About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience with collaborative robots (cobots), mobile robotics (AGVs/AMRs), or highly flexible or reconfigurable robotic systems suited to high-variant production.
  • Proven experience and deep understanding of Design for Robotics & Automation principles and methodologies, including design elements that enable or hinder automation, modularity, part presentation, and assembly-sequence optimization.
  • Ability to translate complex product designs into actionable recommendations for robotic assembly, welding, material handling, or inspection processes.
  • Experience developing and implementing Design for Robotics & Automation guidelines and training materials for product development teams.
  • Proficiency with computer-aided design tools, specifically Creo, and robotic simulation software for product design evaluation, modification, and assembly simulations.
  • Strong background in product design principles, engineering mechanics, and materials science, particularly their effects on automated manufacturing.
  • Comprehensive understanding of manufacturing processes such as machining, assembly, fabrication, welding, and inspection, and their suitability for robotization and automation.
  • Ability to assess existing product designs for automation suitability and propose modifications that improve efficiency, reduce cost, and enhance quality through automation.
  • Previous experience in power transmission or a good understanding of the company's products and processes.
  • Practical experience applying artificial intelligence or machine learning to robotic vision inspection, anomaly detection, predictive maintenance of automation assets, or adaptive process control, particularly in robotic programming.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in Robotics Engineering, Automation Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related technical field.
  • At least 2 years of progressive experience in robotics, automation engineering, or a closely related field, with significant contributions to Design for Robotics & Automation initiatives.
  • Strong written and verbal English communication skills, including explaining technical concepts to research and development and manufacturing stakeholders, conducting training, and preparing clear documentation.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including proactively identifying, troubleshooting, and resolving technical challenges in complex automated systems and Design for Robotics & Automation discussions.

Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with research and development, manufacturing, industrialization, and other stakeholders to identify and evaluate high-impact opportunities for robotic and automated solutions, translating operational needs into actionable automation concepts for product design and manufacturing processes, particularly in high-variant, low-quantity production.
  • Lead the development, implementation, and promotion of Design for Robotics & Automation guidelines and best practices.
  • Coach and advise research and development teams on optimizing product architectures, component designs, and assembly methods to maximize automation potential and manufacturability from early design stages.
  • Conduct feasibility studies across the product portfolio to analyze opportunities and risks in robotic and automated manufacturing processes, and provide design adaptation proposals informed by Design for Robotics & Automation expertise and current robotics and automation capabilities.
  • Integrate Design for Robotics & Automation assessments into the new product introduction process; evaluate new product designs for robotic manufacturing and assembly, identify challenges, and recommend design changes to improve automation efficiency and flexible-manufacturing adaptability.
  • Explore and facilitate implementation of advanced artificial intelligence techniques with artificial intelligence teams for robotic path planning, automated quality inspection, and adaptive process control, especially to improve flexibility and efficiency in high-variant environments.
  • Contribute to developing and maintaining technical documentation, functional specifications, and knowledge-sharing initiatives for Design for Robotics & Automation.

Desired Qualifications

  • Exposure to Omniverse or Isaac Sim, Python scripting, Isaac Sim API, USD or scene graphs, kinematics and inverse kinematics, sensors, ROS 2 integration, SLAM or localization, navigation, and LiDAR- or vision-based applications.
  • Knowledge of product assembly, robotic accessibility, gripping strategies, tolerances, datum strategies, joining processes, error-proofing, automation feasibility, PLC/MES/WMS integration, cycle-time optimization, and equipment/product co-design.

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.
