Jobbeschreibung

Job Description Summary

Critical infrastructure doesn't run on good intentions — it runs on networks that never fail. As a Telecom Lead Engineer within GE Vernova's Grid Solutions business, you will be at the center of designing and integrating the communication backbone of some of the world's most complex high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and alternating current (AC) substation projects. Your work ensures that every signal, every command, and every data exchange across these systems is reliable, secure, and built to last. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone (m/f/d) who combines deep technical expertise in local and wide-area networks with the ability to coordinate across suppliers, customers, and internal teams to bring complex designs to life.

What You'll Do

• Lead the integration of network components within large-scale HVDC/AC substation turnkey projects, coordinating with internal teams and external suppliers from design through delivery.
• Own in-house network design and drive the supplier delivery.
• Conduct comprehensive design reviews and interface alignment sessions, applying your knowledge to challenge supplier proposals and customer requirements, and driving resolution through structured technical queries.
• Evaluate and recommend solutions across redundancy protocols, routing configurations, and high-availability architectures to meet project-specific performance and reliability requirements.
• Share your expertise with less experienced colleagues, helping to build team capability and align technical approaches across the project.

Who We're Looking For

You are a telecom or network engineer (m/f/d) with proven hands-on experience in industrial or critical infrastructure environments. You bring a level of technical depth that allows you to both build and challenge — designing robust solutions while questioning assumptions that could compromise performance or safety.

Required

• A formal degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Telecommunications, or a related field is a plus, but we are most interested in your total experience and professional achievements.
• Cisco Platforms: experience with Cisco ASR 903 / IE9X series; ability to manage system resources, deeply understand the implementation aspects, configuration, including the automated tools available.
• MPLS & Core Routing: Advanced configuration of MPLS L3VPNs, LDP and RSVP-TE.
• DWDM/Optical: Practical understanding of active and passive components for multiplexing and amplification as well as FO cabling, splicing and patching.
• Layer 2/3 Segmentation: Expert-level configuration of VLANs, sub-interfaces and complex VRF structures for multi-tenant environments.
• Redundancy Protocols: Proven track record in configuring and testing High Availability features like BFD, HSRP/VRRP, and MPLS Fast Reroute to ensure sub-second convergence.
• Routing Protocols: Deep-dive proficiency in BGP (MP-BGP, route maps, prefix-lists, community strings) and IGPs (OSPF or IS-IS) in a multi-area service provider environment.

Preferred Experience

• Preferred Experience using automation and scripting tools — Python, AI-assisted tooling, or equivalent — to streamline everyday network engineering tasks.
• Hands-on experience with network monitoring and packet capture tools such as Wireshark for troubleshooting and diagnostics.
• Knowledge of Industrial Networks, related to substation Automation: PRP/RSTP/NTP/PTP protocols, IEC 104/61850-series standards for Substation Automation.
• Cisco certifications (CCNA, CCNP, CCDE, CCIE) are valued, though demonstrable practical experience carries equal weight.
