## Description

GE Aerospace is seeking a Propulsion Performance Engineer to support the development and testing of flowpaths for hypersonic air-breathing propulsion systems. In this role, you will work as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team to design, analyze, test, and mature propulsion technologies that contribute to the development of flight-ready hardware., You will work in a team that performs research and development of fluid delivery systems in support of hypersonic air-breathing propulsion and vehicle systems. In this role you will:

 * Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of engineers to design, analyze, and test flowpaths for high-speed air-breathing engines, using results to inform the design of flight-ready systems.
 * Apply core engineering principles to technical assignments and flowpath development activities.
 * Lead and participate in computational analyses to guide design improvements, using both spreadsheet-based tools, propulsion deck generation tools, and leveraging results generated using CFD, FEA and multiphysics solvers.
 * Document and communicate assumptions, inputs, analysis methods, and proposed solutions to multidisciplinary teams for technical review.
 * Support the validation of new designs and technologies through test activities.
 * Prepare presentations and briefing materials to communicate technical ideas, project status, and recommendations.
 * Work effectively with Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to develop and verify design solutions that meet program objectives for technical performance, cost, and schedule.
 * Interact with industry partners and subcontractors to review analyses, concepts, and design approaches.
 * Demonstrate a working understanding of business drivers and how individual work integrates with team and program goals.
 * Exercise sound technical judgment within defined procedures and seek guidance from senior team members when needed.
 * Build effective working relationships across teams and clearly explain technical information to others.
