Job Description Summary Operability in jet engine engineering is a cross-functional discipline focused on ensuring a gas turbine engine operates safely, stably, and reliably across its entire intended flight envelope, spanning from sub-idle to maximum power and for various environmental conditions. It acts as an integrator between performance (efficiency), compressor aerodynamics, aircraft inlet design, engine control systems and more, to ensure that high-performance designs do not suffer from instabilities like compressor stall/surge, combustor blowout, or over-temperature conditions. This level of design and analysis guarantees that the pilot has unrestricted throttle operation to accomplish their mission. At GE Aerospace, we believe the world works better when it flies. We are a world-leading provider of jet engines, components, and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft. Working at GE Aerospace means you are bringing your unique perspective, innovative spirit, drive, and curiosity to a collaborative and diverse team. It means that if you have ideas, we will listen.
