Essential Responsibilities
Evaluating and proposing design power generation architectures on an application-specific basis, considering factors such as system performance, and reliability by performing studies and simulations to validate the system’s response and performance.
Develop and maintain reliability models using BlockSIM to validate system performance, availability, and maintainability for complex integrated power solutions (e.g., hybrid systems, BESS, and industrial electrical gear).
Lead equipment coordination modeling between teams to ensure maximum uptime, system resilience and operational efficiency for “inside the fence line” power generation assets (including natural gas turbines, HV & LV electrical gear, stability equipment etc.)
Translate key customer availability, mean time between failures (MTBF) and Service Level Agreement (SLA) expectations into concrete electrical configuration and protective relaying requirements.
Support equipment LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) and operational reliability requirements. Translate customer reliability goals into actionable engineering design inputs for reference architectures.
Perform reliability-centered simulations to derisk integration, ensuring consistency with industry standards and reference architectures.
Lead onsite generation report definition and gather necessary information to support customer meetings and final report submittal.
Lead business unit coordinator for on-going customer projects and proposals.
Supporting & Leading cross-functional efforts to perform coordination studies and requirements testing for the entire power system, working closely with internal stakeholders within Consulting Services and across GE Vernova’s business units, including those in engineering, sales, and product development, to drive the growth of GE Vernova's power systems capabilities.
Deep technical understanding of power generation system reliability metrics, EPC project integration with the ability to support and interpret these studies to inform system design and optimization decisions.
Standardizing solutions by developing reference architectures to certain repeatable applications and subsequently applying those architectures to customer projects ensuring consistency and best practices across all power systems initiatives.
Required Qualifications

5+ years of experience with “inside-the-fence” power generation technologies, specifically in the application, design, or maintenance of gas generators, BESS, STATCOMs, HV/LV electrical gear, and fuel cell technologies.
3+ years of hands-on experience performing formal reliability studies, including FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis), RCA (Root Cause Analysis), FTA (Fault Tree Analysis), and RAM (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability) analysis.
3+ years of direct experience using BlockSim for reliability modeling. Experience with MAPS or MARS preferred.
Ability and willingness to travel a minimum of 25% of the time, as required.
