Advanced Lead Engineer - Metrology

GE Aerospace • West Chester, OH • 3h ago

Job Description Summary

The Advanced Lead Engineer will develop, validate, and industrialize 3D metrology and NDE-enabled inspection methods to evaluate complex additive geometries and turbine airfoils.

This role will partner with Design, Manufacturing, Quality, and suppliers, and will require expertise in Manufacturing, NDE, and GD&T to impact cross-product and process development initiatives.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

Develop and industrialize inspection solutions using 3D optical scanning, CT/X-ray, and CMM to measure turbine airfoils and complex additive features.

Translate design intent and GD&T into inspection strategies, acceptance criteria, and measurement plans; partner with Design/Quality to close gaps between requirements and measurement capability.

Lead capability studies (e.g., uncertainty, MSA/GR&R, correlation studies) and establish control plans to ensure repeatable, production-ready measurement performance.

Create, troubleshoot, and standardize metrology programs (e.g., PolyWorks, GOM) including point-cloud-to-CAD comparisons and reporting/visualization.

Lead cross-functional problem solving to address escapes, yield losses, and manufacturing constraints; implement countermeasures to improve SQDC.

Create best practices, work instructions, and training/mentoring to scale methods across sites and suppliers.

Stay current on state-of-the-art NDE/metrology; evaluate new technologies and develop roadmaps aligned to business needs.

Present technical recommendations with clear tradeoffs (cost/schedule/capability) to internal and external stakeholders; travel to local sites/suppliers as needed.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Materials, Mechanical, Aerospace, Manufacturing, etc.) or related technical field from an accredited university or college (or high school diploma/GED with at least 15 years of engineering and science experience).

Minimum of 5 years experience in metrology/NDE/inspection engineering.

Demonstrated experience measuring complex geometries using 3D metrology methods and analyzing point cloud vs CAD.

Experience working with GD&T and translating requirements into inspection plans.

Ability to work primarily on-site (>75%) and travel between Cincinnati/Dayton sites.

Legal authorization to work in the U.S. is required. We will not sponsor individuals for employment visas, now or in the future, for this job opening.

Desired Characteristics

Turbomachinery hot section / HPT airfoil manufacturing & inspection experience.

Advanced Proficiency (3+ years) with PolyWorks or GOM Inspector or similar 3D metrology programming experience.

CT/X-ray inspection experience and correlation to other modalities (CMM/optical).

Experience developing standard work and scaling methods to suppliers.

Project/program leadership across cross-functional stakeholders.

Comfortable working hands-on in development lab, manufacturing pilot line, or full rate production environments.

This role requires access to U.S. export-controlled information. Therefore, employment will be contingent upon the ability to prove that you meet the status of a U.S. Person as one of the following: U.S. lawful permanent resident, U.S. Citizen, have been granted asylee or refugee status (i.e., a protected individual under the Immigration and Naturalization Act, 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3)).
