Job Description Summary

　　Job Description

　　As a Fellow Intern in the Microelectronics Team, you will design and model radiofrequency (RF) based sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM) of aerospace parts in harsh environments. Your research work will happen as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes materials scientists and RF and electronics engineers. The main goal is to produce innovative, high-resolution, high-quality factor (Q) sensor structures that can be additively fabricated via direct-write printed electronics methods. Specific goals are as follows:

　　Design sensor units and sensor arrays that can detect changes in more than one physical property while discriminating between them.

　　Electromagnetically (EM) model the response of sensing units to physical property changes under harsh, aerospace-relevant conditions - for example, high-temperature and load.

　　Evaluate performance improvements due to changes in feature sizes and geometry of the sensing units, including print resolution, conductive traces aspect ratio and film thickness.

　　Provide guidance to manufacturing and reliability engineers and use feedback from materials and devices characterization to optimize EM models in a continuous iterative process.

　　At GE Aerospace Research, scientists, engineers, and technicians innovate for the future of flight. An internship with us will provide valuable hands-on experience to help you launch your career in industrial research. Intern assignments are typically for 12-14 weeks; working side by side with experts in the fields of mechanical and aerospace engineering, completing challenging technical projects and applying theoretical knowledge to real-life technical problems. This program includes seminars on cross-center technology and soft skills development as well as opportunities for networking and showcasing project accomplishments.

　　Required Qualifications

　　Current enrollment in a full-time Ph.D. degree program in Electrical Engineering or related disciplines at an ABET accredited university

　　Legal authorization to work in the U.S.

　　Minimum GPA 3.0 / 4.0 scale

　　​ Desired Characteristics

　　Excellent academic performance with technical research orientation

　　Ability to adapt to change and willingness to be flexible in a global team environment

　　Prior internship experience in a research organization

　　Strong interpersonal skills, initiative and organization; demonstrated ability working with a team

　　Strong problem solving skills, thorough attention to detail

　　The pay range for this position is $1,000-$2,000 USD weekly. The specific weekly rate offered to a candidate may be influenced by a variety of factors including the candidate’s experience, their education, and the work location. GE provides travel reimbursement and housing stipend for qualified interns.
