Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities:

As the Innovation and Technology Reliability Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in driving innovation and advancing technology solutions within the Services Technology domain. You will work closely with the Research & Development (R&D) team to conceptualize, prototype, and develop cutting-edge tools and technologies that enhance access tooling, on-engine repair, durability improvements, and escalation avoidance. This position requires a strong technical background in material and coating applications, including general knowledge of CMC manufacturing and EBC coatings. Tool development, innovation mindset, as well as proficiency in 3D printing and CAD design will also be beneficial. Candidate will also leverage engineering design principles and methodologies that emphasize iterative development, experimentation, and customer-focused problem-solving to ensure the successful execution of projects.

• Responsible for developing and managing cross functional, technology led, or product focused programs. Manages budgets and interfaces with contractors, suppliers, customers and internal functions. Manages program resource and budget allocation/integration. Manages schedule, budget, and tollgate process for NPI, requisition, or sustaining programs. Influences the programs to meet customer CTQs.
• Has knowledge of best practices and how own area integrates with others; is aware of the competition and the factors that differentiate them in the market
• Uses some judgment and has some ability to propose different solutions outside of set parameters to address more complicated manufacturing processes with technical variety and/or interdependent production cycles. Uses technical experience and analytical thinking. Uses multiple internal and limited external sources outside of own teams to arrive at decisions.
• Acts as a resource for colleagues with less experience. May lead small projects with low risks and resource requirements. Explains information; developing skills to bring team members to consensus around topics within field. Conveys performance expectations and may handle sensitive issues.
