Job Description

Essential Responsibilities:

• Provide product development and technical analysis related to power electronic and power systems control of renewable generation, battery energy storage systems, and large industrial drives.
• Develop technical understanding of electrical characteristics of GE power electronics products and their integration to electrical grids.
• Support customers with power systems engineering expertise; including equipment design, specification studies, commissioning support, troubleshooting, and failure mode analyses.
• Supporting continuous development of transmission and distribution connected products based on evolving codes and standards through participation in industry standards groups and leading innovative approaches to power equipment design.
• Effectively communicate to both internal and external customers by preparing detailed written reports or presentations describing analyses performed, solutions developed, and customer value propositions.
• Support domestic and international projects across regions depending on overall market needs and communicate customer needs and values back to GE.
• Actively participate on and support project teams ensuring high quality deliverables, budget, and on-time project metrics are met.
• Actively participate in a working environment where teamwork, quality, customer service and innovation are prized

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in electrical or electric power engineering or related degree
• Minimum 3 years of professional exp in an engineering field (or Bachelors degree and relevant research experience)
• Minimum 1 year experience in MATLAB/PSCAD, PSSE/ PSLF, Python, C, C#, Hardware in Loop Testing (HIL)

Desired Characteristics:

• Master’s or PhD degree in electrical or electric power engineering, or related field of study.
• Demonstrated modeling and technical experience in technical performance analysis of electric power systems with power electronic sources or loads. Experience in planning and execution of technical projects relevant to electric power systems and equipment design.
• Excellent interpersonal communication skills (e.g. ability to effectively communicate with all levels of GE and customer/plant staff).
• Understanding of grid systems interactions with power plant equipment and controls.
• Experience with time-domain simulation tools (ATP/EMTP desired, PSCAD/EMTDC required, and MATLAB desired).
• Experience with programming environments to understand controller code and complex simulation modeling (Python or Fortran desired)
• Demonstrated application of complex mathematics and engineering to real-world (not merely academic) electric power problems.
• Experience with time-domain simulation tools, specifically programming, tuning, and using user-written “black box” models in PSCAD for wind turbine generators, solar inverters, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or other advanced power electronic based systems.
• Industry reputation, prior IEEE/CIGRE published articles related to practical (not overly-academic) topics, participation in industry standards working groups.
• Awarded patents on HV power equipment applications a plus.
• Experience with modeling and simulating inverter-based technologies in PSSE and PSLF using both generic and user written models.
