Job Description Summary
GE Aerospace Research has a long history of innovating materials and architectures that enable safer, more durable, and more sustainable flight. The Materials Protection and Durability team invents and matures thermal barrier coatings (TBCs), environmental barrier coatings (EBCs), and functional ceramics—and the repair and rejuvenation technologies that keep advanced hardware performing in extreme environments.

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Scientist to lead research and technology maturation in advanced ceramics and coating processes for a broad range of current and future GE Aerospace products. In this role, you will work with high autonomy, guide multi-disciplinary teams, and partner across engineering, manufacturing, and services to deliver coating solutions that move from concept to validation and, when appropriate, technology transition.
