Inspection Systems (Optics) Engineer

Overview

Lead the architecture, design and integration of end-to-end inspection systems at GE Aerospace's John F. Welch Technology Center in Bengaluru, covering sensors, electronics, data acquisition and analytics.

What you'll do

• Lead the architecture, design, and integration of end-to-end inspection systems, including sensors, electronics, data acquisition, and analytics.
• Translate inspection requirements and performance targets into system specifications and test plans.
• Own system-level trade-off decisions across hardware, software, and inspection performance.
• Develop and implement signal analytics methods for processing, denoising, and interpreting inspection data.
• Formulate and solve inverse problems to infer material states, defects, or geometry from measured signals.
• Drive implementation of advanced algorithms (e.g., optimization, reconstruction, classification) to improve detection and characterization.
• Lead efforts in sensor selection, design, and miniaturization for embedded, portable, or integrated inspection solutions.
• Evaluate and optimize sensor performance, robustness, and reliability in realistic operating environments.
• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to integrate miniaturized sensors into inspection platforms.
• Provide technical leadership on inspection technology, signal analytics, and system integration topics.
• Review designs, algorithms, and test results to ensure technical rigor and alignment with project objectives.
• Plan and lead system-level tests, pilots, and validation activities in lab and field environments.
• Analyze performance metrics and identify opportunities for improvement in sensitivity, robustness, and usability.
• Document system behavior, limitations, and lessons learned, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Collaborate with design, manufacturing, operations, quality, and product management teams to ensure inspection solutions meet business and customer needs.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Contribute to roadmaps, proposals, and strategy for inspection technologies and related products.

What you'll need

• 2-3 years of industry experience in inspection or medical imaging technology, sensor systems, signal analytics, or closely related areas.
• Proven track record building complete systems (from concept to deployment) that integrate sensors, data acquisition, and signal processing.
