Lead Engineer – Engine Mounts

Role overview

Lead Engineer – Engine Mounts at GE Aerospace

Ideal Candidate.

Required qualifications

• Here, you will have the opportunity to work on really cool things with really smart and collaborative people.

Employment details

• Location: Bengaluru [Karnātaka] [India]

Application details

• Partner with manufacturing shops and suppliers to resolve non-conforming hardware and production issues, including Material Review Board (MRB) dispositions, Departure Records, etc., Apply technical judgement and data analysis to moderately complex engineering, manufacturing, and product issues.

About the employer

• As a Lead Engineer in the Engine Mounts team within Engineering Sciences at GE Aerospace Bengaluru, you will own the structural integrity and airworthiness of engine attachment hardware across our commercial engine portfolio, from in-service engines such as the CF34, GE90 and GEnx, to the GE9X, to next-generation propulsion concepts including the RISE programme.

Additional role details

• Own and meet on-time commitments across new product introduction, in-service sustaining, and advanced technology programmes, balancing competing priorities without compromising safety or quality.
• Execute design, analysis, and evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles, GE Aerospace design practices, and established business standards — combining classical hand calculations with finite element analysis to size and justify engine components and modules.
• Define and control how the engine attaches to the aircraft - mount system architecture, load paths and reactions, interface loads and geometry, stiffness and clearance budgets, and thermal growth and deflection management across the installed configuration.
• Assess mount and interface hardware against flight, ground, manoeuvre, and limit and ultimate load conditions, including critical transient events such as fan blade-out and windmilling imbalance, and support the whole-engine and installed-system models that underpin them.
• Bring fresh perspective to established solutions, and draw on sources beyond your own function to reach the right answer.
• Present findings, recommendations, and results in design reviews, technical reports, memos, and presentations, to peers, programme leaders, and external partners alike.
• Ideal candidate should have experience in solid mechanics and mechanical design, with practical, hands-on experience in finite element analysis (FEA).
• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil, or a related engineering discipline, with 4+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's degree with 3+ years, or a PhD with relevant research or industry experience.
• Strong foundation in solid mechanics and mechanical design, with practical, hands-on experience in finite element analysis (FEA).
• A track record of delivering results across multiple concurrent projects, balancing timing and quality of outcomes.
• Clear written and spoken communication in English.
• Experience with aircraft engine mounts, aero-structures, or other highly loaded structural hardware.
• Experience with whole-engine or installed-system structural models, interface load extraction, or transient load events such as fan blade-out and windmilling.
• Material Review Board (MRB) certification in the structures domain, or experience supporting non-conformance dispositions.
• Familiarity with FAA Part 33 and/or Part 25 certification processes.
• Understanding of manufacturing and inspection processes, and of structural repair methods.
• Comfort with digital and analytics tools to enable data-driven engineering decisions — including automation of repetitive analysis work.
• A systems-thinking approach: connecting hardware decisions to programme cost, schedule, and certification outcomes.
• Strong interpersonal skills and an instinct for building networks across functions, sites, and supplier partners.
• A quick learner who prioritises strategically, challenges existing processes constructively, and follows through.
