Conduct technical planning and execution of aircraft studies. Orchestrate aircraft mission analysis including: fuel burn, payload, and range assessments of various aircraft and route networks. Address data points from aircraft mission analysis in parallel to economic value assessments to ultimately support future product strategy, engine design optimization, and marketing and sales campaigns. Work directly with leaders in a cross-organizational team comprised of the engineering, engine product line, marketing and sales teams. Create current and future aircraft models with GE & partner engines and competitor engines. Define aircraft performance and economic studies that answer customer questions related, but not limited to: technical requirements development (thrust, offtakes, constraints, etc.), or engine design, integration and optimization. Provide support, results and key conclusions to engineering, engine product line, marketing, sales and leadership. Support GE product strategy and design development through assessment of potential future aircraft and engine performance capability. Contribute to hybrid electric studies and to work scope planning on potential hybrid opportunities. Collaborate with senior leadership to shape strategy. Interact effectively with airframe contacts regarding performance, integration, and economic issues. Participate on cross functional industry teams. Drive improved efficiency, capability, and fidelity into standard processes through continuous improvement and accountability.
