JOB TITLE: Engineer - Mechatronics
The Mechatronics Lab at GE Aerospace Research seeks an early career researcher to serve as a Lead Engineer. In this role, you will design and build electromechanical systems that integrate mechanisms, sensors, actuators, and feedback control. Your daily responsibilities include designing mechanisms and end effectors in 3D CAD, building prototype hardware from machined or 3D-printed components, and developing motion control software. You will utilize tools such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo, MATLAB, Python, C, C++, and LabVIEW to perform kinematics modeling, finite element analysis, and data acquisition. This position focuses on developing tools for engine inspection, robotic cells for manufacturing, and automated assembly components to solve complex aerospace maintenance and production challenges through rigorous testing and prototype development.
Design mechanisms, end effectors, fixtures, and test rigs in 3D CAD with engineering drawings and tolerance analysis.
Build and debug prototype hardware using machined, 3D-printed, and purchased components.
Integrate motors, encoders, load cells, and data acquisition hardware into functional electromechanical systems.
Develop motion control and sensor-feedback software for multi-axis tools, including homing and force control.
Model mechanism kinematics, system dynamics, and structural loads using MATLAB, Python, or finite element analysis.
Plan and execute bench and engine-hardware tests while logging and analyzing performance data.
Document designs, code, and test results in technical reports and presentations for customers and internal teams.
Transition prototypes to field use by partnering with robotics, sensing, and manufacturing teams.
What we're looking for
Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Robotics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related STEM discipline.
Coursework, research, or project experience in mechanism design, control systems, or electromechanical integration.
U.S. Citizenship is required.
Ability to obtain an active U.S. Government Secret Clearance and meet U.S. Person status for export-controlled information.
Willingness to work from the GE Aerospace Research office in Niskayuna, NY.
Prior intern, co-op, or research experience in a university, national lab, industry, or applied research setting (preferred).
Experience with 3D CAD such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, or Creo, including engineering drawings and GD&T (preferred).
Programming experience in Python, C, C++, MATLAB, or LabVIEW for data acquisition or embedded controllers (preferred).
