Ge Transportation Work Values

Daily Duties at Ge Transportation:

Responsible for all diesel engine sensors and wiring to include the holding of design reviews, validation of design changes utilizing DFSS tools. Select better/more appropriate sensors to sense engine parameters. Select sensors based upon an understanding of engine - sensor performance characteristics and component cost vs. system design relationships. Conduct testing of sensors in the engine environment during lab and field operation. Develop field instructions to retrofit customer fleets. Lead engineer for the development of temperature and pressure sensors used with all locomotives. Responsible for the engineering sensor interface to manufacturing, and field support. Projects included improving locomotive manufacturability and serviceability by redesigning engine components to decrease manpower and assembly time required to set-up and checkout the engine/sensor interface and redesigning of sensor systems to improve field serviceability. Develop better and more reliable sensors for the 6000 HP diesel engine locomotive. Design, develop and program reliability test cells to validate life cycle cost analysis of sensors and subcomponents. Select better/more appropriate sensors to sense engine parameters. Select sensors based upon an understanding of engine - sensor performance characteristics and component cost vs. system design relationships. Conduct testing of sensors in the engine environment during lab and field operation. Develop field instructions to retrofit customer fleet. This task required the development of system functional specifications, func¬tional fail¬ure mode effects analysis (FMEA); system developmental testing, qualification testing, and develop¬ment of an on board knowledge based artificial intelligence system to analyze and predict incipient failures.

What they like about Ge Transportation:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
