Advanced Lead Software Engineer - Control Systems

Job Description Summary

Have you ever wondered what makes a turbofan engine so cool? Some people think it's the fan, or the high- or low-pressure turbines, or the combustor, or even the augmentor (on military engines).

On my team we think it's the logic and software that stitch all those subsystems together to form a cohesive operating machine - one that can readily respond to pilot inputs while still providing safe and fuel-efficient thrust to complete the mission. This logic also provides diagnostic and prognostic capabilities to better support our customers' fleet needs.

Job Description

In this role we design, develop, validate, and qualify new engine control algorithms and strategies to deliver innovative products for exciting Military applications. Work would range from early science and technology programs to New Product Introduction (NPI) in support of the next generation of aviation products.

Roles and Responsibilities :

Engineering Solutions Management : Identify, develop, evaluate, introduce, and manage engineering solutions for product control and control system technology needs.

Control Systems Design : Apply control theory and mathematical modeling to create systems with specific desired behaviors. This includes operability, setting boundaries, cycle optimization, control logic, control-related software, sensors, hardware and software algorithms, and feedback systems to control the performance of devices, subsystems, and systems.

Technical Discipline Development : Expand knowledge in your technical discipline to execute policy / strategy effectively. This may include support roles requiring specialized technical knowledge as you acquire higher-level knowledge and skills.

Understanding Business Drivers : Possess a basic understanding of key business drivers to accomplish tasks efficiently and understand how your work integrates with other teams and contributes to the area.

Decision Making and Problem Solving : Exercise some autonomy in decision-making within a defined framework. Resolve issues requiring good technical knowledge and judgment within established procedures and consult senior team members for issues outside defined instructions.

Interpersonal and Leadership Skills : Utilize good interpersonal skills to lead junior teams if necessary. For customer-facing roles, develop strong customer relationships and serve as the interface between the customer and GE, explaining technical information clearly.

Documentation and Review : Ensure proper documentation of technical data generated for assigned projects and tasks consistent with engineering policies and procedures. Participate in technical and program reviews as a presenter or reviewer.

Required Qualifications :

Bachelor's degree in engineering from an accredited university or college

Minimum of 5 years' experience related to Aircraft Engine Controls Systems and Software development.

Due to the nature of our projects a US Citizenship is required, ability to secure and maintain a US Government Security Clearance

Desired Characteristics :

Communication Skills : Strong oral and written communication abilities.

Technical Proficiency : Familiarity with NPSS Simulation tools and Python.

Team Collaboration : Ability to work effectively in a structured team environment.

Methodologies Development : Passion for developing Aircraft Engine Controls methodologies, including hardware and software integration, requirements development and documentation, logic design, development and validation, and providing support for the product software release process.

Confidentiality : Ability to work on classified projects and maintain confidentiality.

Engine Controls Systems Experience : Relevant experience in developing Engine Controls Systems requirements.

MATLAB / Simulink Proficiency : Relevant experience developing Engine Controls logic using the MATLAB / Simulink environment and related toolset.

Mentorship : Relevant experience in coaching and mentoring less-experienced engineers in developing Engine Controls logic.

Documentation : Relevant experience in documenting Controls System logic and software development processes.
