Benefits offered by this job

Relocation assistance

Job summary

GE Vernova is seeking an experienced engineer to shape wind turbine control models using MATLAB and Simulink. You will develop modular models for sensors, actuators, and control logic across pitch, yaw, braking, and fault handling, and support MIL/SIL/HIL verification.

You will translate datasheets and test results into robust models, validate them against real data, and lead reviews while mentoring junior engineers to raise modeling standards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
• Significant experience in modeling and simulation engineering with ownership of deliverables.
• Strong hands-on experience with MATLAB and Simulink for model development, scripting, debugging, automation, and reusable components.
• Proven experience building dynamic models of sensors and actuators and implementing control logic from requirements.
• Strong understanding of control theory, feedback systems, and numerical simulation.

Responsibilities

• Lead the full model development lifecycle from requirements to release.
• Develop and maintain modular MATLAB/Simulink models for wind turbine sensors, actuators, and control logic.
• Translate datasheets and test data into model equations, parameters, and acceptance criteria.
• Build models reflecting real system behavior, including delays, noise, saturation, and faults.
• Define and automate verification/validation activities including regression testing.
• Support MIL/SIL/HIL activities and investigate differences between simulated and measured behavior.
• Provide technical leadership through reviews, mentoring, and improving modeling standards.
