Engineer-Electrical Systems

Job Description SummaryActivities aimed at proving a concept to be valid or technically feasible by the application of scientific and engineering methodologies. Work in this family typically has the objective of demonstrating through test or analyses the performance and implementation potential of a concept

Impacts quality of own work and the work of others on the team. Executes standard operational/technical tasks typically subject to instructions and work routines. There is latitude to rearrange the sequence to complete task/duties based on changing work situations.Job Description

Roles and Responsibilities

• Conceptual or theoretical activities that deals with the study/research and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
• Broadening knowledge of own technical discipline to execute policy/strategy. May include support roles with specialized technical field of knowledge; still acquiring higher level knowledge and skills.
• Basic understanding of key business drivers; uses this understanding to accomplish own work. Good understanding of how work of own team integrates with other teams and contributes to the area.
• May have some autonomy to make decisions within a defined framework. Resolves issues in situations that require good technical knowledge and judgment within established procedures. Consults more senior team members for issues outside of defined instructions/parameters.
• A job at this level requires good interpersonal skills and may be required to lead a junior team. For customer facing roles, develops strong customer relationships and serves as the interface between customer and GE. Explains technical information to others.
• As an Engineer, you will:
  • Simulate, analyze and design advanced electrical power conversion systems consisting of electromechanical systems, power electronics and controls.
  • Develop and implement in hardware advanced controls of electrical system.
  • Conduct power electronics research involving modeling and simulation of components and circuits, design of power electronic circuits and controls, and test of lab scale circuit and system prototype
  • Design and implement controls for power electronics circuits and systems
  • Collaborate with both GE Vernova product engineers and with global research team members on technical projects
