About The Organization
The Lynn Turbofan Turbojet Engineering section provides technical leadership in the Systems and Design Engineering disciplines for the F414 and F404 product lines. Program responsibilities span the entire engineering lifecycle including New Product Introduction (NPI) programs and Sustaining programs for operational fleets. Current NPI programs include the F404-103 for the USAF Advanced Pilot Trainer, the F404-104 for the Hurjet Trainer, the F414-400K for the KF-21, and the F414-100 for NASA’s X-59 demonstrator. The Sustaining programs include production delivery, services engineering, and component improvement programs in support of the flying fleet of US Navy and international operators. The engineering team is dedicated to providing safe and reliable operation of the F414 and F404 engines in support of the Mission of our customers … and continuing to be the engine of choice in this thrust class.
About The Position
The Mechanical Systems Advanced Lead Engineer is responsible for design and development of mechanical systems components. You will be exposed to a broad range of technical problem solving throughout the F414/F404 engine lines, developing an understanding of the interactions between the lubrication system as it pertains to other modules as well as bearings, gearing, and structural hardware. Hardware ownership responsibilities include analysis, design & tollgate reviews, manufacturing reviews, supplier investigations, processing of Changes in Design (CID), Requests for Proposals (RFP) and more.
Working at our Lynn Facility
Come and elevate your career in a facility that combines a rich tradition of aviation technology with a deep commitment to the future of flight. The GE Aerospace manufacturing site in Lynn designs, produces, assembles, and tests military and commercial aircraft engines and components. With 1.6 million sqft of manufacturing space, we’re making a huge contribution to the future of flight. And, considering that very first jet engines were born here in 1942, we clearly are the career home of people who are deeply knowledgeable about building quality engines. What’s more, GE Aerospace has invested more than $100 million in our facility in the last five years alone.
