The Role & Essential Responsibilities

Technical:

You will use your experience of the full design-to-release lifecycle to be a senior member of the team delivering the Systems Verification and Integration phases of a power distribution system. As such you will own and deliver the more complex tests and issues or larger packages of work. You will be joining a dynamic environment that enables every engineer to reach their potential as the team switches from design definition to design verification through to final delivery.

You will contribute to the development of a Lab environment suitable for troubleshooting and testing a new electrical power distribution system. If the test fails then you will apply your Systems Engineering knowledge to analyse the results and either update the test procedure or enable the software team to de-bug the software. You will design in modifications into the systems lab environment and perform hands-on systems testing to expand on your knowledge of test equipment and processes for working safely in high power environments.

Coaching and Teaching:

You will be committed to inclusion and diversity and passionate about coaching and technically developing engineers to reach their potential.

Global Teams:

We partner across the globe to create the best project outcomes by maximizing the design and support capabilities of our global teams. By joining our team, you will commit to supporting and engaging with these teams, as we work to build a strong organisation!

Planning and Delivery:

Providing support to project leadership in planning activities to ensure that the technical scope is accurately captured. Lead the team to work to this agreed plan and hold them to account for the agreed priorities and milestones.

Customer Focus:

You will effectively collaborate with the customer and other engineering teams and stakeholders to ensure that all milestones and deliverables are met.

Career Development:

By joining GE Aviation at Cheltenham, ultimately, as part of a healthy Power team, you will have the opportunity to move projects and roles to provide variety and grow your responsibility as your experience increases.

Qualifications / Requirements

This shows a knowledge of working with complex system designs, for implementation in hardware and software.
• Strong organisation and communication skills
• Experience of the systems design lifecycle will help you in activities such as capturing, understanding and documenting the customer’s system and testing requirements. Strong understanding of what makes a good requirement and how this impacts validation.
• Good appreciation of baseline management is essential.
• Knowledge of different verification strategies and test equipment will aid in creating, updating and performing systems tests – be it script-based automated tests, or writing procedures for manual actions. Knowledge of test infrastructure and design of testing facilities is key to success in this role.
• The ability to leverage your experience to contribute to the modification of the power distribution systems architecture (in collaboration with other technical leads and the customers based on feedback received from testing).
