Job Description Summary

Your work will help shape the control software behind wind turbines and support the transition to more reliable, efficient renewable energy. As a Senior Embedded Software Architect, you will lead the architecture of real-time control software, guide modernization across product generations, and help teams build solutions that are robust, maintainable, and ready for industrial use.

Job Description Summary

Your work will help shape the control software behind wind turbines and support the transition to more reliable, efficient renewable energy. As a Senior Embedded Software Architect, you will lead the architecture of real-time control software, guide modernization across product generations, and help teams build solutions that are robust, maintainable, and ready for industrial use.

Job Description

What you will do:

• Define and evolve the software architecture, interfaces, and design principles for real-time wind turbine control systems.
• Turn product and control requirements into modular, testable software designs with systems, controls, and quality teams.
• Lead modernization efforts for legacy software and assess functional equivalence, performance, and resource use as designs evolve.
• Guide model-based development using MATLAB/Simulink, automatic code generation, and complementary embedded software in C/C++
• Set verification strategies across unit, integration, and system-level testing, including support for build, release, configuration management, and continuous integration.
• Lead technical reviews, proofs of concept, and investigations, and help resolve complex software and integration issues.
• Mentor engineers, share technical direction across teams, and help build consistent engineering practices.

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent professional experience is also valued.
• Proven experience in embedded software development for real-time systems, including architecture, design, implementation, verification, integration, and release.
• Strong experience with MATLAB/Simulink, model-based development, and automatic code generation for real-time applications.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python.
• Significant experience leading software architecture decisions or major software development efforts in complex technical environments.

Preferred

• Experience in wind energy, renewable energy, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, or other complex control-system environments.
• Experience modernizing legacy embedded or model-based software while maintaining functional and performance expectations.
• Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), or model-in-the-loop (MIL) verification, embedded software quality practices, and supplier coordination.

Why This Role

You will work on software that supports the performance and reliability of wind turbines used around the world. You will join experienced teams solving complex engineering problems while helping shape the software architecture and methods used in future products. GE Vernova offers competitive benefits, support for different ways of living and working, and opportunities for continued learning and career growth.
