Senior Engineer - Micro-Sensor & Material Science

About the role

GE Aerospace is looking for a Senior Engineer in Micro-Sensor and Material Science to develop and execute novel measurement applications for its future-of-flight test programs. Working hands-on in a collaborative team, you will apply materials and microfabrication expertise and integrate sensor systems into next-generation engines, working closely with scientists, engineers, interns and laboratory personnel to deliver projects on time.

Key responsibilities

• Design and execute microfabricated sensor applications for aerospace engines and aircraft testing.
• Support microfabricated sensor system integration to engine and rig, and support testing and data post-processing.
• Support microfabricated sensor process improvement and update process documents.
• Maintain lab facilities and equipment and update their operational procedures.
• Adhere to business standards, practices, procedures and product requirements.
• Review designs and consult with senior technical leaders on work evaluation.
• Develop project design, implementation and cost proposals.
• Build internal and external customer relationships as an interface point within GE Aerospace.
• Lead the Thin Film Lab technology development and gain hands-on experience with thin film processes.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in engineering, materials science and/or physical sciences from an accredited institution.
• Proven ability to use materials science, engineering or analytical chemistry principles to achieve design, quality and instrumentation goals.
• At least 5 years of physical vapor deposition (PVD) experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government security clearance; U.S. citizenship is a prerequisite.
• Ability to access U.S. export-controlled information; employment is contingent on proving U.S. person status (lawful permanent resident, citizen, asylee or refugee).

Required skills

• Hands-on experience with PVD systems and processing.
• Good understanding of the physics and chemistry of physical vapor deposition, especially sputter deposition.
• Experience in a wet chemical lab and/or cleanroom environment (semiconductor, thin film deposition).
• Experience developing thin and thick film processes on complex contour substrates, and characterizing single and stacked thin and thick film layers.
• Experience with thin-film based transducers and executing technology roadmaps.
• Desired: hands-on experience with photolithography or similar precision patterning, and experience with high-temperature handling materials.

What we offer

• Healthcare benefits including medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage, plus a Health Coach and Employee Assistance Program.
• Retirement savings plan with company matching and contributions, and access to Fidelity resources.
• Tuition assistance, adoption assistance, paid parental leave, disability insurance, life insurance and paid time off.
• Relocation assistance provided.
