Aparna C Sheila-Vadde
Principal Engineer, Electromagnetic Sensor Systems
As a Researcher who has been with GE and GE Aerospace for close to two decades, I’ve been working on developing customized sensor systems to inspect the quality of aircraft engine components. I am involved in every stage of the system development, starting from conceptual designs, finite element simulations, fabrication, lab testing of prototypes, algorithm development, and demonstrations in the field.
In all these years, there’s never been a dearth of technically challenging, interdisciplinary problems to solve. With opportunities to learn and a bright and supportive team passionate about developing solutions, turning concepts into working prototypes is a joy. It’s been a privilege to be part of such teams and to be in a company that fosters humility, transparency, and focus. Needless to say, this long a stint wouldn’t have been possible were it not for the flexible work options that helped me immensely in managing work and family.
Whether it’s developing innovative solutions for the Business or promoting STEM education among school girls, my experience at GE Aerospace has been truly enriching and fulfilling.
