GE Aerospace plans to hire more than 900 engineers in 2024, reflecting its continued focus on innovation to support current aircraft engine programmes and develop new technologies for the future of flight.
Hiring has already commenced and will continue throughout the year. Openings include experienced engineer roles for programmes such as CFM International’s revolutionary innovation for sustainable engines (RISE) technology demonstrator and advanced military engine programmes.
While most engineering roles are expected to be filled in the U.S., positions will also be available globally.
“Throughout our history, GE Aerospace has been at the forefront of innovation,” said Mohamed Ali, vice president of engineering for GE Aerospace. “Today, we’re entering a new era of technology development focused on reducing emissions with new architectures, advanced materials, manufacturing processes, and supercomputing capabilities revolutionising what’s possible. Now as a standalone public company with innovation at the core of what we do, we look forward to welcoming more engineers to help us invent the future of flight.”
Top disciplines in high demand include mechanical and thermal design, analysis, systems, controls and aerodynamics.
“GE Aerospace is proud to power the flying military fleet and supply advanced avionics and electric power systems to military and commercial customers around the world,” said Darin DiTommaso, vice president of engineering for GE Aerospace Defense & Systems. “Our revolutionary new technologies and capabilities are laying the foundation for generations to come, and we are excited to welcome experienced engineers who will help ensure continued U.S. aviation superiority.”
In 2023, GE Aerospace spent approximately US$2.3 billion on aviation research and development, including external customer and partner funding. To continue advancing technology building blocks to redefine the future of flight, plans for research and development spending in 2024 are in the range of 6-8% of revenues, including external funding.
Engineering hiring efforts for technology innovation follow the announcement made earlier this year that GE Aerospace plans to invest US$650 million in its manufacturing facilities and supply chain. These investments aim to increase production and strengthen quality to better support commercial and defence customers.
