Job Description Summary Systems engineering

Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centred on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the users needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation. Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance. The role will work within defined parameters to make decisions, apply concepts to issues of moderate complexity, and resolve issues through immediate action or short-term planning. We are looking for our future electrical technical project Lead Engineer to strengthen our engineering department. If you project yourself into our mission and our values, then here are more details on GE GRID, the missions of the position and who we wish to become The GE Renewable - Grid Integration product line is globally recognized for the design, manufacture and supply of custom high voltage direct current (HVDC) solutions for utilities worldwide.
