more?electric propulsion. Design power converters: Architect and build advanced converters and high?frequency resonant topologies for aerospace applications. Implement controls in hardware: Deploy control algorithms on FPGA/microcontrollers; transition designs from simulation to hardware. Ensure compliance and robustness: Design for EMI/EMC, thermal, and packaging constraints suitable for aerospace environments. Prototype and test: Lead PCB/hardware builds; execute test plans across model?in?the?loop, HIL, and bench/rig validation (Opal?RT/RT Box/dSPACE). Communicate and deliver: Present findings to stakeholders; drive projects to meet scope, quality, and schedule in cross?functional teams.
