Job Description Summary

As a Senior Reliability Engineer, you are at the vanguard of the energy transition. You will architect the future of Power, Wind, and Electrification by driving cutting-edge systems integration, modeling, and simulation. From shaping data center power strategy to steering high-impact roadmaps, you will orchestrate collaborations with the DOE, DOD, top-tier universities, and global industry partners. This is your chance to pioneer the next generation of reliable, efficient, and stable energy systems that will power the world.

Job Description

Essential Responsibilities

• Evaluatingandproposingdesignpower generationarchitectures on an application-specific basis, considering factors such as system performance, and reliabilityby performing studiesandsimulations tovalidatethe system’s response and performance.
• Develop andmaintainreliability models usingBlockSIMtovalidatesystem performance, availability, and maintainability for complex integrated power solutions (e.g., hybrid systems, BESS, and industrial electrical gear).
• Lead equipment coordination modeling between teams to ensuremaximumuptime, systemresilienceand operational efficiency for “inside the fence line”power generation assets (including natural gas turbines, HV & LV electrical gear, stability equipment etc.)
• Translate key customer availability, mean time between failures (MTBF) andService Level Agreement(SLA) expectations into concrete electrical configuration and protective relaying requirements.
• SupportequipmentLCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) and operational reliability requirements. Translate customer reliability goals into actionable engineering design inputs forreference architectures.
• Perform reliability-centered simulations to derisk integration, ensuring consistency with industry standards and referencearchitectures.
• Lead onsite generation report definition and gather necessary information to support customer meetings and final report submittal.
• Lead business unit coordinator foron-goingcustomer projects and proposals.
• Supporting &Leadingcross-functional efforts to perform coordination studies and requirements testing for the entire power system, working closely with internal stakeholderswithin Consulting Services andacross GEVernova’sbusiness units,includingthose inengineering, sales, and product development, to drive the growth of GEVernova'spower systems capabilities.
• Deep technicalunderstandingofpower generation system reliability metrics, EPC project integrationwith the ability tosupportand interpret these studies to inform system design and optimization decisions.
• Standardizing solutions by developing reference architectures to certain repeatable applications andsubsequentlyapplying those architectures to customer projectsensuring consistency and best practices across all power systems initiatives.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree from an accredited university or college in engineeringor businessfrom an accredited university or college.
