Job Description Summary

The HQ Global Process Engineering Authority (GPEA) for Assembly, Functional Testing & Facility is the enterprise-wide architect for GE Vernova’s product integration and validation framework, supporting Power, Wind, and Electrification across +130 manufacturing facilities. While business-level teams focus on the implementation of specific assembly lines or test stands (point solutions), this HQ GPEA owns the foundational standards that govern how products are mechanically built, functionally verified, and physically integrated into a unified "Operational Excellence Framework".

This GPEA has the responsibility to identify the "Gold Standards" and create and communicate the "Locked Configurations" for Assembly, Testing, and Facility-level technologies that allow local innovations to be scaled globally. Their mission is to ensure that every capital investment in assembly cells, test bays, and facility infrastructure is designed for maximum flow, reliability, automation, and rapid global scaling. Serving as the final technical authority for integration and performance-verification technology, they ensure all shop-floor assets are "1P1P Standard Ready" and optimized for design-compliant production. You will influence a global network of Business GPELs and Factory LPEAs to drive SQDC improvements by orchestrating how electro-mechanical assembly, functional testing, and facility-level logistics interact across the entire GE Vernova value stream.

The GPEA will coach and influence a dotted-line organization, comprised of factory technical leads across the organization. Critical to the role is leveraging analytical skills, the lean methodology and the guiding principle of creating process standards for equipment (“One Product One Process”) to drive SQDC in line with business and functional objectives. The candidate chosen for this position will acquire strong technical knowledge and extensive exposure to manufacturing, engineering, quality, and safe process development. The selected candidate plays a key role in the value stream, and in building a culture of inclusion and respect for people as well as continuous improvement.

Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Standards Governance: Synthesize, author, and govern the 1P1P standards using existing templates (e.g., Global Technical Equipment Specifications (TES), Manufacturing Process Standards (MPS), Automation Process Standards (APS), Request for Quote (RFQ), etc.) for all Assembly, Test, and Facility subclasses.

• Integration & Flow Optimization: Define the technical standards for electro-mechanical assembly (e.g. Torque, Tension, Fit), balancing, and the physical flow of parts (e.g. part handling, part movement) to ensure a high-velocity and ergonomic manufacturing environment.

• Locked Configuration Management: Evaluate successful business-level innovations in technologies such as precision torquing, leak testing, automated kitting and codify them into locked configurations to enable rapid enterprise-wide deployment and capital efficiency.

• Performance Validation Standards: Establish and enforce equipment capability standards for functional testing (Electrical, Mechanical, Fluid, Functional) to ensure that every product shipped meets strict design-compliance and field-reliability requirements.

• Facility & Infrastructure Integration: Architect the enterprise strategy for standardized facility requirements—including industrial utilities, HVAC, lifting/rigging standards, specialized test bay enclosures, and facility-level environmental controls to ensure a safe, optimized, and repeatable integration process.

• SQDC Orchestration: Collaborate with Business GPELs and Factory LPEAs to translate assembly and test data into measurable improvements in Safety (Ergonomics/Lifting), Quality (First Pass Yield/Leak Reduction), Delivery (Takt Time), and Cost (Capacity Optimization) across the Business/Segment/Enterprise.

• P&E Strategic Authority: Act as the final technical authority for enterprise-wide assembly, test, and facility infrastructure investments, ensuring alignment with the 1P1P global taxonomy.
