Job Description
Essential Functions / Responsibilities:
Responsibilities in this role may include but would not be limited to:
Support Sourcing and Supply Chain using Additive Manufacturing Methods to improve delivery and cost
Lead collaborative cross-functional teams (materials, design, manufacturing, quality) to increase the technical maturity of advanced additive manufacturing methods using the TRL/MRL processes.
Execute technical projects & programs required to reduce technical risk associated with new additive manufacturing methods, building and leveraging significant domain expertise in the additive field.
Influence standard work for quality assurance through ownership and/or authorship of key specifications controlling powder, printed castings, and finished part standards; drive efficiency in processes and update additive specifications as needed
Design and conduct studies to characterize the impact of variation within manufacturing process windows, and use results to recommend updates to specifications, technical plans, and standard work instructions
Lead or support efforts to ensure part quality with a reduced reliance on physical testing and an increased reliance on non-destructive methods including, but not limited to in-process monitoring approaches and/or other standardized methods
Provide MAE (Materials Application Engineering) support for structures parts under development that utilize additive manufacturing
Make cross-product linkages, leveraging additive expertise to provide insights on current and potential additive components
Proactively identify lessons learned and best practices and ensure appropriate documentation
Provide consultation and share expertise with colleagues also developing additive technologies
Communicate significant developments with leadership and consult on technical roadmap development
Lead/support root cause investigations and corrective action implementation
In this role, you will gain or build:

Technical understanding of GE’s most advanced manufacturing technology
Cross-division and cross-business collaboration leadership skills
Qualifications/Requirements:
Bachelor’s Degree in Materials Science or closely related Engineering field
Minimum of 7 years of experience in a materials science engineering position or related additive manufacturing position
Hands on experience with material processing or handling
Desired Characteristics:
10 years of experience in materials science, with at least 7 years of industry experience in addition to any academic experience
Understanding of Additive manufacturing process (i.e., laser powder bed, cold spray, binder jet, DED, EBM) working knowledge and/or operation experience
Strong oral and written communication skills, particularly around technical documentation
Strong interpersonal skills
Demonstrated ability to analyze and resolve problems
Program management skills; ability to develop, document, market, and execute programs
Ability to guide and influence others, especially those not in a direct reporting position.
Understand how to thrive in a dynamic team environment
Background in material characterization, including metallography, thermal and mechanical property testing and analysis
Strong background in physical metallurgy
Experience with titanium and/or aluminum-based aerospace alloys
Experience with nickel and/or cobalt-based aerospace alloys
This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. If applicable, final offers will be contingent on ability to obtain authorization for access to U.S. export-controlled information from the U.S. Government.
