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

  • Evaluating and proposing design power generation architectures on an application-specific basis, considering factors such as system performance, and reliability by performing studies and simulations to validate the system's response and performance.


  • Develop and maintain reliability models using BlockSIM to validate system 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 ensure maximum uptime, system resilience and 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) and Service Level Agreement (SLA) expectations into concrete electrical configuration and protective relaying requirements.


  • Support equipment LCOE (Levelized Cost of Energy) and operational reliability requirements. Translate customer reliability goals into actionable engineering design inputs for reference architectures.


  • Perform reliability-centered simulations to derisk integration, ensuring consistency with industry standards and reference architectures.


  • Lead onsite generation report definition and gather necessary information to support customer meetings and final report submittal.


  • Lead business unit coordinator for on-going customer projects and proposals.


  • Supporting & Leading cross-functional efforts to perform coordination studies and requirements testing for the entire power system, working closely with internal stakeholders within Consulting Services and across GE Vernova's business units, including those in engineering, sales, and product development, to drive the growth of GE Vernova's power systems capabilities.


  • Deep technical understanding of power generation system reliability metrics, EPC project integration with the ability to support and interpret these studies to inform system design and optimization decisions.


  • Standardizing solutions by developing reference architectures to certain repeatable applications and subsequently applying those architectures to customer projects ensuring consistency and best practices across all power systems initiatives.


Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited university or college in engineering or business from an accredited university or college.


  • At least 12 years of professional experience in engineering, project or plant reliability or a related function.


  • 5+ years of experience in engineering or technical consulting, including at least 2 years of experience leading teams to deliver high-value technical or strategic solutions.


  • 5+ years of experience in professional roles requiring the development and delivery of technical presentations, with at least 3 years of experience engaging directly with internal or external C-suite/executive leadership.


  • 5+ years of experience managing complex engineering or policy initiatives, with a documented history of delivering at least 3 major projects on-time and within budget constraints.


  • 5+ years of experience analyzing or navigating government structures, global energy policy, and power market mechanics, with demonstrated ability to assess the macroeconomic impacts of regulatory changes.


  • 5+ years of experience with "inside-the-fence" power generation technologies, specifically in the application, design, or maintenance of gas generators, BESS, STATCOMs, HV/LV electrical gear, and fuel cell technologies.


  • 3+ years of hands-on experience performing formal reliability studies, including FMECA (Failure Mode, Effects, and Criticality Analysis), RCA (Root Cause Analysis), FTA (Fault Tree Analysis), and RAM (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability) analysis.


  • 3+ years of direct experience using BlockSim for reliability modeling. Experience with MAPS or MARS preferred.


  • Ability and willingness to travel a minimum of 25% of the time, as required.


Desired Qualifications:

  • Advanced degree in electrical, mechanical or power systems engineering from an accredited university or college.


  • Ability to lead, motivate and influence individuals and teams.
