Job description

Job Description Summary

Help shape how the next generation of wind turbines is designed. You build the multibody simulation models that help GE Vernova bring new products to market with bankable quality. You also use them to solve problems in turbines already operating in the field.

You join the MultiBody Simulations (MBS) team in the System Simulation Subsystem. The team creates validated modeling capabilities that support New Product Introduction (NPI), site suitability assessments, and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of field issues. You can try new methods here and see them adopted in the design toolchain.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and own advanced multibody simulation capabilities, from development through long‑term maintenance.
• Plan and run simulations that support NPI, site suitability assessments, and RCA.
• Turn field learnings and new technology into better models, simulation methods, and design practices.
• Present your analysis strategy, results, and lessons learned in design reviews with senior engineering decision‑makers.
• Improve software tools, system models, and design load calculation methods.
• Define, run, and review validation plans so models stay credible and consistent across teams.
• Mentor colleagues, and create user interfaces, training material, and user guides for internal customers.

Qualifications

You are an experienced simulation engineer who enjoys solving complex dynamics problems and explaining the results clearly to technical and non‑technical audiences.

Required
