Power Systems Engineer – Renewables

Job Description Summary
Systems engineering is a cross-functional engineering discipline centered on an approach, mindset, and process. All activities that consider both the business and the technical needs of the customers with the goal of providing a quality product that meets the user's needs. The discipline that executes a robust process of design, creation, and optimization of systems, consisting of identification and quantification of system requirements, creation of alternate system design concepts, performance of design trade studies, selection and implementation of the best designs and verification that the design is properly integrated and executed. Process that proceeds from concept to production to operation.

Impacts departmental operations and responsible for planning/execution. The role has some autonomy but is focused on execution of activities within an operating discipline covered by standard functional practices and procedures. Some judgment may be required but this is typically with guidance.

• MATLAB, PSSE, PSLF, Python, C, C#

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Expertise in power systems modeling and simulation, especially with inverter-based resources (IBRs) and power electronics.
• Hands-on experience developing and tuning models in PSCAD, PSS/E, PowerFactory, or similar platforms.
• Familiarity with grid code compliance, system integration, and performance optimization.
• Knowledge of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and real-time control validation.
• Strong programming background in Python, MATLAB, or Fortran for simulation and model customization.
• Excellent communication skills for interacting with internal teams and external clients.
• Publication record (IEEE/CIGRE) and/or participation in standards groups is a plus.
• Patents or innovation in high-voltage equipment design are a bonus.

Why Join Us
At GE Vernova, you'll be part of a team that's driving the transition to a cleaner, smarter, and more resilient energy future. You'll work on impactful projects, collaborate with industry experts, and contribute to technologies that are powering the world sustainably.
