The branch is comprised of three sections totaling about 30 people. The Fuels and Energy Section conducts research to provide critical data that supports an operational environment free of accidents and fatalities. This is achieved by continuously improving the scientific understanding of aviation propulsion systems, aviation fuel and energy systems, and electrical aircraft systems. This research enables certification of novel electric technologies, and for new aircraft to be safer, more efficient and environmentally cleaner, while older aircraft can continue to operate safely. The incumbent of this position is an Electrical Engineer and reports to the Manager, Fuels and Energy Section.

Plans and accomplishes highly complex and challenging projects/programs and other work activities under the minimal direction of a manager, project/program manager, team leader, or more experienced engineer.
