About our Opportunity:
The people at GE Global Research, powered by ideas and with the resources of one of the world’s most successful companies, are passionate about bringing breakthrough innovations to life. People who believe, “what we imagine, we can make happen.”
As a Mechanical Engineer—Reciprocating Engines, you will develop new reciprocating engine technologies that improve efficiency and reduce emissions for large medium speed diesel engines. You will validate these new technologies in close collaboration with GE Transportation. In addition, and occasionally participate in resolution of design challenges.
As a Mechanical Engineer—Reciprocating Engines, you will:
- Perform research and development projects for the next generation reciprocating engine technologies
- Plan experiments and analysis to demonstrate these technologies under realistic conditions.
- Conduct experiments on single and multi-cylinder diesel engines that quantify the benefits of new technology.
- Communicate results to counterparts in the research center and at the GE businesses.
- Document results through patent applications, technical reports and publications.
Required:
- YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SATISFY THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 19 OF THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE ACT.
- Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering.
- In-depth knowledge of reciprocating engines.
- Specific experiences in a relevant in-cylinder reciprocating experiment or engine emissions control technologies.
- Hands-on lab experience in experimental aspects of reciprocating engine technology including using instrumentation, executing experiments, and reducing data.
- Must be willing to work out of an office located in Niskayuna, NY.
- Must be willing to take a drug test and submit to a background investigation as part of the selection process.
- Unrestricted work authorization in the US is required for all candidates.
- Must be 18 years or older.
Desired Characteristics:
- Minimum 2 years of post degree experience in reciprocating engine development.
- Specific experience with clean diesel engine technologies.
- Specific experience in particulate emissions aftertreatment.
- Specific experience with advanced reciprocating engine technologies (exhaust gas recirculation, Miller cycle and HCCI/PCCI, etc).
- Specific experierce with optical diagnostics and fast-time response diagnostics related to reciprocating engine research
- Specific experience with CFD or engine analysis codes (GTPower, KIVA, etc).
- Specific experience with CAD design codes (Unigraphics, Solid Works, etc).
- Understanding of Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methods - experience in optimization, probabilistic design, and Design of Experiment (DOE).
- Superb communication skills.
- Exceptional passion for science and technology.
- Clear evidence of innovation and creativity.
- Excellent work ethic, and able to work well with broad and diverse teams.
- Demonstrated dedication to completing jobs on time and on budget.
General:
It started with the light bulb. In order for the light bulb to illuminate, electricity was needed, and since no challenge was too big for the entrepreneurs of the early GE, they built the systems that brought electricity and light to the world. This is the heritage of GE, and it continues today at GE Global Research, when the challenges are no less daunting and the promises no less consequential. Today, we are:
- Creating new ways for doctors to “see” inside the human body so that diseases can be diagnosed and treated before they even start.
- Developing the energy systems of the future that will provide power and protect the planet.
- Powering flight so that people can travel farther, faster, and more safely.
- Building intelligent systems that monitor and protect, bringing people peace of mind.
The Energy and Propulsion Technologies organization comprises approximately 300 researchers at 5 locations around the globe. These researchers are dedicated to developing new technologies to advanced the state of the art in a wide range of energy and propulsion technologies, including gas and coal powerplants, fuel cells, jet engines, and locomotives. Energy and Propulsion Technology researchers are at the forefront of GE’s ecomagination initiative, developing energy and propulsion technologies that are more efficient and provide a cleaner environment.
As a Mechanical Engineer, you will report directly to the Lab Manager for the Propulsion Systems Laboratory (PSL). PSL develops propulsion systems technologies for a wide range of propulsion products including diesel locomotives and aviation gas turbines. Specific technologies include advanced turbomachinery design, flow control technologies, emissions control components and systems, and revolutionary propulsion cycles. PSL researchers are constantly pushing the envelope in clean and efficient propulsion technologies.
