Job Description Summary

The HQ Global Process Engineering Authority (GPEA) for Discrete Manufacturing & Material Shaping is the enterprise-wide architect for GE Vernova's geometric component creation framework, supporting Power, Wind, and Electrification across +130 manufacturing facilities. While business-level teams focus on the implementation of specific part-production lines (point solutions), this HQ GPEA owns the foundational standards that govern how raw materials are formed and high-precision components are machined into a unified "Geometric Manufacturing Framework."

This GPEA has the responsibility to identify the 'Gold Standards' and create and communicate the 'Locked Configurations' for Shaping and Machining technologies that allow local innovations to be scaled globally. Their mission is to ensure that every capital investment in forming and machining is designed for maximum material yield, cycle-time efficiency, reliability, automation, and rapid global scaling. Serving as the final technical authority for geometry-creation 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 raw material shaping, precision machining, and advanced cutting insights 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.

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 Shaping and Machining subclasses.
• Geometric Process Optimization: Define the technical standards from the transition from raw material forming (Forming, Sectioning) to subtractive machining (Mill&Drill, Turn, Broach, Grind, EDM, Laser) to ensure a high-efficiency manufacturing flow.
• Locked Configuration Management: Evaluate successful business-level innovations in tool-path optimization or near-net-shape forming and codify them into Locked Configurations to enable rapid enterprise-wide deployment and capital efficiency.
• Geometric Precision Standards: Establish and enforce equipment capability standards to ensure new assets across the +130 facilities are capable of meeting the tightest tolerances required for next-generation Vernova products.
• Advanced Technology Integration: Architect the enterprise strategy for reducing material waste and optimizing advanced cutting-tool technologies to reduce cycle time while maintaining strict design compliance.
• SQDC Orchestration: Collaborate with Business GPELs and Factory LPEAs to translate machining and forming data into measurable improvements in Safety (Ergonomics), Quality (Cpk), Delivery (Cycle Time), and Cost (Capital Avoidance).
• P&E Strategic Authority: Act as the final technical authority for enterprise-wide shaping and machining investments, ensuring alignment with the 1P1P global taxonomy.
• Ensure compliance with industry safety and regulatory standards throughout the development and deployment process.
• Stay up-to-date with advancements in advanced CNC manufacturing & automation technologies.
• Provide technical support, leadership and coaching to a Global team of regional experts to operationalize new equipment standards, processes and systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., EHS, Manufacturing Engineers, Design Engineering, Process Engineers, Quality, Materials, Industrialization, Operations, Sourcing, Robotics & Automation, Digital)
• Interpret internal and external business challenges and recommends best practices to improve products, processes or services. Stays informed of industry trends that may inform work.
• Use a high level of judgment to make decisions and handle complex tasks or problems in areas of operational, product management, manufacturing, technology or engineering. Has ability to assess quality of information given and ask pertinent questions to stakeholders. Presents new solutions to problems outside of set parameters and is able to construct and provide recommendations. Uses multiple internal and some external sources outside of own function to help arrive
