Job summary

GE Vernova is seeking an experienced engineer to lead design and development of medium-voltage VSD systems for industrial applications. You will drive power conversion, motor control, and control algorithm development across the full engineering lifecycle, including real-time simulation, HIL testing, and product validation.

The role requires a Master’s in Electrical Engineering or related field and several years’ experience with medium-voltage drives, modulation techniques, and real-time models.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Electronics, Electrical Drives, or related field.
• Several years of experience in variable speed drives, power conversion, motor control, or industrial automation systems.
• Deep knowledge of medium-voltage power electronics including rectifiers, inverters, active front ends, and motor drive systems.
• Hands-on experience developing motor control algorithms including FOC and vector control.
• Experience with modulation strategies such as SVM, PWM, GDPWM and related switching techniques.
• Experience developing simulation models for power electronic systems and electric drive applications.

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize medium-voltage power conversion systems (transformers, AFE/DFE, motor bridges, filters).
• Develop and enhance motor control algorithms (FOC, vector control) for IGBT/thyristor-based converters.
• Define and validate integrated control strategies balancing performance, reliability, and constraints.
• Create offline models and real-time digital twins for development, validation, and HIL testing.
• Develop real-time electrotechnical models using RT-LAB and other platforms to accelerate development.
• Lead system integration and validation on real-time platforms and physical test systems.
