• Complete risk assessments, proofing out, validation and verification of new concepts

• Get to know the customers and build a reputation of tool support with them to learn their needs and develop strategies to cut labor intensive and long cycle time efforts from their CFD design practices: pre-processing, solver interaction, and post-processing.

• Learn and support CFD geometry and meshing tools and analysis for turbomachinery component design.

• Train designers on tool products and execution

• Work with the designers to create aerodynamics design best practices

• Support design teams across GE Aviation: spanning multiple countries including US, Poland, India, and Mexico.

• Support military and commercial tool applications.

• Collaborate with users to identify issue, research problem, and propose solutions.

• Provide timely communications on significant issues.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• Bachelors of Science Degree in Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics

• Minimum 7 years engineering experience in geometry creation and cleanup for CFD modeling (via CAD packages)

• Minimum 7 years meshing/gridding experience for CFD modeling

• Some tool development experience in automating meshing/gridding CFD modeling

• Strong skills in tool development and multiple programming languages.

• Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Strong cross-functional (IT/Engineering), teaming, and communication skills.

• Location where work needs to be performed is Greenville, SC

• Must be US Citizen

Desired Characteristics:

• Preferred education: Master's or Doctorate Degree in Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering related to fluid mechanics

• Engineering experience in turbo-machinery fundamentals and analysis

• Prior experience with RANS and LES code development

• Prior experience in turbomachinery geometry creation and model cleanup for automated meshing purposes

• Prior experience in turbomachinery CFD meshing with a focus on tool creation/automation

• Experience with analytical software such NX, PRO-Engineer, CATIA, Fluent (solver/meshing), Workbench, HyperMESH, STAR-CCM, or other geometry creation and meshing tools for CFD

• Proficiency in programming languages: examples are scripting (C, perl, Predix), Fortran, C, macros (UG user functions, etc…)

• Customer focused

• Strong problem-solving abilities

• Solid oral and written communication skills

• Good communication skills and able to work within a team environment

• Ability to work in a fast paced, multi-task environment

This role is restricted to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and other protected individuals under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)) due to access to export-controlled technology. GE will require proof of status prior to employment.
