As GE Aerospace’s Bengaluru Engineering Center marks its 25-year legacy, a trio of 25-year-old engineers embodies the facility’s forward trajectory. This key R&D hub, pivotal to advancing GE Aerospace and CFM International engine technologies, credits its sustained innovation partly to the transformative Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP).

Forging Future Aviation Leaders
The EEDP is a selective two-year incubator molding recent graduates into adept aerospace problem-solvers. Distinct from conventional training, its dual-track approach prioritizes entrepreneurial initiative. The foundational "A Course" immerses engineers in aerospace fundamentals and specialized teams, while the advanced "B Course" tasks them with leading projects tackling real-world business gaps. Over 150 EEDP alumni now drive innovation at the Bengaluru center.

Meet the Next-Gen Innovators:

1. Neha Bhosale: Material Science Driving Efficiency
   Recruited from campus, Bhosale’s passion for material science found its niche in aviation. Her initial rotation in Materials Engineering revealed the critical role of materials enduring extreme flight stresses. "Aviation merges science, tech, and creativity for complex solutions," she notes. Her analysis of material behavior and property curves, bolstered by A Course foundational knowledge, now contributes to the CFM RISE program. She’s exploring lightweight composites to replace heavier metals, targeting 20% better fuel efficiency. A global Aerospace Foundation Seminar deepened her grasp of GE’s safety, quality, delivery, and cost (SQDC) principles.

2. Sachin Sundarrajan: AI & Mechanical Precision
   Sundarrajan’s childhood fascination with machines led to a master’s in machine design and EEDP. "Aerospace is mechanical design's pinnacle, demanding ultimate reliability," he states. On the Mechanical Analysis team, he employs finite element analysis to assess engine component stresses. Visits to U.S. facilities like Peebles (engine testing) and Lafayette (production) provided tangible context: "We felt the steel – the actual components we design remotely." For his B Course, he's pioneering AI applications for core engineering challenges. He highlights EEDP’s unique network: "Weekly A Course modules connect us with 28+ veteran domain experts."

3. Geethika Kilari: Electrifying Aviation’s Future
   Kilari’s internship on the RISE program illuminated an electrical engineer’s role in aerospace. Now in EEDP’s Electrical Power Team, she develops hybrid-electric converters for RISE, performing predictive pre-tests and simulations. "It's reverse and forward engineering simultaneously," she explains. She values EEDP’s holistic approach: the A Course builds core knowledge, while the B Course focuses on leading solution implementation. "A true engineer identifies unmet needs and adds value," she asserts. Kilari sees massive potential in India’s soaring aviation sector and is committed to sustainable tech: "We’re pushing innovation here in Bengaluru."

Program Philosophy & Impact
"EEDP embodies Thomas Edison’s spirit: identify global needs and engineer solutions," explains Satya Reddy, EEDP Program Manager. "We challenge young talent, align their unique skills with industry demands, and deliver collectively." The program fosters extensive global peer networks, enhancing understanding of worldwide aerospace challenges.

As GE Aerospace’s Bengaluru hub celebrates 25 years, these young engineers, symbolically sharing its anniversary, represent the human capital driving India’s ascent in cutting-edge, sustainable aviation technology.
