About the Role

Innoveering, a subsidiary of GE Aerospace, is developing advanced, high-speed propulsion engines for the aerospace and defense sector. This role involves collaborating with engineers to design mechanical components for prototyping and experimental rigs.

Key Responsibilities

• Design using 3D CAD and develop designs from proof-of-concept to final manufacturable components.
• Perform 1D calculations and/or conduct Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations.
• Design and assemble in-house equipment to test products and product concepts.
• Prepare drawings for the manufacture of prototypes or components for experimental setups.
• Validate new designs and technologies through benchtop or larger-scale testing.
• Participate in brainstorming sessions to develop new ideas.
• Organize and/or attend meetings with the team to discuss project tasks and schedules.
• Prepare presentations and slides to communicate ideas and/or project progress.
• Report to the Engineering Manager or senior Mechanical Engineers.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Familiarity with mechanical design using CAD (preferably SolidWorks).
• Application of engineering principles to analyze the integrity and/or performance of designed components.
• Excellent understanding of the engineering design process, leading proof-of-concept ideas towards validated solutions.
• Proficient with 3D CAD (SolidWorks preferred).
• Strong understanding of engineering principles and applying them to technical tasks.
• Skilled with Microsoft Office Suite, specifically Excel and PowerPoint.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Must be independent and self-motivated, demonstrating strong analytical skills and creative thinking.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizenship / Ability to pass background investigation & drug screening.
• Currently attending a full-time, matriculated, and nationally accredited BS, BE, or MS program in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale (without rounding).
• Ability to work well in a team environment and coordinate between various teams and disciplines.

Preferred Skills

• Understanding of compressible flow.
• Experience with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and performing simulations in ANSYS Mechanical.
• Knowledge of Additive Manufacturing (AM), specifically DMLS, and DFAM techniques.
• Knowledge of GD&T and its application to engineering drawings.
• Experience with experimental setups and equipment in a hands-on environment.

Additional Information

• Pay rates begin at $24/hour and increase based on undergraduate year completed.
• Relocation support and housing assistance are available.
• This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Employment is contingent upon meeting the status of a U.S. Person (U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, asylee, or refugee).
