Job Summary
Lead Application Engineer in GE Vernova’s GIS practice focused on grid integration and stability. Responsibilities include performing technical analysis related to power electronic and power systems control of renewable generation, battery energy storage systems, large industrial drives and FACTS; supporting customers with power systems engineering expertise including modeling, analysis, equipment design and failure mode analysis; creating and modifying simulation models for GE Vernova inverter-based resources (wind, solar, battery storage); evaluating grid code standards and their impact on renewable projects; developing IBR/DER products for evolving codes; conducting transient studies and detailed modeling with tools such as PSCAD/EMTDC, EMTP, PSS/E, PowerFactory, PSLF; communicating results through detailed reports and presentations; contributing to industry standards groups and regional forums; travel up to 10% for project work and industry events; and fostering teamwork, quality, customer service, and innovation.
Required Qualifications
- Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, electric power engineering, or related field (no industry experience required) OR Master’s degree in electrical engineering or electric power engineering with 3 years of experience
- Minimum three (3) years of experience performing transient analysis using simulation tools like PSCAD/EMTDC, EMTP, PSS/E, PowerFactory or PSLF
- Minimum three (3) years of experience with the use and application of common programming languages (e.g. Python, MATLAB, FORTRAN)
- Preferred: Solid understanding of inverter-based resources (control system) design and application considerations
- Experience with steady state and dynamic analysis using large data base simulation tools like PSS/E, PowerFactory, PSLF and use of programming languages like C, C++
- Experience in creating and modifying dynamic user models in simulation tools like PSS/E, PowerFactory and PSLF
- Experience in creating and modifying dynamic models for use in simulation tools like ATP/EMTP, PSCAD/EMTDC and EMTP-RV
- Advanced experience in electromagnetic transient simulation tools like PSCAD/EMTDC,EMTP (e.g. FORTRAN programming of user-written models in PSCAD (“black box” models) and in EMTP, use of Python/MATLAB scripting to automate execution and analysis of multiple simulations)
- Demonstrated application of complex mathematics and engineering to real-world electric power system problems
