About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or power systems engineering from an accredited university or college is required.
  • At least 5 years of professional experience in engineering, product management, or related functions is required.
  • At least 3 years of experience completing projects on time and on budget as an individual contributor or project manager is required.
  • At least 3 years of gas turbine, combined-cycle, or turbomachinery application engineering experience is required, including understanding equipment performance and operating capabilities such as ramp rates, black-start options, emissions, and available upgrades or design options to improve heat rate, output, and overall plant capability.
  • Ability and willingness to travel at least 25% of the time is required.

Responsibilities

  • Design and own integrated-solutions architecture, including developing and maintaining Single Line Diagrams that integrate electrical subsystems, gas power turbines, Energy Management Systems, battery energy storage, and grid hardware and software.
  • Evaluate and propose application-specific design architectures, considering system performance and reliability, and perform studies and simulations to validate system response and performance.
  • Define equipment levelized cost of energy and operational interfaces with business units; translate customer reliability requirements to internal parties and support studies on levelized cost of energy and reliability analysis.
  • Lead definition of onsite generation reports, gather information to support customer meetings, and submit final reports.
  • Serve as business unit coordinator for ongoing customer projects and proposals.
  • Support and lead cross-functional coordination studies and requirements testing for the entire power system, working with Consulting Services and business units across engineering, sales, and product development to grow power-systems capabilities.
  • Apply technical understanding of heavy-duty or aeroderivative turbines to support and interpret studies informing system design and optimization decisions.
  • Develop reference architectures for repeatable applications and apply them to customer projects to standardize solutions and ensure consistency and best practices.
  • Interface with utilities and Independent System Operators to ensure compliance with industry standards and regulations and identify collaboration and innovation opportunities.
  • Understand grid-interconnection requirements or have experience with grid-connected applications.

Desired Qualifications

  • Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills and ability to lead engineering teams to high-value technical solutions.
  • Written and oral communication skills suitable for presentations to internal and external business executives.
  • Understanding of government structures and players, global energy policy, worldwide power-system codes and standards, power-market structures, and the macroeconomic impact of regulatory reform.
  • An advanced degree in mechanical, electrical, or power systems engineering from an accredited university or college.
  • Ability to lead, motivate, and influence individuals and teams.
  • General understanding of power systems and control phenomena, including steady-state flow, voltage stability, least-cost generation planning and operation, and controls coordination such as Mark IVE or other systems.
  • General understanding of technical regulatory standards and grid-code compliance evaluation, testing, and reporting.
  • General understanding of power-systems equipment, including generation, load smoothing and storage, transmission, distribution, industrial equipment, battery energy storage systems, solid-state transformers, generators, transformers, circuit breakers, arresters, shunt and series capacitor applications, synchronous condensers, high-voltage direct current systems, and power-electronic converters for renewable energy and industrial applications.
  • General understanding of controls concepts for grid-interactive power-systems equipment, including automatic voltage regulators, power-system stabilizers, frequency response and load controls, stability controls for weak systems, plant-regulator coordination, flexible AC transmission systems, high-voltage direct current systems, and power-equipment technology trends.
  • Understanding of load-flow, dynamic-stability, and/or production-simulation modeling concepts, applications, and validation.

About the Company

GE Vernova

Builds equipment and software for electric power

GE Vernova makes equipment and software that generate and manage electricity for utilities, power producers, and industrial customers. Its Power, Wind, and Electrification businesses span gas turbines, wind generation, and the systems that move electricity across grids. The company supplies generators, grid equipment, and controls, while its software coordinates network operations and integrates changing sources of power. Customers buy equipment and enter service agreements for maintenance, upgrades, and technical support over its operating life, alongside purchases of software and related services. GE Vernova became an independent company in 2024 after separating from GE and is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
